Diehl Defence GmbH & Co. KG is a German weapon manufacturer and a division of the Diehl Stiftung with headquarters in Überlingen. Diehl Defence mainly produces missiles and ammunition.
Diehl BGT Defence was founded in 2004 as a result of the merger of Bodenseewerke Gerätetechnik GmbH and Diehl Munitionssysteme GmbH & Co. KG. In February 2017, Diehl BGT Defence and Diehl Defence Holding were merged into Diehl Defence .[2]
In 1960, Bodenseewerke Gerätetechnik became the prime contractor for the European production of the American Sidewinder AIM-9B air-to-air missile.[citation needed]
Based on the experience with the Sidewinder, Diehl developed a progressive new seeker for a new type of short-range air-to-air missile – the IRIS-T (InfraRed Imaging System)).[citation needed] IRIS-T is currently[when?] being adopted by the German Air Force and other European air forces.[3]
