Diehl & Saab Complete Operational Test of RBS15 Mk3 Missile with German Navy K130 Corvette
 
The German-Swedish anti-ship missile RBS15 Mk3 completed its operational test successfully thereby achieving qualification. Operational capability was proved with the German Navy's Braunschweig class (K-130) corvette “Magdeburg” at a test site in Swedish territorial waters at the end of April. The operational test comprises the entire performance record ranging from target assignment, mission planning to missile launch and striking the target.

Diehl Defence supplies the anti-ship missile RBS15 Mk3 as main armament of the German Navy´s new K130 corvettes. The missile is a result of Diehl´s and Saab´s joint refinement of the Mark 2 version which has proved its worth with the Swedish and other navies. RBS15 Mk3 can not only engage naval targets, but is also capable of precise engagement of land targets. Next to Germany, the Polish and Swedish Navies are among the European customers.

Due to its high maneuverability, the long-range, all-weather capable, fire-and-forget RBS15 Mk3 missile can track targets in low-level flight directly above the water surface and fly around or over islands at distances up to and far beyond 200km. It is extremely resistant to electronic countermeasures and characterized by high robustness against air defence sites employing guided and tube weapons, for instance, by unexpected evasive maneuvers during terminal approach.

The German Navy Braunschweig class corvettes (K130) were designed and built by the Class 130 Consortium led by Blohm + Voss. Five built ships have the primary task of surface surveillance, reconnaissance, surface target engagement, humanitarian missions, countering asymmetric threats and operating mainly in the littorals.
