Defense News ,Poland :- Arms company MBDA is helping Poland protect its navy by adding special missiles to its Miecznik-class frigates. These frigates, designed by Babcock, will be equipped with MBDA’s Sea Ceptor naval air defense system. This system is like a shield that defends the ships from fast anti-ship missiles and unmanned surface vessels.
The missiles are part of MBDA’s Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAMM) family. They will be launched from Mk41 Vertical Launching Systems, which helps keep more of them ready and the ships safer.
Not only Poland but also other countries like Brazil, Canada, and Sweden use these CAMM missiles for short-range defense.
Developing the CAMM System
This plan started in 2022 when Poland and the UK agreed to work together on developing weapons. They created the CAMM system to help Poland defend its ground and navy better, especially with tensions rising in the area.
In a big deal worth 4 billion pounds (about $4.89 billion), Poland got the technology to make over 1,000 of these missiles with an extended range. They also received more than 100 iLaunchers for their armed forces. Sweden also liked these missiles and decided to use them for their Visby-class corvettes.
