Excerpts from the \"Preliminary conceptual guidelines for the future capability profile of the Bundeswehr\", which is to be adopted vis-\u00e0-vis NATO by 2032 (F.A.Z. PLUS article \"Up to the stars\" from 18 April<\/a>). It is a non-binding declaration of intent; nonetheless, it leads to - justified - expectations within the Alliance. Among other things, the following can be heard for the navy's contribution (our emphasis): \"Simultaneous provision of at least 15 floating platforms including support units across all \"Maritime Warfare Areas\" (three-dimensional naval warfare) and additionally two maritime reconnaissance aircraft for a Naval Task Force with maximum\/high response capability. ... Capability to fight in the entire intensity spectrum, continuation of the capability for three-dimensional naval warfare with the extension to the use of cyber and space and the restoration of the capability to conduct naval warfare from the air.\"<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a dark day for the naval aviators when the remaining Tornado squadron was transferred to the Luftwaffe with the proviso that the \"naval warfare from the air\" capability was to be maintained. Even then, it was clear that the maritime dimension would not be one of the Luftwaffe's priorities. It is now time to clearly derive the requirement to \"restore the ability to conduct naval warfare from the air\". To avoid awakening any false desires: This is not about bringing a Tornado squadron back into the navy. The train has left the station - also in view of the limited service life of the aircraft type. It is unlikely that a manned combat aircraft will be considered for the required capability. Let's focus more on the sea and land target armament of maritime patrol aircraft and future unmanned systems.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

There are two components to consider with regard to maritime patrol aircraft: Firstly, the capability of the Orion P3; secondly, the question of whether Germany, as the \"MPA lead nation\" in Europe, needs to take the next step. It is obvious that the German Navy's Orion P3 can carry missiles and torpedoes. At this point, the question of future armament arises against the background of the new Northern European industrial constellation in connection with the German-Norwegian submarine co-operation. We are thinking of an industrial quadrangle consisting of Diehl Defence, Atlas Elektronik, Kongsberg and Saab. Atlas is working with Kongsberg on the command and control system for the U212 NG submarines. Berlin has declared that the multi-purpose combat ship MKS 180<\/strong> the next generation of the Norwegian Joint Strike Missile. On the basis of the RSB 15 - mounted on the K 130 corvette - Saab has been commissioned by the Swedish government to develop the next generation of air- and sea-launched JSMs. The industrial partner is Diehl Defence. We have mentioned Atlas Elektronik in this context because the \"aerial torpedo\" weapon must also be taken into account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The argument is that the American Harpoon system must be considered. However, the politically motivated Nordic cooperation described above speaks a different language. Norway and the UK are procuring the next generation MPA: Poseidon P8 from Boeing. As the European lead nation, shouldn't Germany also take the next step? Of course, the European top dog Airbus will offer MPA capability. It also needs to be clarified whether the Orion P3 - properly armed! - should be kept in service until a technologically realistic migration to unmanned armed systems is imminent. As a European leaning power that is arming partners, especially in the Baltic Sea region, Berlin must also make the new\/old capability of naval warfare from the air accessible to its allies. Much remains to be done conceptually!<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
