    Bundeswehr Harriers

    In the late 60s the Germans were looking for a replacement for its ground attack Fiat G 91s. As an offset against costs for BAOR and RAF Germany the UK succeeds in selling Harriers to the Bundeswehr and getting Dornier involved in its production and a joint trainer which becomes the Hawk. HS and...

    France-Germany-Spain Future Combat Air System (FCAS / SCAF / FSAC)

    Hi, As this project (for the replacement of the French Rafale and the German Eurofighter) is different of the Airbus project to replace the German Tornado and the Spanish F-18, I open a new topic :) Well, as the time to replace Rafale and EF is not for tomorrow, this topic may last for...

    Taktisches Luft-Verteidigungs-System (Tactical Air Defense System) [TLVS] 1980s

    The primary contractors on this late 1980s program were MBB, AEG and Siemens. Unfortunately it fell prey to the post-Cold War peace dividend, being cancelled in favour of what originally had been a stopgap program as far as Germany was concerned, the US led Advanced Tactical PATRIOT, later to...

    Re-arming the Bundeswehr: Which Projects?

    Just a thought that occurred. The German Armed Forces have been massively downsized since the end of the Cold War. Assuming a decision were taken to re-arm to meet current threats what projects would be back on the table? Or what stuff would you like to see?

    IFV Marder 1A3 Mod - Systronic Demonstrator

    Seen today on the open house of the German Ministry for Defense, the Marder 1A3 Mod is used as the so-called "Systronic Demonstrator". Basically the same vehicle as the Marder 1A3, it is fitted with a drive-by-wire system, usable from three stations inside, a remotely controlled weapons turret...

    German 1983 Light Weight Fighter in a 2010 Cassidian presentation

    Found a single engine delta wing fighter in a presentation by Cassidian. http://www.aeroafrica-eu.org/download/present_09_dec2010.pdf Could it be Dornier's new light fighter design for India in 1984? The missiles look like the French Magic 2 used by the Indian air force.

    Challenger 3

    At present it looks unlikely if the Army will need a Challenger 2 replacement for the foreseeable future. I got into hot water for suggesting that when and if we ever did, we should take a leaf out of the Australian or Canadian book and buy off the shelf. What options are out there? What would...

    Wegmann Tank Projects

    While searching patents for French tanks, found this German tank design put forth by Wegmann. I've attached the tank image from the patent as well as the patent itself. Did Wegmann ever build it or did it remain a patent design only?
