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.
Il 23 settembre scorso un missile antinave OTOMAT nella configurazione TG2 (Tele Guida 2) è stato lanciato con successo dalla corvetta Nadim della classe Laksamana della Reale Marina Malese (RMN).
Il lancio ha pienamente risposto agli obblighi contrattuali richiesti ad MBDA per la validazione del sistema OTOMAT TG2 (sistema di rivettoramento in volo oltre l’orizzonte radar) installato a bordo degli elicotteri Super Lynx forniti da AgustaWestland all RMN.
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 and Roxel are setting up a new hypersonic line called METHYLE (a test system for long-endurance hypersonic technologies) in the ramjet test facility of their Bourges-Subdray plant. The system has been developed with support from the European Union (FEDER fund), the Government, the Centre region, the Département of Cher and the city of Bourges.
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.
Il primo tiro del PAAMS (Principal Anti-Air Missile System), il nuovo sistema di difesa antiaerea navale della Royal Navy, è stato effettuato con successo questo 4 Giugno dalla piattaforma Longbow del poligono di tiro del CELM (Centre d’Essais de Lancement des Missiles) della DGA situato vicino all’Ile du Levant, al largo delle coste mediterranee francesi.
