MBDA subsidiary TDW GmbH has been awarded a contract to produce and deliver 2,600 PARM anti-tank mines to the German Armed Forces. 

According to a relevant announcement, TDW and the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology, and In-Service Support signed the contract on November 14, 2023, marking the beginning of the procurement. 

With the procurement, PARM is in the process of returning to serial production, making it the most available, counter-mobility system on the market, as stated by Thomas Gottschild, Managing Director MBDA Germany.

PARM is a fully automated anti-tank effector that can neutralize modern Main Battle Tanks. Its warhead, fuzing mechanism, and sensor kit meet today’s technical and operational demands. 

A single soldier is able to carry PARM, which requires little training, while it is combat-proven. Through its modular design, PARM can easily integrate different sensors and feature remote control.
