Pues con los aviones furtivos yendo por delante, con toda los aviones ISR/EW(AEW en red y pretenden hacerlo a finales de década con toda la constelación de satélites desplegada.
Sin olvidar que hablamos de la Navy a la que le sobran los buques con radares AEGIS de largo alcance. -

- Se firma el desarrollo y producción del IRIS-T Bloque II: https://www.diehl.com/defence/en/press-and-media/news/en-ueberschrift/
At the end of December, the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) and Diehl Defence signed the contract for the development and series production of the IRIS-T Block II Overall Missile System. The contract was realized in the shortest possible time by the IRIS-T Project Management Office (PMO), BAAINBw and Diehl Defence. In addition to Germany as lead nation, Sweden, Spain and Italy also join the development program. The BAAINBw signed the contract on behalf of this consortium. The IRIS-T Block II contract marks an important milestone for the future of IRIS-T.

Despite such laconic reporting, there's actually some extra information about the upgrade disclosed previously, all collected by Defense Express. For starters, in the same December, the Bundestag mentioned it among the 38 defense projects greenlighted with an investment of €21 billion total, including 25 million euros for the works on IRIS-T Block II specifically. This relatively small amount of funds for research may explain why Diehl decided not to elaborate on the scope of work.
Especially since the content of the IRIS-T Block II project was earlier described by Diehl Defence Chief Program Director Harald Buschek at the ILA Berlin Air Show 2024, in June. According to Buschek, the updated version of the missile will receive a new homing head, improved electronics, and the ability to exchange data mid-flight.
Therefore, the IRIS-T Block II is expected to retain the same launch range (25 km in air-to-air variant) and warhead weight (11.4 kg). On the flip side, the response speed, range, and quality of target acquisition, noise resistance, and other parameters derived from its electronics component will reach a new level.
