The Concept Visions project continues
to open up new opportunities for sharing the vision of
the future naval warfare capabilities with international
military customer and exploring in an unconventional way
the weapon systems architecture to match it.
The CVS401 Perseus is capable of multiple
operating modes against a wide land and maritime target
set whilst capable of defeating advanced enemy defence
systems. it is designed as a tactical weapon system operated
through and advanced Operations & Mission Planning
system at the crossroads of naval, land and air warfare.
The advanced supersonic, agile and stealthy
airframe is powered by a revolutionary ramjet motor built
around a high compact Continuous Detonation Wave Engine
making it an unrivalled penetrator of defence, and a perfect
weapon against fast relocatable Targets when combined
with the advanced dual mode sensor package.
The lethal package includes two guided
effectors ejected from the payload module and a third
warhead remaining on-board for a dispersed lethal effect
on multi-elements targets such as large warship or a ground
based missile system.
The new modular composite structure allows
reductions to the overall mass and fosters opportunities
for capability enhancement through life, simplifying maintenance
operations through the whole life cycle and supporting
and developing a family of products.
