Diehl Defence and FLANQ presented a mock-up of the Q-Strike armed uncrewed surface vessel at the Euronaval exhibition in Paris Nord Villepinte, EDR Magazine reported. The two German companies designed the craft specifically for strike missions.
FLANQ provides the vessel hull, autonomy system and mission software, while Diehl Defence supplies weapons and integration work. The vessel uses a modular layout planned to support light armaments for strikes against targets in the air, on land and at sea.
The presentation follows an agreement the companies signed in Überlingen on 23 September 2026. The partners plan to complete an initial demonstrator before the end of the year to support development and procurement bids for the German Navy and international partners.
