Description
Starstreak II is an enhanced version of Starstreak missile featuring a maximum range in excess of 7,000 meters and an improved guidance system with optimized performance against small signature targets such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), helicopters and light armored vehicles. The range increase affects both altitude and parabolic coverage. Thales claims that enhanced Starstreak can be launched either from air, sea and ground-based platforms. The Starstreak II development was leveraged by the British military commanders experience gained in recent conflicts. Thales UK announced the enhanced weapon development in 2007.
