This order is part of a framework agreement between Saab and Diehl Defence, which offers the possibility for additional procurement in the future, where Saab’s share is up to approximately €140 million. The agreement allows orders to be placed for up to 160 missiles until the end of 2024.

The RBS15 missiles and launcher systems provided in this order will be placed on the German Navy’s K130 Braunschweig-class corvettes. In addition to the missile systems, the order also includes associated equipment and services. The German Navy has been a user of RBS15 since 2011.

We look forward to continue building our partnership and supporting the German Navy’s capability with our state-of-the art anti-ship missile systems”, says Micael Johansson, President and CEO of Saab.

“The new contract award is a sign of confidence from the German Navy and government authorities toward Diehl Defence and its strategic cooperation with Saab in the field of modern weapon systems destined for the Navy”

Built for deployment on multiple platforms, the RBS15 missile system currently serves with the armed forces of several nations around the world.
