Operated from the ship combat system using existing air defence sensors, VL MICA has no need for a dedicated fire control system. The missile is stored and vertically launched from its individual storage container (no need for a VLS) providing 360° engagement coverage. Several ship programmes have been carried out that have demonstrated how the modularity and compact nature of VL MICA facilitate the system’s installation on a wide range of warships, both new build or retrofit. In addition to VL MICA’s many operational advantages, low maintenance, reduced manpower requirements and very long service life are key features.

Mistral ATLAS RC is compatible with all versions of the combat proven Mistral missile and benefits from its many performance advantages. Mistral ATLAS RC is MBDA’s response to today’s requirements for a weapon system that combines high fire power, short reaction time, day/night surveillance and engagement capabilities, tactical and strategic mobility, together with a high level of crew protection. The system can be integrated into a coordinated fire control network and adaptable to any communication system chosen by the customer. The system has been designed to minimise crew workload and number (it can be operated by one single soldier), to be easily integrated on a wide range of highmobility armoured or non-armoured combat vehicles and to be air transportable on aircraft such as the A400M and C130.
