Development unique underwater anti-aircraft missile IDAS against Russian helicopters will take 30 years, but it will be worth it. Reports Defence Express
This innovative system allows submarines to hit air targets, such as Russian anti-submarine helicopters, from an underwater position.
It is expected that the qualification and refinement of the system will be completed by the end of 2029. Given that the development of IDAS started in the early 2000s, the total period of its creation will exceed 30 years.
The project is being developed jointly by the companies ktMS and Diehl Defence, with the participation of the Norwegian Kongsberg and Nammo, as well as Turkish Roketsan. The IDAS missile is a deep modification of the IRIS-T.
The IDAS missile is designed to destroy low-altitude, slow targets, such as anti-submarine helicopters, at a distance of up to 15 km. It is also capable of attacking ground and sea targets. Main technical characteristics:
IDAS will become a kind of “weapon of last resort” for submarines, especially in shallow water, when there is no way to retreat to depth or avoid detection by the enemy. Its versatility and the ability to be launched from any submarine without structural changes make this system extremely valuable to the German Navy.
