Rheinmetall and MBDA Deutschland have decided to continue their successful cooperation in laser weapons.
The aim is to bring a joint maritime product to the market within the next five to six years, which opens up new possibilities, particularly about drone defence on ships. Both companies are convinced that their complementary skills in the field of laser weapon technology will enable them to develop a military laser weapon system successfully.
The companies have now concluded a corresponding cooperation agreement.
Most recently, a laser weapon demonstrator from Rheinmetall and MBDA Germany was integrated on the German Navy’s frigate 124 “Sachsen” from June 2022 to September 2023. During this on-board trial, the demonstrator performed impressively in more than 100 test shots.
