摘要

MBDA has announced the award of the FLAADS (Future Local Area Air Defence System) Demonstration Phase Contract by the Ministry of Defence. Under this £483 million contract, MBDA will develop the naval air defence system, named Sea Ceptor, to replace the Vertical Launch Sea-wolf currently in service on the Royal Navy's Type 23 frigates. Significantly, Sea Ceptor is also planned to be the principal air defence system on the successor Type 26 Global Combat Ship.
