MBDA is launching studies with a view to adding two new missile types, Marte MK2 S-A and Marte ER (Extended Range), to its Marte MK2 family of missiles. These two new missiles will significantly increase the operational flexibility of this already highly effective range of anti-ship missile systems. Marte MK2/S-A and Marte ER will in due course be added to a range of missiles which currently includes the helicopter-launched Marte MK2/S and the ship-launched Marte MK2/N.
In a few days, an innovative approach to defence equipment research will be delivering its first results. MBDA, at the heart of a partnership bringing together French and UK efforts in the field of missiles, is co-ordinating a team that includes large businesses, SMEs, laboratories and universities. The Innovation and Technology Partnership on Materials and Components for Missiles (MCM ITP) is being performed under a Technical Arrangement between French Delegation Generale pour l’Armement (DGA) and UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to optimise missile research activities.
Following an international competition launched in 2007, the VL MICA short-range air defence system, in its ground-based configuration, has won its first export customer order. This success reinforces that already achieved by the naval variant of VL MICA which has already been ordered by two export customers.
