VL MICA NG

The VL MICA NG GBAD system benefits from the latest generations of the VL MICA missile, tactical operation centre and radar, all fitted with the latest technology. This provides an unsurpassed medium range ground-based air defence capability with the highest level of mobility and deployment flexibility. The system is designed for the permanent protection of major sites (industrial, military or civilian) as well as high value assets. According to the case, it operates in full autonomy as well as integrated in a global air defence network.

Compared to the previous generation of VL MICA missiles, the new VL MICA NG missile is equipped with a new bi-pulse motor that doubles the interception range. This system offers a very high single shot kill probability and simultaneous multiple shot capability: autonomous guidance and extremely high firing rate. VL MICA NG also has many operational advantages, such as low maintenance, reduced manpower requirements and very long service life.
