A special force multiplier system ..that is why Egypt is getting it..
German Medium Range Air Defense System
IRIS-T SLM
The latest systems joining the Egyptian Air Defense Forces with 7 systems (a battery can have up to 4 launchers)
The missile is launched with a vertical launch system, with special containers (
VLS) not exceeding 6 meters, for launch, transport and storage
Launch Transport and Storage Container (LTSC). The launch is carried on a Wheeled or tracked vehicle to operate in the desert environment, each vehicle has 8 compact launchers on two quad-packs, and this compact design gives the ease of shipping vehicles by sea or by air on C-130 transport aircraft.
The missile features a
Thrust Vectoring engine that gives it the ability to engage in a 360-degree angle, as well as high maneuverability (90 degree angle). It can maneuver up to 60 G at 60 degrees per second, making it more difficult to avoid the missile.
The missile relies on radar guidance in most of its trajectory. In addition to having a satellite navigation system and an Inertial navigating system (GPS / INS) used to adjust the path and adjust the coordinates, The missile also includes an IR thermal search capability for the final guidance stage.
The missile with its final infrared guidance stage in addition to inertial navigation gives it the ability to deect and track the target without the need for a radar tracking system, ie, the missile can only obtain the radar survey data to determine the location of the aerial target and then close it in the final phase of the thermal search; the so-called closure on the target after the launch or Lock-on after launch (
LOAL), and gives the advantage of the possibility of launching and directing each missile on its own and hit several different targets at the same time
The maximum range of the missile is 40 km with a ceiling up to 20 km above sea level. It can reach Mach 3 (1030 m / s), with the shortest range of the missile Dead Zone of less than 1 km. Which shows that the speed of response is very high, and that the missile has the ability to resist high electronic and thermal interference.
It is capable of handling various air targets ranging from fighter jets, helicopters, drones, aerial munitions, mobile rockets and anti-radiation missiles.
The IRIS-T SLM missile system works with many radar scanning and tracking systems such as:
The
Giraffe AMB from SAAB which is a three-dimensional passive radar, with a range of 120 km
In addition to the TRML-3D passive German radar with a range of 200 km, a maximum height of 20 km, and can handle 400 targets at a time
In addition to the French radar GM200, a 3D radar with an electronic survey matrix, with a maximum range of 250 km for the pattern of aerial survey, and 100 km for the pattern of engagement, and a maximum height of 24 km
In addition to the Australian radar CEAFAR wild version GBMMR, which has an active electronic survey matrix AESA, and can monitor more than 500 targets together and a range of 200 km and a height of 30 km.

This system might be specifically bought for the Egyptian Rapid Deployment forces..
