Bengaluru: The company which was formed as a joint venture by a merger of the guided missile divisions of Airbus, Leonardo, and BAE Systems in Europe is exhibiting a full range of missiles and missile systems at the at India’s premier air show – Aero India 2019.
“The system are designed to provide next generation air combat capabilities, including air dominance, strike and maritime engagement, for the Indian Air Force,” said a senior company executive.
Air Dominance system on display at Aero India in Bengaluru from February 20 to 24 include:
METEOR is MBDA’s ramjet powered and network-enabled beyond visual range air-to-air missile, which is widely recognised as a game changer for air combat. Key to this is Meteor’s throttleable ramjet engine, active radar seeker and data-link that combine to provide unmatched end-game speed and manoeuvrability at greatly extended ranges, resulting in its all-important ‘No-Escape Zone’ being several times greater than any other existing or planned BVR weapons. Meteor is a six-European nation programme that will provide the key future BVR air-to-air armament for Europe’s new generation of combat platforms. The Indian Air Force is receiving this unrivalled system on its new Rafale aircraft.
ASRAAM is being delivered to the IAF as its New Generation Close Combat Missile programme. With its large rocket motor, and clean aerodynamic design, ASRAAM has unrivalled speed and resultant aerodynamic manoeuvrability and range. ASRAAM gives it a high kinematic capability that delivers superior end-game performance for within visual range air combat. ASRAAM will arm the IAF’s upgraded Jaguar fleet, and potentially other IAF platforms.
