Rafael Advanced Defence Systems Ltd., Diehl Defence GmbH & Co. KG, and Hensoldt Sensors GmbH have entered into a teaming agreement focused on the modular SPICE 250 ER (Extended Range) system. The agreement was signed by the three parties during a ceremony at Le Bourget.
Building upon previous successful collaborations, this partnership aims to provide cutting-edge solutions for the German Luftwaffe, featuring unique capabilities and enhancements in specific for the Eurofighter EK and overall LuWES program.
The Eurofighter EK programme, currently under development, is intended to replace the Tornado Eloka electronic warfare (EW) platforms currently in operation with the German Luftwaffe.
Offering the SPICE 250 ER solution, Diehl Defence is getting one step closer to becoming the German Luftwaffe’s prime contractor for airborne ammunition.
This collaboration follows prior agreements between Rafael and Diehl Defence on the SPICE Family of munitions. Additionally, Rafael’s agreement with Hensoldt in the Elecronic Warfare domain, including the highly regarded Sky Shield/Kalaetron Wideband Electronic Attack and Escort Jamming Pod, further strengthens the expertise and synergy between the parties.
The three parties together cover all necessary expertise to answer current and future demands in regard to stand-off and EW capabilities.
Rafael’s SPICE 250 ER system, derived from the combat-proven SPICE Family of highly automated Human-in-the-loop air-to-surface systems, serves as the foundation for this collaboration.
The SPICE 250 ER employs a turbojet engine, enabling it to operate at extended stand-off ranges. Therefore, managing to cope with for example today’s long-range Air Defence threats.
With its modularity Spice 250 ER allows for carrying enhanced payloads by replacing the traditional warhead. It now provides Suppression of Enemy Air Defence (SEAD) capabilities. Furthermore, the SPICE 250 ER incorporates standardized electrical and physical interfaces found across the SPICE Family, optimizing platform integration and reducing the life cycle cost.
By joining forces, Rafael, Diehl Defence, and Hensoldt aim to deliver an advanced solution that meets the evolving needs of modern warfare. The collaborative effort ensures the German Luftwaffe benefits from the combined expertise and state-of-the-art technology contributed by each partner.
