MBDA is
developing a solution to meet the requirements of the British and French
navies for a future helicopter-launched anti-ship missile. Weighing
around 100kg, this missile will replace two other anti-ship missiles
within the MBDA product portfolio. Sea Skua is used on the UK Royal
Navy’s Lynx and on the Sea King, Lynx and AB212 helicopters of
seven other countries, including the navies of Germany, Brazil, Malaysia,
Kuwait, Turkey and South Korea. The AS15TT is used on the Panther helicopter
operated by Middle Eastern forces. FASGW(H)/ANL will equip the Royal
Navy’s AW159 Lynx Wildcat helicopters and the French Navy’s
helicopters.
Suitable for both blue water and cluttered littoral operations, FASGW(H)/ANL
represents a major advance on the generation of missiles which it will
replace from a technological standpoint. This new system provides very
precise effects against a wide range of threats even in complex environments
thus satisfying a recognised and common future need. A high speed two-way
data-link communicates the images, “seen” by the missile’s
seeker, to the operator. Therefore, in addition to initiating an autonomous
engagement, the operator can also monitor the action or even remain
in control of the missile throughout the full duration of its flight.
