The development of anti-ship missiles is a priority for all defence industries.

MBDA announced the successful test of its new Marte ER anti-ship missile.

The test took place in Sardinia. The latest version of the system hardware and software was used during the test. The rocket after its launch flew a long distance over the sea.

Make three turns and a dive manoeuvre.

The whole procedure was successful.

In the final phase the missile successfully manoeuvred an anti-Close-in Weapon System and hit the target just above the water line at high subsonic speed.

This confirmed the highly effective guidance systemof the Marte ER. During the test, the rocket engineal so worked perfectly. This test was the last in the development phase of the missile, which is expected to enter service in a few months.
