About MARTE MK2/S
MARTE MK2/S is a fixed/rotary wing-launched medium-range anti-ship missile weapon system, designed to meet operational requirements in complex littoral environments and blue water scenarios.
The weapon is available for the new generation of naval anti-surface warfare helicopters and Maritime Patrol Aircraft.
Navies operating medium naval helicopters such as the NH-90 or the AW101 will therefore be able to maintain a common stock of missiles for deployment from both their helicopters and experience significant logistics commonalities with the Marte ship-launched MK2/N variant.
This new missile is the latest version of the Marte MK2 that first entered service in the 1980s with the Italian Navy's SH3D helicopter fleet.
The Marte MK2/S and MK2/N missiles incorporate several technological enhancements providing increased operational performance.
Marte MK2/S is in operational service with the Italian Navy NH90 and EH101 helicopters.
