MEADS-based TLVSTLVS Capabilities featured by three programs

• Incorporates all MEADS capabilities, including

360°protection, PAC-3 MSE, and Plug-and-Fight

• Integration of IRIS-T SL as secondary missileprovides mission and cost effective effector mix

• Advanced sensor mix consisting of long rangesurveillance radar, MFCR (A-TBM, A-ABT),

medium range radar (A-ABT)

• Mission-based C4I system software merged from MEADS BMC4I and SAMOC

•



• One single C4I software for all missions on all echelons (i.e. execution level and coordination level)

• Plug-and-Fight capability enables netted-distributed operation with flexible,

dynamically adaptable fire unit configurations

• IP-based tactical communication system for LAN and WAN communication

• Low life-cycle cost due to reduced material and personnel requirement and

advanced maintenance concepts

MEADS-based TLVSConclusion

• MEADS D&D DoC successfully completed � solid basis to enter in low risk follow-on activities achieved

• Integration of IRIS-T SL (secondary missile) and SAMOC Sw

• Expecting German decision withinfirst half of year 2015

• Remaining scope comprises functional

MEADS-based TLVS – Future Air and Missile Defense for Germany and Potential Partners

• Remaining scope comprises functionalcompletion, system integration and test, performance verification, and certification

• The open architecture allows easy integration of further system elements like effectors and sensors

• MEADS-based TLVS is offering opportunities for cooperation starting with current D&D partners
