TAURUS Systems GmbH (TSG), a joint venture between MBDA and SAAB, has signed a major contract with the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) to prepare a serial production line for the next-generation TAURUS NEO stand-off guided missile system.
According to the press release, Against this backdrop, MBDA plans to produce large quantities in Germany.
The Bundeswehr is strengthening its deep strike capability with the procurement of TAURUS NEO. This missile enables the German Air Force to overcome enemy air defence systems from a safe distance, minimizing the risks to pilots and platforms. With a range of over 500 kilometres and the highest standards in terms of precision, TAURUS makes an important contribution to deterrence and to national and allied defence.
MBDA has already begun work on developing the new technologies in the framework of the TAURUS maintenance and modernization contract received in December 2024. This enhances the earliest possible availability of the first systems. In addition, the new contract provides further development of new and advanced capabilities, and the expanded production capacity of the TAURUS modular stand-off weapon.
Between 2023 and 2025 MBDA will have doubled the production of new missiles for the group as a whole and will continue to invest EUR 2.4 billion between 2025 and 2029 to ensure the ramp-up of production over the coming years.
