Diehl Defence

O'zapft is! Over 400 employees made this year's #Oktoberfest party at the #DiehlDefence site in Nonnweiler a memorable evening.   After the official opening by CEO Helmut Rauch, CPO Dr. Harald Buschek and CTO Dr. Nicolai Künzner as well as a warm welcome from site director Ralf Schlaak and works council chairman Marco Ludwig, the first highlight was already waiting: a varied Bavarian food buffet with pork knuckles, cheese spaetzle and delicious finger food - there was something for every taste.   The evening was accompanied by the company's own band "Die Fencler" from Überlingen, who delighted the audience with a mixture of traditional and modern classics. Later that night a DJ took over and made sure everybody had a great time on the dance floor.   A big thank you to the organizing #team and everyone who made this Wies'n party an unforgettable evening.

In September, the continuation of the framework agreement between Critical Software (CSW) and #DiehlDefence, which has been in place for several years, was agreed for further close cooperation in software development at the CSW headquarter in Coimbra (Portugal). We had a great time with the colleagues from Critical Software's Vulcan platoon and look forward to the continuing #cooperation.

Last week, #DiehlDefence and TNO the Netherlands signed a framework agreement as a cornerstone for future research #cooperation. The new framework agreement facilitates the legal basis for future cooperation projects. At the same time it will continue and deepen the successful cooperation in the field of research and development. The document was signed by Frans van Gemerden, Division Director Protection, Munitions and Weapons at TNO and Dirk Krogmann, Senior Vice President Future Technologies at Diehl Defence in Röthenbach. In the course of the two-day visit, also the latest research results and potential future cooperation topics were discussed. The Diehl Defence team is looking forward to continuing the promising dialog with TNO in the Netherlands by the end of this year. TNO veilig #defenceindustry

𝗗𝗶𝗲𝗵𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗦-𝗧 𝗦𝗟𝗠 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 The Bulgarian armed forces have procured the IRIS-T SLM ground-based air defence system by #DiehlDefence. With #Bulgaria, the IRIS-T user family has increased to 20 countries, of which 9 nations have IRIS-T air defence solutions in use or opted for them. The procurement of the system not only represents an important milestone for Bulgarian air defence, but also further strengthens the ‘European Sky Shield Initiative’ and thus contributes to a comprehensive air defence for Europe and NATO. With further optional IRIS-T SLM and SLX units, the procurement represents a strategically important and at the same time forward-looking decision by Bulgaria for the international cooperation within #ESSI. The contract was signed today on the premises of the BAAINBw in Koblenz. Already last Thursday, Diehl Defence CEO Helmut Rauch met the Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, Minister of Defence Atanas Zapryanov and the German Ambassador to Bulgaria, Irene Maria Plank, to discuss the outstanding cooperation in ESSI and the way forward.   We would like to thank our new Bulgarian customer for the very constructive and fast process, as well as BAAINBw and the German Federal Ministry of Defence for the excellent support throughout the entire ESSI procurement process. #airdefence #irist Bundeswehr Wir.

#DiehlDefence in Down Under   Three days at ‘#LandForces International Land Defence Exposition 2024’ in Melbourne had numerous highlights: We enjoyed great interest in our VULCANO guided ammunition for the Army and Navy as well as in the anti-tank loitering munition LIBELLE. We were also pleased to present further products from our product portfolio such as IRIS-T SLM GBAD, HPEM StreetRaptor and the Unmanned Ground Vehicle UGV Ziesel.   In addition, JUNGHANS Defence, which shared the stand with us, presented its fuze portfolio to various customers from the APAC region.   We would like to thank the many visitors from armed forces, politics, industry and procurement agencies for their interest and the open exchange during LandForces 2024 in #Melbourne, Victoria.    #defenceindustry #tradefair

Further growth at #DiehlDefence! The demand for Diehl Defence’s high-tech products has risen rapidly, particularly in the field of ground-based air defence (#GBAD) systems, guided missiles and ammunition. In order to meet the strong growth in national and international customer demand, Diehl Defence is substantially extending its #infrastructure at all locations with enormous investments. Time is a decisive factor, therefore the construction measures at our locations are moving forward quickly: A new multi-story car park with over 600 parking spaces for our employees at the Diehl Defence site in Röthenbach has already been completed. Further buildings for product development, #production and administration for our #missile family and ammunition are almost finished or currently under construction. The new GBAD integration and test center is also progressing rapidly and will increase our production of IRIS-T SLM systems to 10 GBAD systems per year. That’s how Diehl Defence will meet the high demand for the state-of-the-art ground-based air defence system IRIS-T SLM and make sure that deliveries to the German Bundeswehr and international customers are done in a timely manner. In February 2024, we celebrated the laying of the foundation stone for the new production and office building of Diehl Energy Products GmbH (DEP). A lot has happened since then: The new building will be available in 2025 with over 7,000 square meters of space for development, production and logistics, as well as 3,700 square meters for offices and break areas. It will provide space for all DEP employees and enable a significant increase in the production of battery technologies for guided missiles and other Diehl Defence systems as well as battery packs for civil applications. #irist #airdefence
