UK set to trial precision-strike missile on Apache

摘要

MBDA is carrying out a feasibility study for the UK Ministry of Defence into the possibility of integrating its dual-mode Brimstone air-to-surface missile onto the Boeing AH-64E Guardian attack helicopter. The one-year study contract -awarded to the missile manufacturer and Boeing last September and valued at less than £10 million ($14.4 million) -will lead to a live firing test in the third quarter of 2016, MBDA UK managing director David Armstrong said at the company's annual results briefing in London on 17 March.
