AKERON MP

FIFTH GENERATION LAND AND SEA COMBAT MISSILE SYSTEM

Land and Sea Combat Missile System

AKERON MP is in service and has been operationally tested and proven in extremes of climate (desert and subarctic conditions). The system’s design includes the growth potential necessary for a future family of missiles for modern land combat.

AKERON MP – a multi-role missile providing maximum flexibility to the warfighter

Technology

This unique fifth generation land and naval combat missile system
is the perfect candidate for combat vehicle integration and
dismounted deployment.

  • High level of day and night reconnaissance and
    identification capability
  • Lethality against a wide target set including latest MBTs,
    defended structure and group of enemy in the open
  • Forget or Man-in-the-Loop capabilities, even at maximum range
  • Man-in-the-Loop allowing retargeting, aim point selection and
    mission abort in two firing modes:
    – Lock-on-Before-Launch (LOBL)
    – Lock-on-After-Launch (LOAL)
  • Uncooled IR seeker allows repeated lock on to potential targets
    without consuming resources

SPEAR

PRECISION STRIKE POWERHOUSE WITH SUPERIOR VERSATILITY

Air-to-Surface Missile

Recent conflicts have demonstrated the need for precision strike weapons that can operate night and day in all weather conditions against severe countermeasures and attack moving and maneuvering targets. Powered by a turbojet engine, SPEAR has the beyond horizon reach to ensure that the aircraft remains safely away from hostile air defense units.

Highly effective against air defense units, ballistic missile launchers, hardened structures, maneuvering vehicles, tanks, naval vessels, and more, SPEAR’s flexibility provides fourth-gen fighters with fifth-gen performance. Its precision leads to low collateral damage, while its beyond-horizon reach maximizes aircraft survivability in air-to-surface combat.

Technology

SPEAR is equipped with the latest generation precision effects warhead, designed to meet the demands of the future combat mission. The weapon will allow the warfighter to reduce the numbers of different weapons within inventory while also extending the operator’s ability to engage mobile, fleeting and re-locatable targets far beyond the horizon.

  • Powered by a turbojet engine for beyond horizon reach
  • Innovative multi-mode sensor seeker for increased selectivity in complex scenarios
    • High-resolution Millimeter Wave radar
    • Semi-Active Laser
  • Equipped with a precision effects warhead

SEA CEPTOR (CAMM)

NEXT GENERATION SHIP-BASED ALL WEATHER AIR DEFENSE WEAPON SYSTEM

COMMON ANTI-AIR MODULAR MISSILE

CAMM, the Common Anti-air Modular Missile, is the next generation air defense missile designed for land, sea and air environments. The maritime application of CAMM is known as Sea Ceptor. 

Sea Ceptor will protect both the host ship and high-value units in the local area. The system has the capability to intercept and thereby neutralize the full range of current and future threats including combat aircraft and the new generation of supersonic anti-ship missiles. Capable of multiple channels of fire, the system will also counter saturation attacks.

Technology

Sea Ceptor incorporates advanced technologies to provide complete protection against all known and projected air targets. CAMM is currently in full-scale production for the United Kingdom to deliver the Sea Ceptor ship-based air defense system that will equip the Royal Navy Type 23 frigates and future Type 26.

The weapon system can be easily retrofitted into a wide range of platforms, ranging from 50m OPVs to frigates and destroyers. Two main features provide this flexibility;

  1. The use of “soft-launch” weapon technology for a highly scalable and compact launch system that can easily be installed in a number of locations.
  2. Sea Ceptor can be targeted from the ship’s existing surveillance radar sensors and does not require dedicated fire control radars.

Sea Ceptor is integrated to and will operate from British, French, and American vertical launch systems.

Data Sheet: Sea Ceptor

Key Features

  • High rate of fire against multiple simultaneous targets
  • Soft vertical launch technology for minimum launch signature and high performance
  • Compact missile allows for multiple weapons fit in limited spaces
  • Compatible with any surveillance sensor for targeting
  • Vertical launch enabling 360° coverage in all launch sectors

BRIMSTONE

PRECISION ATTACK WEAPON

Air to Ground Weapon

Brimstone is a combat proven, low collateral, close air support weapon offering the unique capability of engaging a wide range of target types, including fast-moving vehicles / vessels in both land and naval environments and in both direct and indirect modes.

Operationally deployed in the Afghanistan and Libya conflicts, Brimstone has proved to be the weapon of choice with its ability to perform surgical strikes in time-critical missions with a true day / night capability.

  • Incorporating an advanced dual mode seeker, Brimstone is effective against the most challenging, high speed and maneuvering targets.
  • Effective from multiple platforms, including fighter-attack aircraft, propeller aircraft, helicopters, Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs), surface vessels, patrol craft
  • Proven anti-Fast In-Shore Attack Craft (FIAC) capability against single, multiple and swarming threats
  • Low risk of collateral damage – Brimstone’s pinpoint accuracy and focused, low fragmentation warhead

Technology

Combat aircraft armed with the Brimstone weapon offer reach, speed, flexibility, precision and the ability to engage multiple targets with a single mission load. When used from a fixed wing platform, Brimstone provides a rapid response for Close Air Support and Counter Insurgency that is not possible from helicopters alone.

Brimstones’s wide range of target types includes:

  • fast moving and manoeuvring vehicles,
  • tanks and armoured cars, bunkers,
  • naval vessels including swarming and individual Fast In-shore Attack Craft (FIAC).

Data Sheet: Brimstone Missile

Key Features

  • Proven capability against both static and moving / manoeuvring targets
  • Pin point accuracy and low collateral damage
  • Suitable for deployment on a wide range of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, land and surface platforms
  • Human-In-The-Loop capability to meet restrictive rules of engagement
  • Ability to engage multiple targets with a single mission load. Triples the weapon load out per pylon.
  • Standard interface assisting rapid integration to a large number of platforms
  • IM compliant
