The Federal Armed Forces Procurement Office BAAINBw has commissioned Thales Germany to conduct a technical study on the integration of the RAM Block 2B ship-to-air missile into the Command and Weapons Deployment System (FüWES) of the F124 class frigates. The BAAINBw announced the conclusion of the contract on April 6th on the European tendering platform Ted – tenders electronic daily. According to this, the “rough expenses, cost drivers, risks and technical relationships of the RAM Block 2B integration that follows after the study has been completed” are to be worked out and described.
Der Auftrag sei im Verhandlungsverfahren ohne Auftragsbekanntmachung vergeben worden, schreibt das BAAINBw, weil aufgrund des Schutzes von Ausschließlichkeitsrechten nur die ARGE SysPÄ CDS F124, vertreten durch Thales Deutschland, die Leistung erbringen könne. Die ARGE besteht aus den drei gleichberechtigten Partnern Thales Deutschland, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH und T-Systems.
At the end of October 2022, Germany ordered the procurement of 600 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Block 2B ship-to-air missiles for the frigates via US government agencies from RAM-System GmbH (ESuTreported). The missiles are scheduled for delivery between 2024 and 2029.
