MBDA | Modernising TAURUS Missiles for the Bundeswehr
Defence Redefined
Published on 22/12/2024 at 17:09
The Bundeswehr and TAURUS Systems GmbH (a joint venture between MBDA and SAAB) have signed a contract for the maintenance and modernisation of the TAURUS stand-off weapon system.
As announced, the measures will ensure the weapon’s operational readiness until at least 2045.
A central component of the contract is the comprehensive modernisation of TAURUS cruise missiles used by German armed forces. In addition to maintenance, the system will receive technological upgrades to meet the increasing demands placed on modern weapon systems.
TAURUS is a key element of the German Air Force and NATO. The air-to-surface missile enables the German Air Force to overcome enemy air defence systems from a safe distance, minimising the risks to pilots and platforms.
With a range of over 500 kilometres and high precision, TAURUS makes an important contribution to deterrence and to national and allied defence.
