# Germany Certifies IRIS-T SLM

Germany completed operational certification of Diehl Defence’s IRIS-T SLM air-defence system after a live-fire test at NATO’s Missile Firing Installation in Crete and integration exercises involving German and Swedish forces and other air-defence systems. The certification adds operational evidence for the system, which Sweden selected for procurement in 2025, but the signal reports no new award, contract value, solicitation, or procurement contact.

- Procurement teams evaluating air-defence capabilities can consider the certification and integration exercises as evidence of operational readiness and interoperability; the signal does not provide detailed test results or requirements.
- Diehl Defence may be positioned for follow-on demand, but the certification itself is not a contract award or a confirmed procurement opportunity.
- Sweden’s 2025 selection is relevant market context for contractors tracking European air-defence procurements; no further contract details are provided.
