MBDA’s MMP (Missile Moyenne Portée / Medium Range Missile) is the newest (5th) generation multi-purpose combat missile system designed for dismounted infantry as well as for integration on combat vehicles. Its effectiveness has also been proven on small naval craft as well. Featuring both fire-and-forget or fire- and-control operation, the network-enabled MMP also receives third party target designation for indirect firing scenarios. The guided weapon is fitted with a multi-purpose warhead offering anti-armour, anti-infrastructure and Turkish Aerospace is displaying a prototype of its T625 ‘Gokbey’ helicopter at the ongoing DIMDEX.
