MBDA has conducted demonstration firings of its MMP anti-tank missile guided to a target beyond visual line-of sight with help from a multi-copter drone.

The UK has contracted with MBDA for the production of its Spear 3 network enabled air-to-ground missile which will become the primary weapon of the UK’s F-35 fleet.

MBDA will adapt its MMP man-portable missile system for a European Union (EU) cooperative program to develop a beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) attack

MBDA says it has completed the first qualification firing trial of its Anglo-French Sea Venom/Anti-Navire Leger anti-ship missile.

The funding pays for the first 18 months of work—Phase 1A—to develop the demonstrators and mature new technologies.

European missile manufacturer MBDA has taken a stake in French software analysis company Numalis in a bid to strengthen the artificial-intelligence capabilities of future weapons.

Rolls-Royce says it is eyeing additional phases of its research into Embedded Electrical Starter Generator tech to look at advanced thermal management systems.
