MBDA and BAE Systems Hägglunds have conducted a live-fire test to demonstrate the capability of AKERON MP missile to integrate with the Combat Vehicle 90 (CV90).
The test firing was carried out at a test range in Northern Sweden and observed by the Swedish Armed Forces’ officials and representatives.
According to MBDA, the combination of CV90 infantry combat vehicle (ICV) and AKERON MP or LYNKEUS missile system provides enhanced target engagement capabilities to the soldiers in forested, urban and other contested environments.
The integrated platform includes a wide range of features, such as AKERON lock-on before launch (LOBL) mode, which allows immediate target locking, and lock-on after launch (LOAL) mode for in-flight target acquisition.
All the integrated features were tested during the recent tests.
It showcased the capability of AKERON to engage targets at a range of up to 4km, along with an additional option for conducting joint combat operation using CV90 platform with MBDA’s LYNKEUS integrated micro-uncrewed aerial vehicle for scouting.
