MBDA, In response to the growing interest for a lightweight and quick reaction naval surface-to-surface missile system for littoral operations, MBDA is introducing Marte Mk2/N, the ship-launched variant of the Marte Mk2 family of anti-ship weapon systems.
Marte Mk2/N, with its operational range in excess of 30 km will provide navies with a complementary capability to the longer range anti-ship missiles such as Exocet and Otomat. It is optimised for operations within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and to deal with low intensity naval warfare against a wide variety of low and high value targets.
The Marte Mk2/N missile is identical to the helicopter-launched variant, Marte Mk2/S, currently in its final phase of qualification on the EH101 and NH90 helicopters and is planned to enter service with the Italian Navy in the period 2007-2008.
