Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard ("protilietadlový delový tank Geetah", známejší ako Flakpanzer Gepard) je autonómna nemecká samohybná protilietadlová zbraň (SPAAG). Bol vyvinutý v šesťdesiatych rokoch a v 70. rokoch 20.t a bol niekoľkokrát modernizovaný najnovšou elektronikou. Predstavovala základný kameň protivzdušnej obrany nemeckej armády (Bundeswehr) a mnohých ďalších krajín NATO. V Nemecku bol Gepard koncom roka 2010 postupne vyradený a nahradený "SysFla", mobilným a stacionárnym systémom protivzdušnej obrany, ktorý používa raketu LFK NG a nový zbraňový systém MANTIS. Mobilná platforma SysFla bude pravdepodobne založená na GTK Boxer.
Holandský variant : Search radar: X band, 15 km range Tracking radar: X/Ka band, 13 km range The Dutch version was officially called the PRTL (PantserRupsTegenLuchtdoelen translating to “ArmourTrackAgainstAirtargets”), pronounced as “pruttel” (meaning ‘to sputter’) by the soldiers. The Dutch series version was made public through a photograph of a vehicle from a C-Company, the first to be equipped with the new weapon. Traditionally all Dutch vehicles in a company have names beginning with the company designation letter and this vehicle happened to have the individual name Cheetah painted in bold type on its turret. Inevitably the international press assumed “Cheetah” was the Dutch name for their Gepard version and this mistake found its way into most armour publications on the subject. In 2000 the Dutch military authorities, tired of constantly having to explain all this and considering “pruttle” was hardly a martial name anyway, conformed themselves to common error and made “Cheetah” the official designation, when the system was upgraded.
