German firms Diehl Defence and POLARIS are collaborating on a next-generation aerial strike solution called the Airborne Launching and Attack System (AirLAS). The concept integrates Diehl’s IRIS-T missile with an unmanned drone carrier built by POLARIS.
The system aims to deliver a cost-effective alternative for air-launched precision strikes by eliminating the dependence on manned platforms, thus enhancing operational flexibility and safety.
