MBDA unveils surface-launched Brimstone platform concepts

摘要

MBDA has unveiled two new high load-out, salvo-fire, surface-to-surface missile platform concepts designed to exploit the anti-armour capabilities of the Brimstone precision strike missile. Equipped with a dual-mode (millimetric wave radar/semi-active laser [MMW/SAL]) seeker, Brimstone is a 180 mm, 50 kg class effector originally conceived to engage static and manoeuvring targets in an air-to-surface role. MBDA has subsequently trialled the weapon system for surface-launched applications from land and naval platforms in line with its 'one missile, multiplatform' initiative.
