Mr Comite also gives us the latest on the Marte ER including its integration aboard NH90 helicopters.

MBDA signed in 2016 a contract for the supply of a coastal defense system for the Qatari Emiri Naval Forces (QENF).

This innovative coastal missile system deploys two different munitions, Exocet MM40 Block 3 and Marte ER (the Extended Range version of the Marte missile), and it will be able to work in autonomous mode with its own radar, or alternatively by data-linking to a higher level within a wider coastal surveillance network. The supply of these coastal missile systems will allow the QENF to prevent hostile ships from reaching and threatening their territorial waters.
