	EH.Net Encyclopedia: History of the Aerospace Industry
		Because of the complexity of the designs, the reliability required of each part, and the hurry in which the missiles had to be designed and built, new management models emerged from the military and aerospace firms.
		During the 1960s, European governments allowed aircraft and missile firms to fail or consolidate into clear "national champions:" British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddely Aviation, and Rolls-Royce in Britain; Aerospatiale, Dassault, SNECMA and Matra in France; Messerschmit-Bölkow-Blohm and VFW in Germany; and CASA in Spain.
		Missiles, likewise, if derived from proven designs, were generally easy and cheap to produce.

	MBDA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MBDA is a European arms company which manufactures missiles and is the result of the 2001 merger of Aérospatiale-Matra Missiles (of EADS), Alenia Marconi Systems' missile divisions and Matra BAe Dynamics.
		The consolidation of Europe's missile companies began in 1996, when parts of Matra Defense and BAe Dynamics merged to form Matra BAe Dynamics.
		Matra BAe Dynamics represented half of Matra Hautes Technologies' missile business, the other half was Matra Missiles which became Aérospatiale-Matra Missiles when Matra merged with Aérospatiale in 1999.

		Eryx is a short-range anti-armour missile system for use by forward infantry and special forces on all terrains and in confined spaces eg urban areas.
		Fitted in the tail of the missile is an infrared beacon which emits pulses detected by the sight unit.
		The missile is thrust vector controlled, which is efficient even at low speed and allows the launching to be achieved using a small propulsion unit.

	Army Technology - POLYPHEM - Fibre Optic Guided Missile System
		The Polyphem fibre-optic guided missile is designed for strikes at long-range targets from light land vehicles and against anti-ship or land based targets from the sea in which case the missile is launched from small ships or is helicopter launched.
		The Polyphem missile system is capable of fully automatic operation, with the operator as a "man in the loop", validating the automatic selection and if necessary adjusting the final impact position to within 10cm.
		The main subsections of the missile are the infra-red sensor array and electronics, the warhead, the fuel tank and turbojet engine, the booster motor, battery, an actuator system and the fibre-optic bobbin and cable.

	Antimissile defence: the implications for European industry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The main obstacle to a missile defence system remains the ABM Treaty (on the limitation of antiballistic missile systems) which prohibits the United States and Russia from deploying national missile defence systems to protect their territory against attack from intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
		Although the space-launched kinetic projectile designed to intercept a missile in the boost phase resembles the Brilliant Pebbles project of President Reagan's Star Wars programme, the naval interceptor is an entirely new missile in terms of the kinetic performance required.
		Furthermore, China's HQ-18 missile is said to be a copy of Russia's SA-12 and to possess an antimissile capability, although this cannot be confirmed.

		The one criticism of the class was that they seemed under-armed for their size and cost, and so the Exocet missile system was installed on all ships after the first three, and those would be fitted with it at there mid-life refits (although Antelope was sunk during the Falklands conflict).
		Aerospatiale had already begun extolling the virtues of the PAAMS system as a unique multi-mission air-defence system, which uses a single active-homing missile and sensor system to fulfill the self-defence, local-area defence (over seven kilometers) and area defence (up to fifty-five nautical miles radius).
		While this caused no essential clash, the missile being capable of both missions, the radar needed to perform the area defence role (as required by the Royal Navy) would have to be of a markedly different nature to that required by the point defence role (France and Italy).

	France will modernise its Exocets - Jane's Military Aerospace News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		France is to modernise a batch of 50 MM39 Exocet anti-ship missiles, replacing the existing solid-propellant rocket motor with a new powerplant.
		Last year, Aerospatiale Matra Missiles warned users of the MM38 that the Angouleme plant where these motors are manufactured was likely to close due to declining orders.
		In the oldest missiles, this hardware reflects the technologies of the late 1960s, and the guidance systems are thus fairly primitive compared to those in current missiles.

		When the British decision to drop out of the Trigat programme - ironically the nation that had the requirement for the largest number of firing posts and missiles - on the last week day of the Farnborough Air Show, it became clear that the five-nation anti-tank missile programme had breathed its last.
		Aerospatiale Matra Missiles, however, had a card up its sleeve.
		Being now driven by one country with which Germany might, or could, join forces, plus the easy adaptation of the Milan firing post to fire the new missile are factors that, on paper at least, make the equation plausible.
