MBDA CAMM

Military Aircraft

CAMM, the Common Anti-Air Modular Missile, is a family of surface-to-air missiles developed by MBDA UK for the United Kingdom. It is derived from the ASRAAM air-to-air missile and shares components with it, but adds updated electronics, a soft vertical launch system and an active radar homing seeker. In the Royal Navy the point and local area defence variant, with a range of more than 25 kilometres, is part of the Sea Ceptor system that began replacing Sea Wolf on Type 23 frigates in 2018, and in the British Army it is the interceptor of the Sky Sabre system that replaced Rapier from 2021. An extended range version, CAMM-ER, was in final development with Italy and can reach targets more than 45 kilometres away.
