Thales has also pitched its lightweight multi-role missile (LMM) for integration onto K50.

Also called Martlet, the LMM has demonstrable capability in surface attack and air defence and can defeat a wide variety of threats such as fast inshore attack craft (FIAC), uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) and fast jets.

Thales will perform this integration in collaboration with its industry partner MSI-Defence Systems, who is developing another lightweight launcher similar to LMM.

Thales business development executive Ivor Humphrey said: “This arrangement exemplifies Thales’ approach to partnerships and building relationships, working with unique platform capabilities to enhance offering and choices for end user.”

In April, the company received additional investments for the development of K50 maritime platform.
