据悉，到2025年，这种新武器系统将取代联邦国防军目前使用的美国雷神公司制造的“爱国者”防空系统。

国防部于6月8日晚将这一消息告知了联邦政府的防务专家。这或许将成为联邦国防军今后几年耗资最大的武器更新项目，同时也是国防部长乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩推动的首个大型军备项目。这位基民盟女政治家将改革军备领域作为其任期内的核心目标。美国雷神公司也曾参与竞标。

欧洲导弹集团德国分公司、意大利分公司和美国洛克希德－马丁公司参与了MEADS系统的研制。目前研发投入约为40亿欧元，德国承担了其中的10亿欧元。预计后续研制还需要30亿到40亿欧元。这套新系统可防御来袭的军机和导弹。

每套系统包括战斗平台、全向雷达和导弹发射台。目前还不清楚联邦国防军将采购多少套MEADS系统。据说国防部有意购买8套到10套。

Selection Makes Germany the First Country to Benefit from MEADS Development

ORLANDO, Fla., June 9, 2015 – The German Federal Ministry of Defence has chosen the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) as the basis for TLVS, a next-generation network-based tactical air and missile defense system. It will replace Patriot air defense systems initially fielded in the 1980s.

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) will share in development of Germany’s Taktisches Luftverteidigungssystem (TVLS) with its MEADS International partner MBDA Deutschland.

“Lockheed Martin is fully committed to the success of TLVS. It reflects our continuing commitment to international partnerships and ongoing support for the German government’s leadership role in European missile defense,” said Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control President Rick Edwards.

MEADS has been developed through MEADS International, a cooperative venture between MBDA and Lockheed Martin. The TLVS program ensures seamless continuation of this successful development partnership. Lockheed Martin companies in Dallas, Texas; Huntsville, Alabama; Orlando, Florida; and Syracuse, New York are expected to support the German program.

“With this decision in favour of MEADS, Germany has opted for a powerful, state-of-the-art, long term ground-based air and missile defence system sufficient to meet the threats both of today and of the future,” said Thomas Homberg, Managing Director of MBDA Deutschland. “It is now our shared responsibility, together with the armed forces, to provide a solid basis for the introduction of the system.”

In 2013 at White Sands Missile Range, MEADS became the first air and missile defense (AMD) system to demonstrate a dual intercept of targets attacking simultaneously from opposite directions. MEADS is designed to significantly reduce operation and support costs by covering a larger area with less manpower and equipment, and less demand on airlift. Once in theater, MEADS elements emplace more quickly and can be repositioned without shutting the system down.

“We are honored that MEADS will provide the foundation for Germany’s next-generation AMD system,” said Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control Vice President of Air and Missile Defense Programs Mike Trotsky. “Only MEADS has demonstrated the advanced network capabilities and 360-degree defense that are now essential requirements for air and missile defense systems.”

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 112,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation’s net sales for 2014 were $45.6 billion.
