France launches development of Milan replacement

Issue No. 3 | February 01-15, 2012

The French Defence Ministry’s defence procurement agency, Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA) has awarded a contract to MBDA for the risk reduction phase of the Missile Moyenne Portée (medium-range missile, or MMP) with which it intends to replace the Milan wire-guided anti-tank missile that has been in service since 1974. Launch of the programme is tentatively scheduled for late 2012.

The Milan missile is a major export success and the MMP programme will allow French and European industry to continue offering its customers a complete family of high-performance missile systems.
