On 27 October 2022, RAMSYS (RAM-System GmbH, Munich) was awarded a procurement contract for 600 state-of-the-art Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Block 2B guided missiles (LFK) for the German Navy. The new LFKs will be delivered to the navy from 2024.
Clever search head
A newly developed infrared seeker and the introduction of a data exchange (missile-to-missile link) between several RAM Block 2Bs in a salvo significantly increase the combat value of the weapon system. Together with the more powerful radar seeker head, the outstanding accuracy of the highly agile RAM LFK against current and future conventional and asymmetric threats is improved, thus strengthening the German Navy's assertiveness.
Who invented it?
The development was carried out by RAMSYS in close cooperation with its parent companies Diehl Defence and MBDA Germany and together with the US partner Raytheon Missile & Defense. RAM Block 2B is now the 6th generation of the LFK system in the US-German government programme, which has been in existence for over 40 years.
