Description:
The combat-proven Exocet is a sea-skimming, subsonic, fire-and-forget, anti-ship missile. It entered service in 1975 with the French Navy. The guidance system consists of an inertial navigation system and an active radar seeker for the terminal phase. Exocet features a 165 kg shaped charge warhead.
It is one of the most popular anti-ship missiles in the western hemisphere. More than 3,300 Exocet missiles have been produced for 33 countries.
The MM40 is an ECCM-protected, ship-launched, increased in length, long range version of the Exocet missile enabled to engage over the horizon targets. The MM40 features a better performance in heavy countermeasures ECM environments. MM40 missiles received upgrades from Block 2 program breakthroughs.
