MBDA has successfully completed a firing of the CAMM-ER air defense missile against a maneuvering target, confirming the excellent capability of the CAMM family system.

The trial took place at an Italian firing range. CAMM-ER is the extended range member of the new-generation CAMM air defense family of systems.

All members of the CAMM family share the same cutting-edge active radar seeker and soft-launch system, with CAMM-ER featuring a larger rocket motor designed by AVIO to provide extended range out beyond 40 km.

CAMM-ER was designed to replace the Aspide munition in the Medium Advanced Air Defense System (MAADS) of the Italian Air Force and the GRIFO air defense system of the Italian Army. CAMM-ER is the missile that will be used in the Albatros NG system, which provides an optimized naval based air defense (NBAD) solution to enhance the defense capabilities of naval fleets.

MBDA is the only European defense group capable of designing and producing missiles and missile systems that correspond to the full range of current and future operational needs of the three armed forces (land, sea and air).

With a significant presence in five European countries and within the USA, in 2020 MBDA achieved revenue of 3.6 billion euros with an order book of 16.6 billion euros. In total, the group offers a range of 45 missile systems and countermeasures products already in operational service and more than 15 others currently in development.

MBDA is jointly owned by Airbus (37.5%), BAE Systems (37.5%), and Leonardo (25%).
