Hensoldt to equip German transport aircraft with missile defence system
The German Bundeswehr will equip its three new Lockheed Martin C-130J-30 airlifters and three KC-130J tanker-transports with Hensoldt’s MILDS Block 2 missile defence system, Hensoldt announced on 11 March.
Hensoldt will supply 35 MILDS Block 2 systems in total – five per aircraft and five for laboratory use – to Danish-based Terma A/S, who are managing the integration of the systems, the announcement stated.
20 MILDS Block 2 sensors have already been supplied, with the remaining 15 expected to be delivered by January 2023, Hensoldt detailed.
The contract, signed in 2020, totals EUR2.9 million (USD3.2 million), Hensoldt announced.
