Carried out with the support of the French Army and of the Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA – French Procurement Agency) at the Canjuers military camp in the south of France, this firing was representative of a ‘beyond Line of sight’ (BLOS- also called BVR) engagement.
First Firing of MBDA’s MMP Anti-tank Missile from Special Forces Vehicle Our Bureau 2004
MMP Missile fired from French Army’s ARQUUS Sabre Assault Vehicle
MBDA has carried out the first firing of an MMP missile from a French Army’s ARQUUS Sabre special forces vehicle, hitting a tank located 3.5 KM away.
The MMP missile was fired using a ‘lock-on-before-launch’ mode, with a rapid switchover to ‘fire-and-forget’ mode, making the vehicle fully mobile after firing. This system ensures that the firing vehicle is not tracked by enemy radars.
Carried out at the Canjuers military camp in the south of France, the firing was part of a campaign to test the missile implemented with the support of the French Army and DGA – French Procurement Agency).
