Germany to purchase 600 RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile Block 2B

According to information published by the German MoD on September 22, 2022, the Budget Committee of the German Bundestag approved the procurement of 600 RAMRolling Airframe Missile Block 2B. The weapon system is a further development of the RAMRolling Airframe Missile guided missiles already used by the Navy. [...]

The German Navy already uses the RAMRolling Airframe Missile Block 1A and RAMRolling Airframe Missile Block 2 guided missiles on all K130 frigates and corvettes for self-protection in air defense. Possible targets include enemy-guided missiles, aircraft or helicopters attacking a German ship.

In RAMRolling Airframe Missile Block 2B, among other things, the infrared seeker has been further developed and data can now be exchanged between the missiles in a salvo (missile-to-missile link). The Class 126 frigates (formerly designated multi-purpose combat ship MKS180) are also to be equipped with RAMRolling Airframe Missile in the future. The RAMRolling Airframe Missile project is based on an equal cooperation between Germany and the United States that has existed since 1976.

The 600 missiles will be delivered between 2024 and 2029. The contract is worth 560.9 million euros.
