LMM is a lightweight, precision strike multirole missile designed to be fired from a variety of tactical platforms on Land, Sea and Air against a wide range of conventional and asymmetric threats.
The target set includes surface threats such as static installations, Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), asymmetric threats, fast in-shore attack craft and UAVs.
The precision guidance and low collateral damage mean that LMM is optimised for operation in an urban environment.
Border protection air threats: helicopters, light aircraft and UAVs
LMM can be deployed on a wide range of versatile launcher systems, from standalone portable launchers or integrated on rapid response high firepower RAPIDRanger vehicle system to provide a Close Range Air Defence System which can destroy threats from light aircraft, helicopters or UAVs.
The Maritime environment creates a major challenge to conventional missile in engaging Fast In-shore Attack Craft (FIAC) threats, due to their high mobility, small signature and severe background clutter. Thales unique laser beam riding enables LMM to be accurately and securely guided in these difficult conditions to defeat FIAC targets at the extended ranges need to protect our ships against their swarm tactics.
LMM possesses excellent lethality against conventional and asymmetric threats including APCs, wheeled and tracked vehicles, because of the shaped charge coupled with the pre-fragmented blast warhead, matched with the highly sensitive proximity fuze.
