Cand e vorba de denumirea unor sisteme integrate de aparare anti-aeriana, “Patriot and Below Concept” ia premiul pentru cel mai interesant nume. “Patriot si cele de sub el” e o idee impinsa in fata de o echipa compusa din Rheinmetall, Kongsberg si, evident, Raytheon. Pe scurt: toata-lumea-care-nu-e-Lockheed-Martin-si-nici-MBDA.

De moartea domnului MEADS s-a tot auzit, adica indelungata suferinta a ofertei Lockheed Martin-MBDA pentru dotarea Germaniei. Concurenta s-a coagulat deci in jurul Raytheon si incearca sa-i convinga pe germani sa-l omoare pe MEADS al lu’ LM si al MBDA, complet, in mod final si irevocabil. Cu tarus in inima cu tot.

Germany should delay its medium- and long-range ground-based air defence (GBAD) effort to focus instead on a full-spectrum solution that includes the more pressing short-range requirement also, Raytheon and Rheinmetall told Jane’s on 27 November.

Speaking to Jane’s at the Berlin Security Conference, industry officials said that, with a contract for the Tactical Air Defence System (Taktische Luftverteidigungssystem: TLVS) designed to counter high-end threats such as ballistic missiles not yet awarded, the Bundeswehr should shift if efforts to acquiring a more rounded GBAD solution that includes the short-range threats of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as mortar and rocket fire.
