RCM2, written RCM with a superscript two by MBDA, stands for Remote Carrier Multidomain Multirole Effector. MBDA places it at the intersection of missiles and drones: an autonomous system launched from another platform such as a combat or military transport aircraft, a rocket launcher or a navy ship, able to carry sensors and payloads for surveillance, electronic warfare and kinetic or non-kinetic effects, alone or in swarms. MBDA quotes a range of more than 500 kilometres, high subsonic speed, low observability and an adjustable low-level flight path, and its loitering ability lets it engage targets without satellite navigation. MBDA also describes it as the architectural basis of the Joint Fire Support Missile. MBDA lists it as in development.
