Jetzt ist er also losgefahren, der Indopazifik-Verband der Marine. Viel ist darüber zu lesen, über die beiden Schiffe, die Besatzungen, über die miltärpolitische Bedeutung der Reise und die sicherheitspolitischen Zusammenhänge im südostasiatischen Raum. Einmal rund um den ganzen Erdball! Aber bevor der Verband den Pazifischen und sehr viel später den Indischen Ozean erreicht, steuerte er erst einmal drei Wochen mit Kurs West durch den Atlantischen Ozean.

Ships in the shade

Ships in the shade

We reported on the new Class 707 naval fuel supply vessels, which have now been laid down. However, the ways in which tankers were procured were not always so ideal. The ancient shipbuilding tradition of hammering a coin into the keel of a ship is said to have existed thousands of years ago, as coins have been found under old ship masts during excavations. This is said to bring good sailing and good luck to the ship and crew at all times. The navy has not been waiting quite as long - but quite a while - for a replacement for the outdated Rhön-class fuel supply vessels. These single-hull tankers are still doing their duty thanks to professional crews, but...

High-precision weapon of the future

High-precision weapon of the future

Testing of the laser weapon demonstrator on the frigate SACHSEN was recently completed. Insight into the future of maritime defence technology. In a constantly changing threat landscape, the further development of defence technologies is essential. This also applies to new types of high-energy laser weapons, as they offer great potential for future applications. Until now, powerful lasers have only been tested in Germany under laboratory-like conditions. The "high-precision and scalable effect of a laser weapon system against agile/low-signature targets in the near and close range of floating naval system carriers" (HoWiSM) has now been demonstrated for the first time in a sea-based laser weapon demonstrator on the frigate SACHSEN as part of the project of the same name.

Die Bundeswehr wird also kriegstüchtig. Angesagt ist die konsequente Fokussierung auf die Landes- und Bündnisverteidigung im gesamtstaatlichen Kontext. Harte Ruderlage, darf man da wohl mal sagen. Dieses Mal ist unabdingbar, dass die breite Öffentlichkeit mitträgt, was sich in den Streitkräften verändert. Kommunikation ist von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung – im Kontext von Veränderungsmanagement gilt sie als zentraler Erfolgsfaktor. Zugang marineforum digital+ Sie sind bereits registrierter Nutzer?

The German naval battalion has been working closely with the Royal Dutch Corps Mariniers for many years. Both sides have benefited from this. German-Dutch naval cooperation has its roots in the early realisation of the growing "responsibility of European alliance members to jointly formulate their special interests [vis-à-vis the USA]" and to counter the "gap between rising defence costs and budgetary constraints" through military cooperation. This was the rationale of the 1970 White Paper and it seems more relevant today than ever. Historically, the two countries have similar interests and challenges in terms of their maritime security and defence. For many years, cooperation between the two...
