Living in a Safe Environment Living in a safe environment Technology for peace and freedom We long for peace and security. Armed forces are deployed worldwide to prevent con- flicts, to overcome crises, to combat terrorism and to support humanitarian missions. They act on behalf of governments and the international community. Sol- diers protect people and institutions, ward off attacks, and must assert themselves in global hot spots. Their missions are dangerous, their training and equipment are crucial for survival and success in operations. 2 Berlin’s Brandenburg gate is a symbol of German Unity.

  • Press Release
    Press Release 9 October 2012 PARS 3 LR FOR GERMAN TIGER HELICOPTER PASSES INTO FULL SCALE PRODUCTION PARS 3 LR, the main armament for the German Army’s Tiger helicopter, passes into full scale production. This follows the successful completion of the system’s validation programme for the German customer, an event marked by a direct hit against an intended target during a test firing carried out at the Meppen test range (located in Lower Saxony, NW Germany) on 20 September 2012. The target was provided by a tank moving in between houses. In the final firing, the PARS 3 LR missile struck the target with exceptional precision in a demanding urban combat scenario at a range of approximately 3 km. All test firings were carried out from a German Tiger helicopter. The tests confirm that PARS 3 LR completely fulfils the specified system performance requirements under operational conditions. After formal clearance by the BAAINBw (Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support), PARS 3 LR is now ready to go into full-scale series production for the German Army’s Tiger helicopter. “The successful conclusion of the firing campaign sends a strong signal to our national customers and potential export customers”, declared Thomas Homberg, Managing Director of MBDA Germany. This guided missile system will make an important contribution to the Bundeswehr, enabling it to fulfil the demanding missions it is expected to perform even better in the future”. “We have impressively demonstrated the exceptional capabilities and high precision of the PARS 3 LR.

But the EU Cannot Defend Europe While the appearance of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the Berlaymont, the headquar- ters of the EU Commission, in December 2020 was still considered 'historic', such personal meetings between the Head of the Alliance and the EU institutions are now becoming routine. On 26 Febru- ary, Stoltenberg met with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, at the Justus Lipsius building, the seat of the European Council, to attend the video conference of the EU heads of state and government. His par- ticipation was more than opportune, as the regular review of the security and defence policy agenda since 2012 was being discussed. Charles Michel began by emphasising that the EU wanted to "act more strategically" and increase its "capacity to act autonomously". At the same time, he said that it wanted to further deepen partnerships, precisely by reviving the dialogue with the Biden administra- tion in Washington on security and defence issues.
