File:Patriot LS at ILA-2022.jpg | SAM | 11 | During Cold War, Germany had 36 Patriot systems in service.
In April 2023:
The systems in service are upgraded to PAC-3 standard, and it is equipped with PAC-2 and PAC-3 CRI missiles in service. Germany has also PAC-3 MSE and PAC-2 GEM-T missiles on order. Among the systems in service:
In April 2023, Germany announced its intention to remove its support by the end of the year. Some maintenance is required on those systems.[38] The existing PAC2 missiles ave a service life limited to 2030.[39] | |

Future of the air defence of the German military[]
Purchases confirmed[]
| System | Program participants | Image | Origin | Type | Number | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arrow 3 | — | Anti-ballistic missile | Unknown | In negotiation for the purchase of the system.[41]
This purchase would require the approval of the US, which up to now has been reluctant to allow it as 80% of the program was funded by the US. The US might want to sell its competitor, the THAAD air defense system. | ||

File:Patriot LS at ILA-2022.jpg | SAM /Anti-ballistic missile | Unknown | The existing PAC-2 missiles are reaching the end of their service life in 2030. The German Air Force is planning to use the Patriot Air Defense System until 2048.
The new missiles GEM-T will reinforce the capability of the German Air force, and link the range gap between the Arrow 3 and the IRIS-T SLM.[42] | |
| IRIS-T SL
Part of the ESSI |
Error creating thumbnail: | Tactical air defense system | 6 [43] | The PAC-3 MSE missile is expected to be supplemented by IRIS-T SLM as secondary missile for ground-based medium range air defense. It is based on the IRIS-T air-to-air missile[44] equipped with an enlarged rocket motor, datalink, and jettisonable drag-reducing nose cone.[45]
The radar system expected is the Hensoldt TRML-4D, and it should be supported by the Integrated Battle Management Software Fire Control System (IBMS-FS) by Airbus. Six batteries are purchased for €950 million and the delivery will start from 2024,[46] 8 in total are expected eventually. |
Potential future equipment[]
The equipment mentioned here is part of the program NNbS, ("Nah- und Nächstbereichs-schutz"), close air-support for the ground troops. At the moment, no decision has been made regarding the operator of those systems, it could go to the Bundeswehr or the Luftwaffe. In 2010, the German forces decided to retire the last 90 Flakpanzer Gepard. In 2012, the air defense of the Bundeswehr was completely disbanded. The Luftwaffe was to support the German forces with their Wiesel 2 Ozelot, and German soldiers had access to FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS.
This equipment described below is the most likely candidates that have been mentioned by the German military and by the German defence industry. More details can be found on the page "List of modern equipment of the German Army".
