View of the Rooivalk XDM in a decidedly 'African' environment - where the experience was gained to write the requirement that gave rise to the CSH-2 weapons system. While the Rooivalk was born out of a primarily 'bush' requirement, its capabilities lend itself to any land environment and it would also fit well into a maritime strike situation.
