Sagem seeker chosen for MBDA’s new light antiship missile – Oct 28, 2014– Paris, France (Techreleased) – Sagem (Safran) announced today a contract with long-standing partner MBDA to develop and produce the infrared seeker for the upcoming light antiship missile, the ANL/Sea Venom, a joint French-British program launched within the scope of the Lancaster House treaty signed in November 2010.
The seeker will send back images to the aircraft’s cockpit, contributing to the flexibility of the ANL/Sea Venom missile and its different firing modes: man over the loop (MOTL), with the possibility of changing the assigned target during the missile’s flight; or choosing a precise impact point (fire & forget, with lock-on before firing or during the flight, etc.).
Sagem is contributing breakthrough uncooled infrared technologies to the ANL/Sea Venom program, based on optronic systems developed for the FELIN soldier modernization system and MMP medium-range missile programs. A long-standing partner to MBDA, Sagem developed and produces the infrared seekers for the Mica IR (infrared), Mistral and MMP missiles.
