A Royal Navy AW159 Wildcat maritime helicopter currently deployed as part of Carrier Strike Group 21 (CSG21) test-fired a Thales Martlet (Lightweight Multirole Missile or LMM) missile.

A Royal Navy AW159 Wildcat maritime helicopter successfully conducted the first test-firing of the Thales Martlet (Lightweight Multirole Missile or LMM) this week.

Thales recently conducted firing trials at Royal Artillery Air Defence Range at Manorbier as part of the Integration testing phase of the Future Anti Surface Guided Weapon (Light), (FASGW(L) programme.

The Royal Navy Type 23 Frigate HMS Sutherland test fired four Martlet missiles against a fast moving surface target off the Welsh coast. Fitted on an MSI Defence 30mm RWS, the missile (also know as Thales LMM) is design to protect surface combatants against asymmetric threats.

Thales has partnered with Kraken Group to integrate a suite of on-board sensors and weapon systems, as well as scalable command and control, communications and networking systems into Kraken's K50 Gunship.

Successful Ship Helicopter Operating Limitations (SHOL) trials have proven that the Wildcat HMA Mk 2 can operate fully loaded with its newest missile systems in a range of challenging conditions at sea.

British maritime technology company Kraken Technology Group (KTG) announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Thales for the ongoing development and provision of systems for the Kraken K50 maritime precision engagement platform.

The UK Carrier Strike Group’s warships led by aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth worked with the USS America-led United States Expeditionary Strike Group 7 and two ships from Japan’s Maritime Self Defence Force to prove the ability of the three navies to operate effectively together.
