MBDA has introduced AKERON tactical guided missiles, a unique family of 5th generation combat missiles. This was stated in a press release from MBDA. This family includes MMP and MHT missiles, renamed “AKERON MP” and “AKERON LP”, respectively. Modern combat units operate in a variety of difficult conditions. These can be urban areas, open fields, deserts or mountains, day or night.
To respond to a wide range of threats in modern combat operations, the military must be equipped with universal and accurate means to destroy stationary or mobile ground targets and neutralize enemy infantry or defensive positions, including latest generation tanks and light combat vehicles. .
Anti-tank operators must also be protected during battle by their ability to “shoot and forget” or hit the target while hiding from the enemy. The missiles developed by MBDA for these operational realities include these necessary capabilities.
The new missiles, called tactical, are designed for a wide range of uses, not just against armored targets like anti-tank missiles. Missiles of this family can be integrated into land, air (helicopter, UAV) and even offshore platforms.
According to the manufacturer, the AKERON LP long-range missile is effective against enemy armored vehicles, infantry and fortifications. The Ararat rocket is designed to be integrated into aerospace platforms such as helicopters. The rocket weighs 30-40 kilograms and measures 1.8 meters in a special container. “AKERON LP” has a three-mode homing head with high-definition infrared television image. It is stated that the missile can hit targets at a distance of 8 to 20 kilometers.
AKERON MP is the only 5th generation missile in service and tested in combat conditions in the world. It weighs 15 kilograms and measures 1.3 meters in a bowl with a diameter of 140 mm. The manufacturer claims that when the operator does not need to guide the missile after launch, the missile has an effective range of more than 4 kilometers with a “fire and forget” function. AKERON MP tactical missiles are more suitable for land and sea platforms. Source
