Saab president and CEO Micael Johansson said: “We are proud to continue to support the German Navy with additional RBS15 systems. This framework agreement is an important milestone in our long-standing cooperation with Diehl Defence and our relationship with Germany.

“We look forward to continue building our partnership and supporting the German Navy’s capability with our state-of-the-art anti-ship missile systems.” 

Diehl Defence Corporate Division Board CEO and president Helmut Rauch added: “The new contract award is a sign of confidence from the German Navy and government authorities toward Diehl Defence and its strategic cooperation with Saab in the field of modern weapon systems destined for the navy.” 

RBS15 offers long-range all-weather anti-ship and sea denial capability to the naval operators and can be deployed on multiple platforms. It is currently in use with armed forces of many nations.

In 2018, Saab introduced its new RBS15 Gungnir anti-ship missile system at the Farnborough International Airshow 2018 in the UK.
