4 Dec 2015 The UK has launched air strikes on Syria, amid much talk about the accuracy and precision of the Royal Air Force's Brimstone missile. The most up-to-date "dual-mode" version can direct itself using radar or be guided by a weapons operator in the air or on the ground, using lasers. The RAF is planning to
Experience in Afghanistan led to the addition of laser guidance in the dual-mode Brimstone missile, allowing a "spotter" to pick out specific targets when friendly forces or civilians were in the area. The tandem shaped charge warhead is much more effective against modern tanks than older similar weapons such as the
4. Brimstone missile. Brimstone is an advanced air-to-ground radar-guided missile developed by MBDA, for the UK Royal Air Force (RAF). MBDA received the Selective Precision Effects At Range (SPEAR) Capability 2, Block 1 demonstration and manufacturing contract from the UK MoD in March 2010. Under the contract
6 Dec 2017 These enhancements led to the Dual Mode Brimstone variant, as the missile could switch from laser-guided to autonomous targeting. issues with the missile's motor (propellant cracking and debonding between the propellant and case), the missile was tested at a U.S. site in early October 2013.
9 Oct 2017 Sources of supply for precision guided air-launched weapons are diversifying away from the United States, Beth Stevenson explains. The Royal Air Force's future UAV fleet will be integrated with MBDA's Brimstone missile, replacing the AGM-114 family that is used on its incumbent fleet of MQ-9 Reapers.
The APKWS rocket is the most cost effective laser-guided munition in its class. Our guidance section's modular design enables precision-strike capability at a quarter the price of a Brimstone missile, while delivering accuracy with reduced collateral damage. Instead of buying costly new weapon systems, users simply

1 day ago The UK Ministry of Defense has awarded MBDA a GBP400 million (USD565 million) contract to develop, manufacture, and deliver a new Capability Sustainment Program (CSP) variant of the Brimstone 2 precision-guided air-to-surface missile. The missiles, expected to become operational by 2022, will be
The RAND Corporation recently released a report entitled “Precision and Purpose: Airpower in the Libyan Civil War," which assesses the impact of the NATO coalition air war in Libya from March to October 2011. Sponsored by then-Air Force Vice Chief of Staff, Gen Philip Breedlove, the report examines the origins, planning
