The operational test comprises the entire performance record ranging from target assignment, mission planning to missile launch and striking the target.
Diehl Defence supplies the anti-ship missile RBS15 Mk3 as main armament of the German Navy´s new K130 corvettes.
The RBS15 Mk3 version was jointly developed by German Diehl BGT Defence and Saab Dynamics, based on Saab RBS15 Mk2 which has proved its worth with the Swedish and other navies, and is also capable of precise engagement of land targets.
Next to Germany, the Polish and Swedish Navies are among the European customers.
Due to its high maneuverability, the long-range, all-weather capable, fire-and-forget missile can track targets in low-level flight directly above the water surface and fly around or over islands at distances up to and far beyond 200 km.
It is extremely resistant to electronic countermeasures and characterized by high robustness against air defence sites employing guided and tube weapons, for instance, by unexpected evasive maneuvers during terminal approach.
