The procurement mirrors the “effector-visor configuration” previously ordered by Germany in 2020, featuring the advanced Hensoldt Dynahawk fire control sight. This order follows the initiation of full-scale production at the end of 2023 to fulfill a German order valued at EUR 76 million for 850 missiles, with an option to increase up to 3,087 missiles, slated for delivery by the end of 2024.

According to MBDA, the Enforcer system is designed to offer precision effects with low collateral damage against various targets, including lightly armored, stationary, and moving targets, even in urban settings. Its effective range exceeds 2,000 meters, meeting to the German military’s need for a lightweight, precision-guided munitions system capable of day and night operations.

This system, under contract since December 2019, is part of a broader initiative to enhance the German Army’s capabilities, complementing the existing Wirkmittel 90 system. The Enforcer’s modular design paves the way for future adaptations, including a potential range of munitions for different military applications.
