Six European countries joined forces.
Six European countries have joined forces to develop a new cruise missile with a range of 500 kilometers as part of an initiative to develop long-range conventional weapons.
According to Hartpunkt.
Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Poland and Sweden have signed an agreement to jointly develop and produce missiles as part of the ELSA initiative to develop long-range conventional weapons.
The OWE 500+ project: production sharing and scaling
According to the source, the project is known in professional circles as One Way Effector 500 Plus (OWE 500+).
Missile production will be distributed among the participating countries to accelerate scaling and increase resilience to individual plant failures.
Features and cost effectiveness
The OWE 500+ systems will be able to deliver payloads weighing about 50 kg up to a distance of 500 km. The design includes the use of conventional 155mm artillery shells as warheads, which will reduce production costs.
Intelligent Kill Vehicles and Multiple Use
The missiles are designed as intelligent systems capable of reaching targets without manual control.
The operator will be able to employ multiple weapons simultaneously to increase combat effectiveness.
Application and Strategic Significance
The price per missile is expected to be in the five-digit range, and Germany plans to use them in ground forces.
The joint development underscores Europe's desire for strategic autonomy and enhanced defense capabilities at minimal cost.
Technology Integration and Production Coordination
The OWE 500+ project will be an important step toward technology integration and production coordination among NATO countries in the field of precision weapons, strengthening Europe's defense infrastructure.
