MBDA Missile Systems finalize RCC FASGW-ANL
In 2016, Britain plans to retire anti-ship missile (ASM) Sea Skua. France also intends to update its arsenal of naval aviation, abandoning aging missiles Exocet. Both of these states wish to obtain promising anti-ship missiles, suitable for launch from helicopters. In late March, a contract was signed on completion of the development and manufacturing of advanced RCC FASGW-ANL. In accordance with this document company-developer MBDA Missile Systems for carrying out all the necessary work will receive 500 million pounds (600 million euros, or U.S. $ 830 million).
Work to develop advanced anti-ship missile for helicopters FASGW-ANL (also common designation FASGW (H) / ANL) started in 2009. British designation or project FASGW FASGW (H) stands for Future Anti-Surface Guided Weapon (Heavy) - «Perspective guided missile" air-surface "heavy." France calls another development: ANL (Anti Navire Leger - «anti-ship missiles, light"). Development of new ammunition for naval aviation started in 2009. Since then, the company MBDA Missile Systems held all the necessary preparatory work for a new anti-ship missiles, satisfying the requirements of the two countries.
The contract signed in late March, includes completion of design work, holding the so-called demonstration phase of the project and the subsequent production of ready ammunition. Thus, received 500 million pounds, MBDA Missile Systems specialists are expected to finalize RCC FASGW-ANL and spend her test and then deploy the mass production of a new product. Already, apparently, the first production volumes defined parties, but the exact number of missiles ordered until called.
Promising anti-ship missile carriers should be helicopters AgustaWestland AW159 Wildcat (UK), as well as NHIndustries NH90 and Airbus Helicopters AS565 Panther (France). Using RCC FASGW-ANL, is expected to allow the naval forces of Great Britain and France to increase the possibility of attack helicopters to fight enemy surface ships. The requirements for the new RCC specifies whether to create a relatively easy ammunition with relatively heavy warhead suitable for the destruction of boats and ships with a displacement of 50 to 500 tons.
Rocket FASGW-ANL has a length of about 2.5 meters and a diameter of 200 mm casing. To stabilize the flight control and the cylindrical body has four missiles X-shaped wing and four wheel. Starting weight of the product does not exceed 110 kilograms, the warhead weight - 30 kg. The missile is equipped with a solid engine, allowing it to fly to the target at high subsonic speed. Accurate firing range is unknown, but there is information according to which the characteristics of the missile FASGW-ANL allow attack enemy ship without entering the zone of action of its anti-aircraft systems. According to various estimates, range missiles FASGW-ANL can be from 25 to 75 kilometers.
RCC FASGW-ANL proposed equip infrared homing. Through the use of such a system search target missile can be used by the method "fire and forget". To improve the efficiency of attack and for greater flexibility in the missile is equipped with two-way data link and communication with an operator. If necessary, the operator can adjust after starting trajectory of a missile. The presence of the operator in the control loop allows you to significantly increase the effectiveness of fire. In particular, the operator may impose a 110-kilogram missile at an important junction of the ship and thereby significantly increase the effect of a 30-kg warhead.
According to some reports, the French naval aviation should receive anti-ship missile with a combined guidance system. At the initial stage of flight munition type ANL must use an inertial navigation system, and an infrared homing head should be included only in the intended location of the target area. As FASGW for the British Navy, the French ANL is to use two-way communication with a remote control, giving the rocket respective advantages.
As follows from the published data, anti-ship missile FASGW-ANL is of great interest to British and French naval forces. However, it should be noted that the creation of this weapon is associated with some notable difficulties. Existing problems primarily affected the pace of work. Initially it was assumed that the missiles FASGW first batches arrive in troops in 2012-14. In late March 2014 a contract was signed for the completion of design work, from which it follows that in the next few months, the company MBDA Missile Systems will not have time to meet its obligations and transfer to the customer serial RCC. Thus, operation of RCC FASGW even with a favorable course work will not begin until 2015.
France from the outset did not set strict deadlines: ANL missiles operation scheduled to begin in 2020. Given the current pace of work of the French Navy will be able to get new ammunition not only in time but also significantly ahead of plan. This will allow the French Navy Aviation master new weapons in a calm atmosphere, without the need to urgently re due to obsolescence of existing missiles.
Export prospects rocket FASGW-ANL is not yet fully clear. This weapon is created in accordance with the requirements of British and French military. As far as these requirements are consistent with the needs and wishes of third countries - is still unknown. It should be noted that the claimed features and capabilities of prospective RCC can attract potential customers from third countries. Nevertheless, the main customers of the new missile are France and Britain.
Project FASGW-ANL is one of the joint Anglo-French projects in weapons held in the framework of One Complex Weapons. The purpose of this program is to develop new missile systems jointly by Britain, France and the company MBDA Missile Systems. Other projects under this program are anti-aircraft missile MBDA Aster / Sea Viper, cruise missile "air-surface» MBDA Storm Shadow / SCALP, as well as missile "air-" long-range MBDA Meteor. In the future, such cooperation should continue.
