SWP Comment 2005/C 10, 15.03.2005, 4 Pages Research AreasThe still-to-be-developed air-defense system, MEADS, is supposed to replace the adopted Patriot System by 2015. The announced aim is an improvement of Germany's and its armed forces' protection as well as the protection of its allies and their armed forces while abroad.
