RAMSYS Displayed RAM Block II Missile at IDEF 2025: ADA Class Corvettes Being Upgraded with RAM Block II G/M

Date: Issue 142 - December 2025

RAM-System GmbH (RAMSYS), the joint venture responsible for program management and marketing of the RAM (Rolling Airframe Missile) naval self-defence missile system in Europe, showcased the RIM-116C RAM Block II Missile at the 17th edition of the International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF 2025). In partnership with Raytheon Missile Systems (RMS), RAMSYS jointly handles the development, production, system improvements, logistics, and global marketing and sales of the RAM ship self-defence weapon system.

A RAMSYS official told Defence Turkey Magazine that the company had completed the delivery of any number of RIM-116C RAM Block II Missiles for the Turkish Naval Forces (TNF) in April 2025. To utilize the missiles’ full potential, RAMSYS plans to carry out a software upgrade on the ADA Class Corvettes. When asked whether the upgrade had begun, the official stated (as of July 24, 2025) that it had not. “We just need to arrange the timing with the fleet, so the ships are available. We will send out a team and complete the upgrade. We had discussions yesterday with the ordnance procurement agency, and a few administrative matters remain. But from my perspective, this should be resolved by the end of August. Then we can perform the upgrade, and the ADA Classes will be state-of-the-art,” the official said.
