8. MEADS-based TLVS
TLVS 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 missile
provides mission and cost effective effector mix
• Advanced sensor mix consisting of long range
surveillance 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

10. MEADS-based TLVS
Conclusion
• 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 within
first half of year 2015
• Remaining scope comprises functional

MEADS-based TLVS – Future Air and Missile Defense for Germany and Potential Partners
• Remaining scope comprises functional
completion, 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
