MBDA présente Akeron, nouvelle famille de missiles de 5ème génération
MBDA présente Akeron, nouvelle famille de missiles de combat tactique de 5ème génération, comprenant les missiles MMP et MHT, désormais rebaptisés respectivement Akeron MP et Akeron LP. Selon MBDA, ces missiles constituent un « saut quantique par rapport aux armes de 3ème et 4ème génération actuellement disponibles sur le marché ». La famille de missiles Akeron « intègre les dernières technologies en termes d'imageurs multi-bandes haute résolution, d'ogives multi-effets (anti-char, anti-infrastructure, anti-personnel), de liaisons de données et d'algorithmes de guidage multi-modes basés sur des techniques d'IA. Tous ces éléments garantissent un guidage robuste et précis à n'importe quelle distance, dans toutes les conditions », souligne MBDA. Selon Janes, qui cite un représentant d'Airbus, le missile Akeron LP pourrait armer la prochaine génération d'hélicoptères d'attaque Tigre. MBDA précise que « les missiles de la famille Akeron répondent aux besoins opérationnels actuels et futurs pour le combat débarqué ainsi que depuis des plateformes terrestres, aériennes (hélicoptère, drone) et même navales ».
