The Thales LMM missile was fired from the new remote launcher for the first time during a live-fire demonstration. Designed for use in static, mechanised and mounted configurations across land and maritime domains, the system offers a pathway to attritable, uncrewed Short Range Air Defence (SHORAD) and surface attack capabilities.
During a live demonstration held this week, a new capability within ForceShield UK was unveiled. Demonstrating the flexibility of Thales’ command-and-control system, the event featured the launch of a Lightweight Multirole Missile (LMM) as part of a series of trials.
Which Systems Were Used in the Thales LMM Missile Firing?
The firing was conducted through the integration of Thales’ Agile C4I @ Edge (ACE) engagement control technology and its multi-mission fire control system. The system is designed to enhance operator survivability, force mass and lethality through autonomous, relocatable systems without increasing personnel requirements.
Thales continues to develop and test the remote launcher system through self-funded research and development activities. The company aims to align its cutting-edge sovereign capabilities with the British Army’s 20/40/40 vision in the SHORAD domain. The first live firing of the Thales LMM missile was also conducted as part of these trials.
