British defense contractor Thales Defense publishes test footage of the Martlet guided missile, which will soon go into service with the Royal Navy.
A UK Royal Navy (RN) and industry team has completed a test campaign of Thales UK Martlet missile firings from the service’s Leonardo Helicopters Wildcat HMA2 maritime rotorcraft.
Conducted between 27 April and 21 May using a test range off the West Wales coast, the activity “will enable this high-end capability to enter service with the Royal Navy later this year”, says Leonardo.
