MBDA Akeron MP

The Akeron MP, formerly known as MMP, is a French fifth generation man-portable anti-tank guided missile system developed by MBDA France to replace the Franco-German MILAN and the American FGM-148 Javelin. It is a fire-and-forget weapon that also offers command guidance in lock-on before launch and lock-on after launch modes, with retargeting, aim point selection and mission abort, and it carries a multi-purpose missile with selectable anti-tank, anti-infrastructure and anti-personnel modes. Range is up to 5 kilometres. It entered operational service with the French army in 2018, is designed mainly for infantry, and can also be fitted to combat vehicles and naval vessels. A longer range, air-launched sibling, the Akeron LP, is under development for the Tiger MkIII helicopter.
