>Germany is developing a mobile air interception system by combining IRIS-T missiles and UAVs
>Diehl Defense and POLARIS Raumflugzeuge have announced plans for the Airborne Launching and Attack System (AirLAS). It will combine the time-proven IRIS-T missile with an unmanned airborne carrier. The first test is scheduled for late 2025.
>IRIS-T is a highly maneuverable short-range air-to-air missile with an infrared homing head and thrust vector, and the maximum launch range starts at 25 km and depends on the missile's modification. It is on readers' radar because of the frequent use of IRIS-T/SLM anti-aircraft missile systems by Ukrainian airdroppers.
>Bremen-based aerospace startup POLARIS, specializing in reusable spacecraft and hypersonic technologies, will develop a lightweight reusable unmanned carrier.
>Among the advantages of AirLAS is the possibility of deployment from ground vehicles, ships, helicopters.
> Western air-to-air missiles have already been successfully integrated on various equipment, including MBECs and Soviet SAMs. The next logical step is for the enemy to use long-range UAVs with air-to-air missiles. This will pose a threat not only to the Russian Air and Space Forces, but also to civil aviation if the qualitative and quantitative growth of mobile firing groups is not promptly ensured.
so what will it cost?
