Missiles & Precision Guided Munition: RWS Technology

Europe’s rearmament amid growing geopolitical tensions is driving demand for precision-guided munitions. Key to this are pyrotechnic components for ignition, separation and control. RWS strategically closes critical supply gaps with sovereign, ITAR-free solutions.

Missiles and Precision-Guided Munitions: Strategic Autonomy Requires Reliable Components
The rise in conflicts and emerging threat scenarios are driving large-scale rearmament in Europe for defence and deterrence purposes. Precision-guided missile systems are at the core of this development – and each one depends on high-performance (micro)pyrotechnic components for safe ignition, controlled stage separation and precise in-flight guidance.

ITAR-free solutions for flight-critical components remain limited in Europe.

Scalable European alternatives are currently lacking for the reliable operation of precision-guided munitions – particularly in the areas of ignition, separation and control. RWS addresses this gap with technologically mature, integration-friendly system solutions.

RWS is tackling these challenges with a clear objective:

Strengthening sovereignty: European missile programmes must no longer rely on imported flight-critical components.
Reducing complexity: Our one-stop-shop approach for ignition, gas generation, actuation and separation offers system integrators a comprehensive solution.
Lowering regulatory barriers: ITAR tracking, audits and export restrictions drive up cost and risk. With our ITAR-free solutions, Europe’s defence industry remains agile and operational.

Missiles are one of the seven key focus areas of the ReArm Europe 2030 plan. RWS actively contributes to building a resilient European defence industry through technological excellence and industrial capacity.
