LONDON, May 5 (UPI) -- European missile-maker MBDA is to explore a ground-based air defense missile system based on its Sea Ceptor system for Royal Navy frigates.
Under a $60.7 million contract from Britain’s Ministry of Defense, MBDA will demonstrate the adaptation and evolution of core weapon system sub-systems, such as command and control, for a land environment and prepare the system to replace the Royal Army’s Rapier air defense system.
