The Estonian Center for Defense Investment (ECDI) Estonian Center for Defense Investment, announced today (Tuesday) that it has signed an agreement to develop Estonian coastal defense capabilities under which the Estonian Army will be equipped with Blue Spear (5G SSM) offshore assault missiles.
The subsidiary of IAI and ST Engineering Singapore, Proteus Advanced Systems, was selected to supply the Estonian Army with the advanced systems, following a tender process, which is a key part of the Estonian Army's equipment.
The advanced attack system Blue Spear (5G SSM) is based on the Gabriel missile family. It is a precise weapon system that operates in all weather conditions, day and night, and enables Beyond line of site attack capabilities against mobile and stationary targets at sea.
The transaction was completed under the personal leadership of Levy, who is finishing his first year as CEO of the company. This is a transaction that contributes to the diversification of IAI's export destinations. The Israeli system has won an open competition against key players, including Swedes, Norwegians and Americans. This is a significant collaboration with the Singapore ST that will open additional markets for the aerospace industry.
Launch from multiple platforms
The system enables launch from several land-based platforms, high-speed flight, advanced radar domestication that enables active domestication, precise navigation capabilities that enable maximum precision detection. The system is equipped with a variety of means that ensure meeting the various battlefield challenges.
IAI CEO Boaz Levy: “IAI's strategic and fruitful collaboration with ST Engineering as part of the company's strategic process has spawned a significant breakthrough with Estonia. We are proud to have been selected to supply the Estonian Army with the advanced Blue Spear assault missiles from the Gabriel sea-to-sea missile family. This sale is a direct continuation of a series of recent successes in promoting significant aerospace industry deals in Europe.
"This success would not have been possible without the close professional support and guidance of the Estonian and Israeli Defense Ministries. The synergy with ST Engineering enables the marketing of advanced combat systems in the global market and maximizes the capabilities of the partners. We thank the Estonian Ministry of Defense for the opportunity. "
Asko Kivinuk, Strategic Procurement Manager for Marine Systems in Estonia: "We welcome the process that led to the contracting process in tight schedules, and under stringent procurement requirements. The decision was made based on a number of criteria including overall cost, local industry involvement and delivery time."
Estonian Minister of Defense: "Developing these capabilities will provide opportunities for the Estonian defense industry. This weapon system significantly improves our coastal defense, and sends a clear message that we are part of the regional and collective defense effort. The Minister of Defense added that the new system is one of the most complex "Its absorption is a huge leap forward for the Estonian army. I am happy that the Estonian industry has the ability to take part in such a complex security project."
Estonian Navy Commander Jüri Saska added: "The chosen weapon system will form the basis of Estonian naval defense for decades to come. The Estonian Navy will be able to make a significant contribution to national, regional and collective defense efforts."
