Lockheed/MBDA JV delivers amended IAMD proposal for Germany
TLVS (a JV between Lockheed Martin and MBDA Deutschland) on 14 August submitted an updated proposal to deliver the future Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) system for Germany.
The JV submitted its proposal to the German defence procurement agency BAAINBw, covering development, testing, certification, and delivery of a mobile IAMD system.
MBDA Deutschland managing director Thomas Gottschild said: “More than 80 subcontractors will support the TLVS programme... A broad spectrum of industrial capabilities is to be involved covering system of systems engineering, cybersecurity, digitisation, as well as cutting-edge radar, optical and electrical engineering including small and medium suppliers.’
The TLVS proposal is designed to offer safety against broader threats than the legacy Patriot system, and will be equipped with enhanced sensor capabilities for long-range engagements.
