Selex
ES signed infrared seeker contract for MBDA's FASGW (H)/ANL anti-ship
missile system
During
the IDEX 2015 Exhibition taking place in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates)
from 22-26 February, Finmeccanica – Selex ES announced the signing
of a contract with MBDA France and SAGEM which will see the company
participate in the development and production of a new infrared seeker
for FASGW(H)/ANL, the next generation helicopter-launched anti-ship
missile. FASGW(H)/ANL is being developed jointly by the UK and French
governments for a range of future helicopter platforms.
FASGW(H)
/ANL scale model on MBDA stand at NAVDEX 2015 last week. The anti-ship
missile will be called "Sea Venom" in the Royal Navy.
FASGW(H)
/ANL is designed to provide precise effects against a range of threats
in complex naval environments, so a highly-precise seeker is integral
to the success of the missile. The system will also be integrated with
a two-way data link so that the operator can monitor and alter if necessary
the targeting of the missile while in-flight.
Work on the seeker is already underway – development started in
late 2013 under pre-contract funding from MBDA and the first electronics
hardware and a preliminary mathematical model have been delivered by
Finmeccanica – Selex ES to SAGEM. The development phase will be
followed immediately by a multi-year manufacturing phase.
Finmeccanica – Selex ES produces a range of high performance electro-optical
seekers – currently in active service with a number of international
missile systems – suitable for different types of guided weapon.
These include infrared imaging (both cooled and uncooled), semi-active
laser, dual and multimode seekers.
