Only MBDA has the technologies and expertise to deliver world-leading and European-designed missile systems that deliver reliable superiority across the full spectrum of these capabilities.
Air dominance – MBDA’s cutting-edge capabilities and collaborative approach with customers has resulted in an unrivalled portfolio of air-to-air weapons. ASRAAM, MICA and Meteor missiles all being exhibited during Farnborough and all continue to evolve to meet new challenges, ensuring air forces have the tools they need to secure the skies now and in the future. Together they form the core of Europe’s air dominance capabilities across its main combat air platforms: Eurofighter Typhoon, Rafale, Gripen and F-35, as well as new international platforms such as KF-21.
Air defence – during FIA2024 MBDA will be unveiling new and innovative air defence capabilities focusing on the new threat from drones and demand for new very short range air defence (VSHORAD) capabilities. New effectors for MBDA’s flagship Sky Warden counter-drone solution will be unveiled, as well as a new VSHORAD missile. MBDA is the only European company able to offer systems for every layer for air defence, from C-UAS and directed energy weapons such as DragonFire, to ballistic missile defence and counter-hypersonics.
Air-launched strike – at FIA2024 MBDA will be demonstrating the major advances it has made in its Orchestrike artificial intelligence tool for collaborative strike weapons. A live demonstrator for the first time including real missile hardware and new AI-enabled datalinks, will allow military users to immerse themselves in a unique simulated raid where the missiles react live and collaboratively to the developments of a tactical situation thanks to Orchestrike.
MBDA will also showcase its innovative spirit via its Collaborate to Innovate stand (Hall 1, Stand 1230), as a hub for SMEs, research and technology organisations, universities, trade organisations, laboratories and institutes to meet and build relationships and partnerships that deliver innovation and technical excellence.
