The New Generation guided missile ( LFK NG ) is a new surface-to-air missile that is being developed by MBDA Deutschland GmbH and Diehl BGT Defense for the German armed forces. It will be the standard armament of the new air defense system (SysFla), but can also be fired vertically from launch shafts or horizontally from the Eurocopter Tiger .
The guided missile has a high-resolution infrared viewfinder that can even register targets with low heat emissions (such as other missiles, cruise missiles , UAVs , airplanes and helicopters). The penetrator warhead makes it possible to fight armored targets. A data link enables “lock-on after launch”, i.e. the start without prior target acquisition by the seeker head, B. the fight against helicopters allowed behind cover. Thanks to a double pulse motor , the rocket is still very agile even on the final approach.
