MBDA's had displayed a number of their missiles at Aero India 2023.
India’s Rafales are to be equipped with the SCALP deep-strike cruise missile from MBDA.
The IAF’s Rafales are also be equipped with MICA, a potent air combat missile. It is also part of the upgrade package for the IAF’s Mirage 2000 aircraft. L&T MBDA Missile Systems Ltd, is delivering Make in India projects in support of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
MBDA has proposed the famous Exocet AM39 air launched anti-ship missile for the Rafale M for the new Indian aircraft carrier.
Other examples of technological edge equipping the Indian Air Force include the ASRAAM within visual range (or dogfighting) missiles. ASRAAM is providing the IAF’s Jaguar fleet with a step-change in air combat performance – a capability that will soon also enhance the IAF’s new Tejas LCA Mk1A. MBDA also has agreements in place with Bharat Dynamics Limited for ASRAAM to be assembled in India to support Make in India.
The Mistral ATAM system has been successfully integrated on the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) and final integration is being done on the Light Combat Helicopter (LCH). Utilisation of the Mistral missile on India’s helicopter platforms also provides a bridge to their use in a ground based VSHORAD role, where the missile is fully compliant with India’s requirements and outperforms the capabilities of its rivals. Again, MBDA and BDL have signed an agreement for the establishment of an assembly line for Mistral missiles in India.
At the Air & Missile Defence India 2023 seminar & expo, being held on 16 June 2023 at Air Force Auditorium, New Delhi, we will discuss all aspects of the subject with defence industry.
