Elbit Systems and Diehl Defence have signed a strategic partnership agreement during ILA Berlin 2026

ASIM, Jun 11

The cooperation focuses on offering the SkyStriker loitering munition system to the German Armed Forces, with plans for local production and support activities in Germany.

The partnership combines Elbit Systems’ operational experience in autonomous loitering munitions with Diehl Defence’s strong industrial and integration capabilities. Together, the companies aim to support Germany’s defense modernization efforts and strengthen sovereign capabilities through a mature, field‑proven solution that can be deployed across land, air, and naval platforms.

The SkyStriker can be launched from a wide range of systems including land‑based vehicles, the EuroPULS rocket launcher, naval vessels, containers, and aircraft, providing operational flexibility across all domains.
