Diehl Defense
successfully participated with a navalized system demonstrator of the proven ground-based air defence system Iris-T SLM in the “Maritime Firing Exercise 2025” (MFE) – the largest missile firing exercise of the German Navy.
German Navy
for three decades – took part.
The exercise, known as “Andøya”, allows the crews to train complex weapon systems and procedures under near-real conditions.
A so-called AAW module (Anti Air Warfare Module) was developed in close cooperation with the customer in record time and integrated on the C-Deck of the frigate “Baden-Württemberg” (type F125). According to the company, the demonstrator was implemented in less than ten months, from idea to firing.
The iIris-T SLM system, which has already proven its worth in the Ukraine war has also proven its qualities on the high seas, meeting all the test and trial targets set for the MFE 2025 and confirming its high hit rate. Diehl Defence has thus reached the important milestone of having successfully tested a navalized variant of an air defence system with a missile from the Iris-T family for the first time.
This successful test paves the way for the series launch of Iris-T SLM for the navy.
