MBDA SPEAR-EW Targets SEAD Missions

Our Bureau - : Mar 16, 2023 - : 6:17 am

MBDA is showcasing its SPEAR-EW offering at the ongoing show, in addition to a wide range of missile armament. According to a company spokesperson, the SPEAR-EW is being offered as a solution to a wide range of Suppression of Enemy Air Defence (SEAD) missions. Integrating the proven SPEAR airframe with a miniaturised Electronic Warfare (EW) payload also provides both stand-in jammer and decoy capabilities, greatly increasing platform survivability and acting as a significant force multiplier in a complex anti access/area denial (A2AD) threat environment.

MBDA’s SPEAR family of network-enabled precision surface attack missiles is being promoted at the show as as the solution for a strike weapon that can operate in all conditions, against severe countermeasures and attack moving and manoeuvring targets. Its beyond-the-horizon reach ensures its launching fighter jet remains safely away from hostile air defence units. The precision effects warhead allows for a reduction in the number of different weapons within a load-out while extending the operator’s air-to-ground capability with a low collateral damage and providing high aircraft survivability. 

MBDA is also showcasing its Naval Based Air Defence (NBAD) capability with the CAMM (Common Anti-air Modular Missile) and the Sea Ceptor ship-based, all weather, weapon system. CAMM provides a high rate of fire against multiple simultaneous targets and thanks to its novel soft vertical launch technology, which also provides a minimal launch signature and 360° coverage. Being a compact munition allows for a multiple weapons fit in limited spaces, and CAMM can be ‘quad-packed’ into the Mk 41 VLS.
