Diehl Defence

We look back on two exciting days at Berlin Security Conference 2024.   #DiehlDefence was part of the conference program with the panel participation of Stefan Bullmer and an exhibition area on site. We were particularly pleased about the visit of Lieutenant General Günter Katz, Commanding General Air Force Forces Command, and Lieutenant General Thorsten Poschwatta Commander of the German Air Operations Command. In an interesting exchange, the two visitors caught up on the IRIS-T family and commented positively on the rapid delivery of the first IRIS-T SLM fire unit to the German Air Force as well as the support provided for training on the weapon system.   We would like to thank all participants for the interesting discussions and a big thank you to the organization team of the Berlin Security #Conference.

RAM-System GmbH (RAMSYS), a joint venture of #DiehlDefence and MBDA Deutschland, has signed a procurement contract with the Dutch procurement authority "The Materiel and IT Command" (COMMIT).   COMMIT jointly procures a total of 7 + 2 Rolling Airframe Missile Launching Systems (RAM GMLS) for the Royal Netherlands Navy and the Belgian #Navy. The Netherlands and Belgium join Germany, Greece and Turkey as European user nations of this highly efficient and agile ship self-defence system. In 2024, RAM was able to prove its capabilities impressively under combat circumstances in the Red Sea keeping ship and crew safe. Meanwhile, the 3rd generation of the weapon system and the 6th generation of missiles is in use. The continuous further development of the weapon system is the cornerstone for the exceptional capability and the outstanding hit probability. #defenceindustry #news

Our team is currently at #Berlin Security Conference 2024, another great highlight towards the end of the year.   Yesterday Stefan Bullmer, Senior Vice President Strategy and Business Development at #DiehlDefence, joined a panel on “Land Capabilities in View of contemporary Conflicts” at this year‘s conference. With other panelists, such as the German Army Chief Lieutenant General Alfons Mais and his French counterpart as well as other industrial representatives, he discussed recent learnings of land warfare, particularly threats by drones and appropriate countermeasures. It was a great exchange between industrial experts, two army chiefs and the knowledgeable audience.   We are looking forward to another exciting conference and exhibition day!   #BSC24 #defenceindustry #security

#DiehlDefence is pleased to be part of the new #ASCI Community. Together with European Defence Agency and many #European partner companies, Diehl Defence takes actively part in the development of unmanned systems in all domains for many years.

EU supports the joint procurement of IRIS-T SLM with Project JAMIE   The EU Commission has approved the funding of 5 multinational projects to promote more efficient procurement of defence equipment between EU member states. The #JAMIE (Joint Air Missile Defence Initiative in Europe) project is one of the projects chosen to strengthen European air defence capabilities. This initiative supports the joint procurement of the fully interoperable IRIS-T SLM air defence system by the EU member states Germany, Slovenia, Austria, Latvia, Estonia and Bulgaria. As part of the #EDIRPA (European Defence Industry Reinforcement through common Procurement Act), the project receives funding of 60 million euros.   The successful deployment with high effectiveness of the IRIS-T SLM systems in Ukraine underlines the importance of this modern system for #European air defence in the medium-range layer. #diehldefence #irist

Impressive insights into complex missile technologies - that's what we offer young professionals and students from various universities and colleges. In October, we welcomed the VDI Young Engineers Bodensee, students from Heilbronn University and a group from the #EUROAVIA student initiative to our site in Überlingen.   The participants had the opportunity to get to know #DiehlDefence and gained exciting insights into missile production and the versatile product portfolio. During each visit, our technical experts highlighted a specialist topic in more detail, such as production #engineering, aerodynamics and propulsion, guidance and navigation or unmanned systems.   We would like to thank the visitor groups for their great interest and would be delighted to welcome some of the participants to the Diehl Defence team in the future.

Successful and on time! The #HYDEF Consortium reaches 2 further important milestones with the Early Maturation Kick-Off Meeting (EM KO) and the Progress Review Meeting (PRM2).   The EM KO marks the beginning of the technology maturation activities. Among other things, #DiehlDefence as Technical Coordinator, worked together with the consortium on the validation of the planned activities, including critical technologies. The meeting also served to assess and advance the current technological maturity level of these technologies.   The HYDEF program is moving forward - we are proud to be part of this consortium.

In October, Diehl Defence took part at the Joint Air and Space Power #Conference in Essen.   We look back on a top-class event with a versatile agenda. The panel discussions covered many current and important topics with well-chosen speakers. We were delighted to contribute to the conference program with a presentation held by Sinikka Salchow on the subject of "Integrated Air Defence in an evolving threat landscape".   At the #DiehlDefence booth, our team welcomed numerous high-ranking guests and had the opportunity to engage in interesting exchanges. A special highlight was the visit and the comprehensive discussions with Lieutenant General Thorsten Poschwatta from the German Air Force.   We would like thank the organization team and are already looking forward to the next event! #airdefence #irist #defenceindustry Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC) Luftwaffe - German Airforce Pictures: © JAPCC
