#InFocus Drone Defence | Counter-UAS The increased use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), known as drones, has fundamentally changed the nature of conflicts. This development poses new challenges for both military and civilian security structures. In Ukraine and around the world, adversaries are using drones not only for surveillance, but also as weapons, which demonstrates the need for innovative defence technologies. Drones present a cost-effective possibility for attacks on critical infrastructure and can saturate air defence systems through swarm deployment. They also pose a threat in the civilian sector through the massive disruption of air traffic, as we could see at different European airports recently. The drastically intensified threat situation requires effective drone defence solutions to ensure the safety of soldiers and civilians. Technological progress in this area is essential to meet the challenges of modern conflicts. Over the next two weeks, we will be taking a closer look at this important topic and will present Diehl Defence’s efficient solutions for combating drones. Stay tuned for exciting insights into the future of security technologies! #DiehlDefence #DroneDefece #CUAS #AirDefence #Security

🔔 Diehl Defence becomes sole shareholder of AIM Infrarot-Module GmbH Diehl Defence becomes sole shareholder of AIM Infrarot-Module GmbH, a specialist for infrared detectors, thermal imaging devices and Stirling cooling machines for industry, various space applications and the military market. Diehl Defence already held a 50 percent stake in AIM and is acquiring the remaining 50 percent from the second shareholder Rheinmetall, subject to approval by the antitrust authorities.   Diehl Defence intends to continue AIM as a wholly-owned subsidiary with its established name in its organization and to continue investing in the Heilbronn location.   The complete takeover of AIM strengthens Diehl Defence because both the production ramp-up of series products and new developments can be better accelerated in the current growth phase. For AIM, the change in the shareholder structure means securing the necessary growth. #DiehlDefence #AIM #DefenceIndustry #Security #Heilbronn

Diehl Defence CEO Helmut Rauch was part of the panel discussion "Procurement" at this year's Berlin Security Conference. During the debate he reflected on the evolving dynamics of the defence ecosystem over the past three decades and on present conditions of defence procurement from an industrial point of view. He pointed out that there have been positive changes over the last few years with respect to specifications and processes. Historically, he highlighted IRIS-T as successful example of international cooperation, where six European countries collaborated to develop a short-range air-to-air missile together. And the IRIS-T success story still continues... Once again, Berlin Security Conference has been an important platform for the exchange between politics, the military and the defence industry. The Diehl Defence team would like to thank all participants for the numerous discussions and is already looking forward to next year! #DiehlDefence #BSC25 #BelinSecurityConference #Security #DefenceIndustry
