MBDA Missile Systems said Tuesday that it won a 400 million
pound ($568 million) contract to supply the U.K. with Brimstone
air-to-surface missiles, extending the use of the weapon beyond
2030.
Under the program, MBDA said it will make Brimstone missiles for
the U.K. armed forces, restoring their inventory. The missiles will
be carried by Typhoon fighter jets and are also expected to arm the
new Apache attack helicopters and Protector RPAS--remotely piloted
air systems.
MBDA is jointly owned by Airbus SE (AIR.FR), BAE Systems PLC
(BA.LN) and Leonardo SpA (LDO.MI).
