Diehl Defence Highlights Ground-Based Air Defence Solutions in Singapore
Diehl Defence recently put the spotlight on its ground-based air defence (GBAD) solutions and guided missile products at the Singapore Airshow 2024. The company’s stand featured models of systems for short and medium-range GBAD, named IRIS-T SLS and IRIS-T SLM, for altitudes of up to 20 km and distances of up to 40 km.
GBAD systems have seen increased demand, particularly in Europe, since several conflicts have erupted or escalated over the last two years. Diehl Defence has delivered fire units of IRIS-T SLM to several customers worldwide since 2022, with customer testimonials confirming that the system regularly achieves hit rates of almost 100 per cent. Thus, IRIS-T SLM, as one of the most modern ground-based air defence systems in this market segment, is combat-proven.
GBAD systems by Diehl Defence are based on the company’s expertise with guided missiles, most notably the IRIS-T air-to-air short-range missile. At the Singapore Airshow, Diehl Defence exhibited its IRIS-T guided missile, which is integrated into many Western fighter aircraft and is in service in Asia on Thailand’s Gripen aircraft as well as on the country’s F-16s and F-5s.
Diehl Defence is also collaborating with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) on integrating IRIS-T on the KF-21 and FA-50/T-50 platforms as part of their ongoing development programme. A major milestone was passed in 2023 with the successful live firing of an IRIS-T missile from an airborne KF-21.
Furthermore, KF-21s are due to be delivered to the ROK Air Force, with Indonesia being another partner in the industrial programme. The IRIS-T missile is considered to be a suitable match for the KF-21, making it the ideal fighter solution for air forces in Southeast Asia and around the world.
As a reliable partner of the German and international armed forces, Diehl Defence is a leading systems house for air defence systems. In addition to systems for ground-based air defence, the product portfolio of the company headquartered in Überlingen, Germany, includes guided missiles for all branches of the armed forces, ammunition for the army, air force and navy, as well as protection systems. In addition, the company develops and produces key components such as infrared modules, fuzes and special batteries.
