At the ongoing show, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Diehl Defence and Hensoldt announced a teaming agreement focused on the modular Spice 250 ER (Extended Range) system.

Building upon previous successful collaborations, the partnership aims to provide cutting-edge solutions for the German Luftwaffe, featuring unique capabilities and enhancements for the Eurofighter EK and overall LuWES program. The Eurofighter EK program, currently under development, is intended to replace the Tornado Eloka electronic warfare (EW) platforms in operation with the German Luftwaffe. Offering the SPICE 250 ER solution, Diehl Defence is getting one step closer to becoming the German Luftwaffe’s prime contractor for airborne ammunition.

This collaboration follows prior agreements between Rafael and Diehl Defence on the Spice Family of munitions. Additionally, Rafael’s agreement with Hensoldt in the Elecronic Warfare domain, including the Sky Shield/Kalaetron Wideband Electronic Attack and Escort Jamming Pod, further strengthens the expertise and synergy between the parties The three parties together cover all necessary expertise to answer current and future demands in regard to stand-off and EW capabilities.

The Spice 250 ER system, derived from the combat-proven Spice Family of highly automated Human-in-the-loop air-to-surface systems, serves as the foundation for the collaboration. The Spice 250 ER employs a turbojet engine, enabling it to operate at extended stand-off ranges. With its modularity Spice 250 ER allows for carrying enhanced payloads by replacing the traditional warhead. It now provides Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) capabilities. The Spice 250 ER also incorporates standardized electrical and physical interfaces found across the Spice family, optimizing platform integration and reducing the life cycle cost.
