EADS, UNTERSCHLEISSHEIM, Germany: TAURUS Systems GmbH (TSG) received the contract for series production of the Taurus missiles destined for the Spanish Armed Forces. The order has come from SENER, the Spanish company which in its capacity as prime contractor concluded the procurement contract with the Spanish Air Force in mid-September.  
 
The procurement contract covers 43 operational missiles, including mission planning and support to A/C integration. These air-to-ground missile systems are planned as armament for the Spanish F-18 and Eurofighter aircraft. The contract award was based on the decision taken by the Spanish Council of Ministers in June 2005 to procure Taurus KEPD 350 for the Spanish Air Force.  
 
“The contract for the Spanish Air Force is of extreme economic and strategic importance for the Taurus programme and the guided missiles industry,” said Stefan Zoller, CEO of the EADS Defence & Security Systems Division. “With its deployment on the Spanish F-18 and Eurofighter Typhoon, Taurus is establishing itself as a successful product in the market for modern standoff weapons.”  
 
“Being the first export customer, Spain is of enormous strategic importance to us because through the integration of Taurus KEPD 350 onto the Spanish F-18s chances open up for us to export the system to further user nations such as Finland and Canada. Furthermore, Spain will thus become Germany's partner in the task of integrating Taurus KEPD 350 onto Eurofighter,” added Werner Kaltenegger, Head of the EADS/LFK Business Unit and Managing Director of LFK-Lenkflugk
