Akeron MP

The Missile Moyenne Portee (MMP), Medium Range Missile in English, is a French Army program aimed at delivering a replacement for the Milan anti-armor missile system beginning in 2015-2017. The new missile is also intended as the basis for a missile family with longer range variants. The MMP could be fired from enclosures against any ground target from armored vehicles with the latest generation armor kits to bunkers either stationary or on the move at ranges in excess of four kilometers. The MMP missile system was unveiled by MBDA during the Eurosatory exhibition in June 2010. The program's scope calls for the production of 500 firing posts and 3,000 missiles starting in 2015. As of 2017 the program is for 400 firing posts and 1,750 missiles to be delivered by 2025. The missile's seeker to be developed by Sagem combines CCD-TV daylight camera and uncooled infrared sensor imagery with inertial navigation system (INS) supporting fire-and-forget firing mode. Besides, an optic fiber data link allows the operator to minimize collateral damage watching over the impact area, re-targeting the MMP missile in-flight and/or hit targets which are located beyond or out of the visual range. The MMP missile and its derivatives are being designed to meet the requirements posed by the French Army's FELIN (dismounted infantry) and SCORPION (French counterpart to the US Army's FCS-Future Combat Systems). In June 2022, MBDA re-named the anti-tank missile family as Akeron.
