The Franco-German designed "ROLAND II" system, mounted on MAN 8X8 or 6X6 trucks served as an air defense system from 1980 until 2005 in Germany and from 1977 until 2008 in France.
More than 27,000 missiles were produced between 1978 and 1990, and various systems were designed to use them, as shown here with this air-transportable CAROL fire management prototypes.
The "ROLAND" missile mounted on these trucks was used to protect installations against air attack.
This missile could target within an 18-kilometer radius, chase a flying machine over 8 kilometers, hit targets at altitudes ranging from 20 meters to 5,500 meters, and fly at speeds of up to 1,500 kph
The truck housed the "ROLAND II" command post, as well as storage for other "ROLAND" missiles.
It could also be air-transported for German rapid reaction forces.
The USA also bought this anti-aircraft system and used it from 1978 to 1988.
Spain, which owned 18 AMX30 ROLANDs, retired them from active service in 2015.
Slovenia had bought German surpluses in October 2001 with 151 ROLAND missiles. These were destroyed in 2016, but Slovenia retained the radar vehicles used for the ROLAND II system...
The automatic refuelling of the missiles can be seen in this video:
The German Army had also mounted it on MARDER 1A3 tanks.
