SCALP Naval has just completed its series of aerodynamic trials at ONERA’s wind tunnel facility in Modane, France. This milestone was achieved less than two years after the French DGA (Délégation Générale pour l’Armement) notified the development contract for its MdCN naval cruise missile programme in December 2006.
The production series version of the vertical launch container has now been validated.
The terminal precision of the missile has been confirmed for the fourteenth time in succession.
Antoine Bouvier, CEO of MBDA, has been invited to join the board of ASD (AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe) following his election during a recent ASD convention held in Paris on 9th and 10th October, 2008.
Am 23. September 2008 wurde mit einem OTOMAT TG2 Flugkörper ein Erprobungsschießen erfolgreich durchgeführt. Das Schießen fand auf der Nadim-Korvette (Laksamana Klasse) der Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) statt.
Mit dem Erprobungsschießen hat MBDA eine Vertragsverpflichtung zur Validierung des MBDA OTOMAT TG2 Systems (Nutzung des Flugkörpers über die Sichtweite hinaus) erfüllt. Das TG2 System war an einem Super Lynx Hubschrauber angebracht, der der RMN von AgustaWestland geliefert worden war.
MBDA, leader européen des missiles et systèmes de missiles, participe au centenaire de l’industrie aérospatiale française en exposant sur les Champs-Elysées à Paris, quatre de ses programmes-phares. Le plus spectaculaire, un camion lance-missiles antiaériens VL MICA est arrivé hier soir sur la plus célèbre avenue du monde pour se positionner à côté du stand présentant des maquettes des missiles SCALP, Exocet MM40 et Aster.
MBDA und Roxel nahmen auf dem Prüfstand für Staustrahltriebwerke im Werk Bourges-Subdray die neue Hyperschall-Testanlage METHYLE (Moyen d'Essai pour les Technologies HYpersoniques Longue Endurance) in Betrieb. Die Anlage wurde mit Unterstützung des Europäischen Fonds für Regionale Entwicklung (FEDER), des französischen Staates, der Regionverwaltung Centre, des Departements Cher sowie rStadt Bourges entwickelt.
MBDA has been awarded a £177 million (€224 million) contract by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) to maintain the Royal Navy’s Seawolf air defence system. The SWISS (Seawolf In Service Support) contract, alongside a complementary contract awarded by the MoD to BAE Systems, will sustain the capability of the Seawolf system and ensure its readiness and availability for deployment with the Type 22 and Type 23 frigates over the next 10 years.
A new approach to purchasing the UK armed forces’ complex weapons took a step forward today with the launch of an Assessment Phase for Team Complex Weapons (Team CW), an innovative partnership between the Ministry of Defence, MBDA (UK), Thales UK, QinetiQ and Roxel UK Ltd.
For the first time, MBDA’s Customer Support & Services (CSS) will be promoting its range of customer-focused services and products at a major exhibition. Having developed a partnering approach with the UK MoD, which has already led to the signature of innovative contracts, Farnborough 2008 is the obvious choice for this debut.
Der erste erfolgreiche Testschuss mit PAAMS (Principal Anti-Air Missile System), dem neuen Flugabwehrsystem der Royal Navy, erfolgte am 4. Juni von der Longbow-Plattform auf dem DGA-Versuchsgelände CELM (Centre d’Essais de Lancement des Missiles) vor der Île du Levant an der französischen Mittelmeerküste.
