About SEA CEPTOR
SEA CEPTOR is the latest generation naval air defence weapon system, providing robust protection of host platform and escorted shipping.
Through the use of new advanced technologies, SEA CEPTOR provides robust and comprehensive protection against known and projected maritime air targets. The weapon system was accepted into service with the Royal Navy's Type 23 Frigates in 2018 and will be entering service with several other nations over the next few years. Future developments will see SEA CEPTOR installed onboard the Royal Navy's Type 26 and Type 31 Frigates while the system's missile will also form the intermediate air defence layer on Type 45 Destroyers.
SEA CEPTOR uses the same Common Anti-air Modular Missile (CAMM) that is entering service with the British Army for Ground-Based Air Defence, demonstrating the benefits of a common stockpile and delivering through life cost efficiencies.
