Navy: Guided Weapons
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress the Royal Navy has made on developing the Common Anti-air Modular Missile.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Common Anti-Air Modular Missile continues to be a cornerstone of Air Defence for both the Royal Navy and the British Army. It remains in service on Type 23 Frigates, with programmes commenced to allow operation on Type 45, Type 26 and Type 31 platforms. Software developments have continued to improve missile performance since its introduction in 2017. A mid-life refresh programme is due to start in 2029 to extend the munitions’ availability to both Services until the late 2040s.
