European firm MBDA is showcasing its upgraded portfolio, including several new systems, at the Euronaval defense exhibition in France.

The sovereign defense solutions will “provide a full range of decisive capabilities to ensure maritime superiority,” stated the company. 

They include two newly developed missiles and a remote-controlled anti-air defense system.

Exocet SM40 Missile

The Exocet SM40 is a submarine-launched missile designed for anti-ship and surface warfare, capable of reaching extreme depths underwater. 

It features a new turbojet propulsion system and an advanced radar frequency seeker that enhances its ability to discriminate and identify targets.

The missile is engineered to ensure submarine self-protection against threats and to defeat heavily defended vessels. 

TESEO Mk2/E Missile

The TESEO Mk2/E is a long-range missile designed for precise anti-ship missions and high-precision land attacks.

It features a dual-mode seeker with advanced sensors and a two-way data link for real-time control, allowing for target updates and mission abort options. 

With a high subsonic cruise speed, it can strike targets over 350 kilometers (270 miles) away. 

SIMBAD-RC Remote-Controlled System

The SIMBAD-RC is a remote-controlled, short-range anti-air defense system capable of firing two fire-and-forget MISTRAL 3 missiles from warships.

It is designed to withstand saturation attacks and to enhance naval platforms’ self-defense capabilities against a wide range of short-range aerial threats.
