About MISTRAL ATLAS RC
MISTRAL ATLAS RC is a new MISTRAL launcher based on a remotely controlled turret and can be fitted with two or four Mistral missiles ready to fire. Equipped with the latest generation thermal sight and is capable of being mounted on a variety of vehicles ranging from light (SHERPA or URO VAMTAC ST5) to heavy vehicles (PANDUR, BOXER or STRYKER).
ATLAS-RC is MBDA's response to the requirement for a weapon system that combines high firepower, short reaction time, day/night surveillance and engagement capabilities. It also offers tactical and strategic mobility, including force protection on the move, resulting in high level crew protection and lowmaintenance constraints.
ATLAS RC can be operated in standalone mode, however it is natively designed to be coordinated by a C² such as MBDA's LICORNE C² through a combat radio network, allowing:
- Automatic slaving (azimuth and elevation) of the turret on the target designated by the C².
- Automatic data exchanges between the ATLAS RC and the C² like the engagement status, kill assessment information, ATLAS RC status, and ammunitions availability.
ATLAS RC, thanks to its simplicity of use, guarantees the full performance of the MISTRAL missile, whatever the target characteristics, high crossing speed, high elevation, very low signature.
ATLAS RC can also be remotely operated at distance for long-term deployment through a dedicated link.
