MBDA Germany recently said it has supplied a missile threat simulation tool to the German Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement (BWB).
This system allows simulation of all types of missiles, particularly ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, physically correct and in great detail–from launch to impact. Using this technology, technical propositions regarding threats can be organized, narrowed down and formulated with greater precision.
Threats to nations or to troops on deployment from proliferating theater ballistic, short-range and medium-range missiles (TBMs) can be analyzed. Additionally, the data makes possible the analysis of air defense systems performance capability. The knowledge gained can be used in the development of modern air defense systems. Finally, the threat simulation helps to continually expand and update the air defense target catalog.
“The threat simulation we have developed is unmatched in Germany,” said Walter Stammler, head of operations at MBDA Germany. “It is a part of our unique range of skills in the fields of air and missile defense which also includes our new simulation and integration center, our test and training center in Freinhausen and our laser weapon facilities.”
MBDA Germany is the leading missile systems company in Germany and part of the European MBDA Group.
MBDA owned by BAE Systems with 37.5 percent, European Aeronautic Defense And Space (EADS) with 37.5 percent and Finmeccanica with 25 percent.
