# Switzerland Delays Missile Defense Procurement

Switzerland’s second long-range surface-to-air missile defense procurement, known internally as Bodluv GR2, has moved beyond its original end-of-year schedule after parliament did not agree to urgent consideration. Armasuisse has completed its evaluation and received firm bids from manufacturers in France, Israel, and South Korea, but the Federal Council has not selected a system or announced next steps. CHF 6 billion has been earmarked for the system and at least part of additional Patriot costs, with funding tied to the army’s supplementary budget.

- The procurement remains unresolved: there is no selected system or updated decision timetable, so bidders and suppliers should account for schedule uncertainty in their planning.
- The CHF 6 billion allocation covers more than the new system alone, including at least part of additional Patriot costs; procurement stakeholders should distinguish these funding needs when assessing the program.
- Armasuisse has completed its evaluation and received firm offers, but the parliamentary delay means the competition has not yet produced an award.
