Loitering Munition Systems (LMS) combine reconnaissance and strike capabilities
in a single platform, significantly increasing firepower on the battlefields of the
future. At Eurosatory 2026, Rheinmetall has unveiled a multi launcher for its LMS FV-014, the Containerized Missile Launcher (CML).
The CML is part of Rheinmetall’s reconnaissance and strike network. It is a fully autonomous, modular, and networked weapon system designed for flexible deployment on various platforms and rapid operational readiness. It is based on a logistically highly flexible 20-foot container capable of holding up to 18 FV-014 unmanned aerial vehicles. An integrated power supply and various communication modules enable unmanned operation.
The compact dimensions of the FV-014 and advanced swarm technology allow
multiple unmanned aerial vehicles to be launched in a single salvo and controlled
simultaneously by a single operator. The unmanned aerial vehicles have a range
of up to 100 kilometers and an operational duration of up to 70 minutes.
The launcher’s open architecture is also designed for the quick and easy integration of other munitions. Furthermore, it can be adapted to a wide variety of vehicles as well as to country-specific command and control systems. The CML features an integrated fire control and communication system that enables remote launch operations with multiple secure communication options. Through the Battlesuite Interface Collection, the CML can also be easily integrated into existing command, reconnaissance, and weapon systems. T
The standardized container format makes the CML compatible with civilian and military transport systems, including ships, trains, and trucks. This facilitates mobility, covert operations, and rapid deployment. The CML can be used both as a standalone system and from vehicles, rail cars, or ships. If required, smaller systems with a reduced footprint
can also be implemented.
