MBDA

MBDA is bringing its expertise in weapon systems alongside U-Space Nanosatellites as part of the #TOUTATIS project, presented during the Space Defence and Security Summit #SDSS by Novaspace (Merger of Euroconsult & SpaceTec Partners). The Agence de l'innovation de défense, notified U-Space and MBDA of a Low Earth Orbit Action Demonstration for the Commandement de l'Espace. The TOUTATIS project includes two satellites, LISA-1 and SPLINTER. Our contribution will be focused on SPLINTER, a satellite with high manoeuverability, autonomous proximity, and engagement capabilities. DGA - Direction générale de l'armement

The defence industry is driven by #innovation. In order to live up to the new challenges faced by our armed forces, and build a safer future, our collaborators at MBDA foster research through new methods, including #AI and #Data. Meet our two experts, discussing artificial intelligence and data robustness and quality.

At this year's Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition event in Melbourne, we showcased our dedication to enhancing Australia’s sovereign defence #capabilities and advancing guided weapons and explosive ordnance (GWEO) technologies. 🚀 With our established presence in Canberra and Adelaide, MBDA is mission ready to supporting the Australian Defence Force (ADF) by fostering domestic #innovation for a sustainable #defenceindustry 🛡️

Innovation at MBDA relies on cutting-edge technologies, including #AI and #Data, to drive the future of defence, offering stronger, more secure, and collaborative solutions for the armed forces. Discover the interview of our expert who delves into AI algorithms and their application in daily activities at MBDA.

👩🔬 Discover the CLEE project led by the company Alysophil MBDA, with support from Inria to create the fuels of tomorrow used to propel missiles. The objective: to maximize the energy provided by the #fuel, ensure its future availability, and thus enhance the performance of MBDA’s defence systems. 🚀

Discover #Brimstone, our ground and air launched fire-and-forget missile 🪖✈️ The Brimstone missile is the only surface attack system that can be fired by any platform: fast jets, surface vehicles, helicopters, naval vessels and UAVs.

MBDA has invested in the acquisition of cameras to accelerate the use of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques in its suite of measurement tools. 👨💻 Discover how we work with the start-up EikoSim to facilitate the integration of these techniques into our processes, especially in the testing phases. #OpenInnovation

#HWIL, short for ‘Hardware in the Loop’, enables MBDA to test the core functions of its missiles before deployment. While these key technologies require significant investments, they also promote: • Strong Collaboration within International HWIL Capability community to optimize testing facility costs and simulations 🌐 • Standardization of HWIL core simulation functions globally to ensure consistency and reliability across all testing platforms. • Advanced scenario simulation through Electro-Optical and Radio Frequency capabilities for realistic scene representation. • Digitalization, enabling detailed performance evaluations. • Complementary in missile system validation with Numerical Simulation and real Flight Trials. 🚀 Innovations are in the DNA of HWIL teams, not only to improve MBDA’s efficiency but also to push the boundaries of what's achievable in #aerospacetechnology.

Farnborough International came to an end a week ago, and we’re already nostalgic! Watch our throwback video and get to see the key moments of the event 🎬 Congratulations to every collaborator who worked on the smooth running of the show, and who contributed to extending our impact as European leader in the #defence industry. The Farnborough Airshow 2024 was an opportunity for us to showcase our ability to be battle-ready for the new challenges of air defence.

🔥 MBDA is proud to share the introduction of the VL MICA system in France for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games! As France gears up to host this monumental event, ensuring #AirSecurity is paramount. Hence, this contract for the Paris Olympics, developed in close collaboration with the DGA - Direction générale de l'armement and the Armée de l’air et de l’espace, represents a major success for MBDA. Discover the advantages and challenges of implementing #VLMICA’s surface-to-air system, a robust ground protection bubble, capable to identify and engage any threats that arise. #Olympics2024
