Description

The Future Local Area Air Defence System - Maritime (FLAADS-M), now Sea Ceptor, is an advanced shipborne air defense system intended for the Royal Navy's Type 26 frigate, formerly known as the Future Surface Combatant, and the future Global Combat Ship. Besides, the same air defense system might be installed onboard Type 23 frigates. The FLAADS will utilize the Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAAMM) family to defeat a wide range of threats ranging from fixed-wing aircraft to supersonic anti-ship missiles. MBDA is the prime contractor for this program. FLAADS-M was still at the assessment phase as of March 2010. In January 2012, MBDA was awarded a £483 million contract for the development of the Sea Ceptor air defense system by 2016.
