Nederland gaat beroep doen op Europees geproduceerde Patriot-raketten

Nieuwsbericht | 03-01-2024 | 14:06

Europa gaat zelf 1.000 Patriot-luchtverdedigingsraketten produceren. Een deel daarvan is bedoeld voor Nederland. De NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) heeft hiervoor een gunning gedaan namens een coalitie van een aantal Europese landen. Dat is vandaag bekendgemaakt.

Naast Nederland doen Duitsland, Roemenië en Spanje mee. Een consortium van de Europese fabrikant MBDA en het Amerikaanse Raytheon is verantwoordelijk voor de productie. Dat gebeurt op de Comlog faciliteit in Zuid-Duitsland. Daar vindt al onderhoud van de Patriot-raketten plaats. Er wordt nu ook een productielijn opgebouwd.

Vraagbundeling levert de landen niet alleen economische voordelen op. Ook kunnen zij zichzelf makkelijker bevoorraden doordat er minder logistiek is. Bovendien blijft de totale voorraad aan Patriot-raketten hiermee op peil.

Minister Kajsa Ollongren: "Deze nieuwe productielijn laat zien dat internationale defensiesamenwerking zorgt voor concrete successen. De komende tijd blijven we, samen met onze Europese partners en de industrie, kijken hoe we de productiecapaciteit kunnen opschalen. Door de oorlog in Oekraïne en de toenemende dreiging en conflicten wereldwijd is dit broodnodig."

Luchtafweersysteem

Met de Patriot-luchtafweersystemen zijn op grote afstand vliegtuigen, helikopters en snelle ballistische en kruisraketten uit te schakelen. De systemen worden nu bijvoorbeeld in Oekraïne ingezet. Ook was een Nederlandse Patriot-eenheid vorig jaar actief in Slowakije. Doel was om hiermee de oostflank van het NAVO-verdragsgebied te beschermen.

Versnelde inkoop

In 2022 maakte Nederland al bekend voor ruim € 2 miljard versneld munitie in te kopen. De Patriot-raketten maken hier onderdeel vanuit. Aanvulling van de munitie is nodig om de eerste hoofdtaak van Defensie uit te kunnen voeren. Dat is de eigen en de bondgenootschappelijke verdediging.

The Netherlands to procure Lockheed Martin PAC-3 MSE

U.S. and Dutch officials recently formalized an agreement for the Netherlands to purchase Lockheed Martin's PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) interceptors and related support equipment. With the signing, the Netherlands becomes the 12th customer of PAC-3 MSE and advances its missile defense technology from the PAC-3 Cost Reduction Initiative (CRI) the country acquired in 2004.

"We're honored to continue to partner with the Netherlands, our first PAC-3 international customer, for their missile defense capabilities," said Brenda Davidson, vice president of PAC-3 Programs at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. "PAC-3 MSE is known around the world for its reliability and performance using Hit-to-Kill technology to ensure our customers remain ready to defend in 21st century warfare."

An evolution of the battle-proven PAC-3 Cost Reduction Initiative (CRI), the PAC-3 MSE boasts a dual-pulse solid rocket motor, providing increased performance in altitude and range to defend against incoming threats, including tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and aircraft.

As the world leader in systems integration and proven Hit-to-Kill technology, Lockheed Martin has fielded and successfully integrated air and missile defense assets in every domain, providing the highest level of integrated fire control across multiple platforms.

SkyCeptor ...  als aanvulling naast de Patriot ?  ook voor NL ?

Israelis Push New Missile For Patriot Launchers: SkyCeptor

Patriot missiles are expensive. Rafael and its US partner Raytheon says they can fire the cheaper Israeli SkyCeptor from existing Patriot launchers. Will that tempt the US Army?

The US Army is studying the Israeli SkyCeptor interceptor as an option for mid-tier air and missile defense, manufacturer Rafael told Breaking Defense.

In Israel, SkyCeptor is fired from the David's Sling system. But Rafael's American partner on SkyCeptor is Raytheon, which makes the famed Patriot missile defense system – and the companies call SkyCeptor a "plug and play" weapon that can fire from existing Patriot launchers. They're planning a demonstration later this year.

"The Americans are seriously looking at our David's Sling air defense system," said Brig. Gen. (res.) Pini Yungman, head of Rafael's air and missile defense systems division, in an interview with Breaking Defense. "

"Together with Raytheon, we offer to integrate the SkyCeptor with the US Army Patriot launchers. We are planning a full demo with Raytheon towards the end of the year,"  Yungman said. "This demo will prove that we have the best protection against advanced threats like cruise missiles and at a price that is much lower than any other potential solution

SkyCeptor, the companies say, is optimized "to defeat short- to medium-range ballistic and cruise missiles and other advanced air defense threats [and] costs a fraction of other hit-to-kill interceptors." That could give US Army Patriot batteries a lower-cost option against threats that don't warrant a full-size, full-cost PAC-2, PAC-3, or PAC-3 MSE missile. Saudi-operated Patriot systems also failed conspicuously to defend Saudi Aramco facilities against a 2019 strike by low-flying cruise missiles and drones, which the Patriots' radars – focused on higher-flying threats – failed to detect until too late.

A leading Israeli expert, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Breaking Defense that SkyCeptor would be a better match for some of the most common threats the US faces: "These include cruise missiles and different types of rockets. The Patriot PAC-3 can be used [against these], but its price is three to four times higher than the David's Sling SkyCeptor interceptor."

David's Sling has also been tested against ballistic missiles, including in a December test off the Israeli coast – launching the interceptors from a Sa'ar missile boat —  that impressed US observers.

The US has already bought two batteries of Rafael's Iron Dome, a lower-tier system originally optimized against unguided rockets but upgraded to take on at least some kinds of cruise missiles. But the US Army bought Iron Dome reluctantly, under pressure from Congress, and its leaders have complained it's difficult to integrate a foreign system – complete with radars, launchers, and command posts as well as interceptors – with US command networks.

The Army would much rather buy individual components, especially interceptors like Iron Dome's Tamir, and integrate them into the Americans' new IBCS network. That's what makes SkyCeptor's plug-and-play design so attractive.

Rafael first offered the SkyCeptor for use on Patriot launchers in its bid for Poland's missile defense system. Poland , Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland are all reportedly looking hard at Rafael air and missile defense systems, particularly SkyCeptor and David's Sling.

Meanwhile, in the US, Rafael and Raytheon are confident enough the US will purchase more missile defense systems – whether full-up batteries of Iron Dome and David's Sling, or interceptors like Tamir and SkyCeptor – that they've formed a joint venture, R2S, and are upgrading a Raytheon factory in Camden to build the Israeli products in the US. (Changes in US aid rules have made it more attractive for Israeli companies to start US subsidiaries and joint ventures). "This facility will be operational within two years," Yungman said.

Vind er trouwens nogal wat van dat het aantal PAC-3 raketten zo publiekelijk wordt gemaakt.
Ik denk dat je daar niet mee moet zitten. De aanschaf van 'kapitale munitie' zal altijd gegeven worden met een getal en het daarbij behorend bedrag teneinde de politiek tevreden te stellen.

Mooi! Ook meer werk voor Fokker?
