By Defence Industry Europe, Rheinmetall

Rheinmetall has been awarded a significant contract by the Spanish government to supply 84 units of its 81mm Eimos mortar systems.

 

The EUR 150 million agreement, signed with Rheinmetall’s subsidiary, Rheinmetall Expal Munitions, includes maintenance and training services and is set to deliver the systems between the end of 2024 and 2027, the company said in a press release.

The order reinforces Rheinmetall’s role as a trusted supplier to the Spanish Armed Forces, enhancing its position as a leader in weapons and ammunition technology.

The 81mm Eimos systems will be deployed across the Spanish Army, Navy, and Air Force, serving as platform-based tactical tools.

These mortar systems are part of the ongoing UTEX programme initiated by the Spanish Ministry of Defence in 2017, which aims to test various tactical light vehicles for use with such systems.

The contract will be officially recorded at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024.
