LATEST GENERATION LONG RANGE ANTI-SHIP MISSILE SYSTEM

The EXOCET MM40 BLOCK 3 weapon system is the


Operational advantages
latest generation ship-borne variant within the
EXOCET family (recognised worldwide as the • Maritime superiority missile, from deterrence
benchmark for anti-ship missile capability and to engagement
effectiveness). It is in service with several navies • Fire-and-forget
around the world.
• Provides long range strike capability in all
EXOCET MM40 BLOCK 3 provides a very long range capability, environments (brown and blue waters) with
even in adverse weather conditions: a high probability of intercept
• All-weather
• 200km class operational range at very low altitude against all
classes of warship • Ensures a high-penetration probability against the
• All-weather capability, thanks to an active RF seeker most strongly-defended surface targets
• High hit probability even against moving targets • Multi-target
• Outstanding penetration capability against enemy air defences • Salvo capability
• High flexibility to cope with complex attack scenarios
• Littoral warfare and coastal land attack
A new navigation and propulsion package on EXOCET MM40 • Comprehensive and easy-to-use Mission
BLOCK 3 allows for the programming of 3D way-points, optimised Planning System
trajectories and simultaneous terminal attacks of multiple missiles.
EXOCET MM40 BLOCK 3 is compatible with most of the EXOCET
logistics support assets already in service. Its launching system is
interoperable with all MM40 versions, thus enabling a smooth
transition to BLOCK 3. The MM40 BLOCK 3 shipset is versatile
enough for installation on a wide range of naval platforms.
