 Welcome to Farnborough 2002: MBDA scores direct hit with ASRAAM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
With hindsight, he added, MBDA recognizes that, given the fact that this was the first in a new generation of imaging-IR missiles, the RAF would have liked the OEU to have been involved earlier in the process.
MBDA is stressing ASRAAM’s hugely increased engagement envelope compared with current weapons, partly as a result of its ability to “suck” data from aircraft-mounted radar and electro-optical sensors, and its extremely rapid reaction capability, high velocity and maneuverability in flight.
MBDA claims that, thanks to UK participation in JSF, ASRAAM is currently the only short-range air-to-air missile clearly specified for inboard weapon-bay carriage on the aircraft at service entry, and the company will later this year be making a start on integration work.
