Technical Capacity and Field Balances
Conclusion and Future Perspective
As the weight of unmanned and autonomous systems in the defense industry increases day by day, Q-Strike, the product of the partnership between Diehl Defense and Flanq, is preparing to break the mold in the surface-based air defense concept. Although the full serial production and delivery schedule have not yet been finalized, it is certain that such multi-role autonomous platforms will play a key role in future naval doctrines. Especially the ability to control high-risk zones without risking human lives in maritime patrol missions makes Q-Strike an attractive option in the global maritime market.
