EXOCET AM39
Air launched anti-ship missile
EXOCET AM39 is the air launched version of the EXOCET anti-ship missiles family.
Introduction : EXOCET family
The Exocet family is a range of combat-proven air-launched, sea-launched (surface and submarine) and coastal battery missile systems with 3,300 missiles already sold to 33 customers around the world.
The Exocet family includes:
Exocet MM38 (surface-to- surface)
Exocet AM39 (air-to-surface)
Exocet SM39 (submarine-to-surface)
Exocet MM40 Block 1 and Block 2
(surface-to-surface or coastal batteries)
Exocet MM40 Block 3
(surface-to-surface and coastal attack)
Operational requirement
Engagement of high value naval targets at stand-off distances with a stealthy, easy to use Fire and Forget weapon with sea skimming flight..
The MBDA solution
The air-to-surface version of the EXOCET family, the AM39 Block 2 is primarily a sea-skimmer of the Fire and Forget type. AM39 Block 2 can be launched from strike aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft or medium-heavy helicopters throughout their speed and altitude envelopes.
With a range up to 70 km depending on the altitude and speed of the aircraft, the AM39 Block 2 enables aircraft to stay out of range of the anti-aircraft weapons of attacking surface vessels.
When not mounted on an aircraft, the missile is stored in a pressurized logistic container.
MAIN FEATURES and ADVANTAGES
Trans-horizon firing capacity
Very high lethality
Stealth
delayed emission of the homing head, ultra-skimming flight at very low altitude
Target selection
discrimination capacity of the homing head
Penetration of defences
firing in divergent or convergent bursts designed to arrive from all directions at the same time in order to saturate defences; terminal manoeuvres to escape short range missiles and fast firing guns; sophisticated electronic counter countermeasures.
Flexible tactical use
low workload for the operators due to automatic computing of the skimming flight altitude. This depends on the condition of the sea when approaching the target, management of the firing procedure, optimisation of trajectories - initial flight level possible for obstacle clearance, etc.
Status of programme
Ordered by the French Navy for its Super-Etendard and Atlantic aircraft ATL 2 and by 11 foreign countries, the AM39 has already been installed on many different types of aircraft, including helicopters.
EXOCET AM39 has been also adapted on Rafale F3.
The EXOCET AM39 is combat-proven.

The 57-mm Mk 295 ammunition is a pre-fragmented, programmable, proximity-fuzed fixed round for use with the 57-mm Mk 110 Naval Gun system.
The 57-mm Mk 295 consists of a 6-mode programmable fuze, a pre-fragmented projectile shell containing PBX-explosive, a brass cartridge case with Low Vulnerability Ammunition (LOVA) propellant and an electric primer.
The 57-mm Mk 295 ammunition is Insensitive Munition (IM) improved in accordance with MIL-STD 2105B.
The 57-mm Mk 295 ammo provides six settable fuze function modes from a single round type to optimize detonation effects against aerial, surface or ground threats being addressed. One of the Mk 295 rounds can replace multiple conventional rounds, increasing stowed kills. Each 57-mm Mk 295 fuze is automatically and individually programmed by the Mk 110 Naval Gun system Proximity Fuze Programmer, which continually receives data from the ship's Fire Control System. Each fuze is programmed to the selected mode immediately before firing. The projectile section of the 57-mm Mk 295 round delivers more than 8,000 pre-formed tungsten fragments in reaction to 420 grams of PBX explosive.
With an effective range of nearly nine miles, the 57-mm Mk 295 projectile achieves devastating effects against all target types in any selected mode of fuze operation.
The Mk 295 ammunition is more cost effective than comparable ammunition, and more importantly, due to its all-target versatility, occupies a significantly smaller logistics footprint.
The 57-mm Mk 295 round provides total immunity to Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) and allows tactical flexibility to operate in heavy ECM environments or natural disturbances while successfully addressing a range of different targets.
Mk 295 ammunition provides direct benefits to many levels of surface combatant operations. The common 57-mm Mk 295 round allows for simplified logistics with fewer ammunition types required onboard, and achieves greater efficiencies in transport and storage for today's compact ships. With the 57-mm Mk 110 Naval Gun system and Mk 295 ammunition always ready to address any target, naval forces can achieve the highest levels of combat readiness, endurance and effectiveness, as well as minimize ammunition consumption.

DIAMOND BACK
Low cost range expansion wing kit
Operational requirement
Demand for systems capable of extending the range and manoeuvrability of certain guided bombs has increased over the years. Yet military budgets need this requirement to be met at the lowest possible cost..
The MBDA solution
For this mission, MBDA has developed an original technical solution: a low cost, high performance footprint expansion wing kit, designed to be compatible with low cost GPS-guided weapons including: Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) and Small Diameter Bomb (SDB).
The DIAMOND BACK® wing kit solution offers a number of advantages:
the in-flight deployment of the DIAMOND BACK® wings coupled with high aerodynamic efficiency enables longer range and better manoeuvrability for the weapon
Low frontal area and compact form when the wings are stowed
simple, robust and reliable extension mechanism
The tandem wing provides a superior distribution of the wing load
The DIAMOND BACK ® kit concept also improves the pilot's survivability, as the increased release distance allows the launch aircraft to remain in a stand-off position.
From launch to impact
After the bomb has been released and the diamond wing has been extended, the bomb benefits from additional lift. When a bomb like the GPS-guided JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition), equipped with a DIAMOND BACK ® kit, is released at an altitude of 25,000 ft (7 600 m), its range increases from 18.5km to 65 km.
Status of programme
In July 2001, MBDA and Boeing signed a teaming agreement for world-wide sales of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) family of weapons and its derivatives, such as the extended range variant (JDAM-ER). The teaming agreement also includes the US Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) programme, for wich Boeing has been selected for the next 2-year system development and demonstration (SDD) phase. Both JDAM-ER and the Boeing SDB solution use the MBDA Diamond Back wing kit to achieve range extension.
Under the sponsorship of the USAF, MBDA and Boeing have successfully demonstrated extended range for JDAM and SSBREX, with 7 DIAMOND BACK® wing kit flight tests completed between April and December 2000. Weapon releases were from a USAF F-16 at Eglin AFB, Florida and White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Two weapon types were used (2000lb JDAM ER and 250 lb SSBREX) proving that the wing kit is scalable across a range of payloads.
Flight test objectives were met by demonstration of safe separation, wing deployment, controlled cruise flight, down range and cross track performance and terminal end game that resulted in hitting the target area as planned. DIAMOND BACK® increases the weapon footprint by up to 5 times (dependent on release altitude) whilst retaining the terminal accuracy of the JDAM or SDB munition.
DIAMOND BACK® has been selected for SDB and enters service with the USAF in 2006

Avionics support equipment (ASE) is a system of commercial off-the-shelf instrumentation and peculiar interface hardware, integrated within an industry-standard architecture and driven by a commercial test executive/ATLAS software development environment. The systems provide intermediate level (line-replaceable unit) support for electronics on the F-2 aircraft.
The F-2 ASE systems are the result of a cooperative, requirements-driven process between the customer and ESPS to define the needed test capability for the selected LRUs. The system design leverages a core set of instrumentation, manufactured by a third party, with an enhanced set of augmentation equipment to provide the capabilities required for testing the assigned LRUs. The test system utilizes the TYX PAWS runtime system and ATLAS-based development environment.
