Vertical launch (VL) MICA, a short-range missile, protects highly sensitive civil and military assets. It can also be used by armed forces during manoeuvres. Deployed on land from a Tactical Operations Centre (TOC), it is the only missile in the world capable of being fitted with either a heatseeking homing head (VL MICA IR) or with an active radar (VL MICA RF). Even in severe IRCM-ECM environments, there’s an outstanding probability of destruction.
 


Unequalled Ability for Self-Defence and for Local Area Defence 

With autonomous guidance and a very short reaction time, VL MICA missiles can intercept a wide variety of low-altitude and low-signature targets: airplanes, missiles, intelligent bombs and helicopters. Easy to deploy, they are endowed with highly advanced technologies:

  • Infrared or radar seeker
  • 360° coverage 
  • 10 minutes for full deployment
  • 15 minutes for launcher reload
  • Anti-saturation attack
  • Salvo firing (one launcher sends four missiles to four different targets in six seconds)
