		On 9th May, Meteor prime contractor MBDA conducted the first firing while the second took place on 20th June, completing the first two of a series of scheduled firings aimed at gathering data on the missile's performance and its characteristics during launch and free flight.
		MBDA is the prime contractor for the METEOR missile programme and has established the METEOR team with Saab Bofors Dynamics of Sweden and INMIZE of Spain as its partners.
		METEOR is being developed to meet the requirements of six European nations for a superior Beyond Visual Range missile system with the operational capability to dominate the air battlespace, excelling in all future combat scenarios and capable of being integrated on Europe's major platforms, Eurofighter Typhoon, Gripen and Rafale.

		MBDA is the prime contractor for The METEOR Program, part of a multinational defence agreement signed in December of 2002 by its six member countries, which include the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Spain.
		METEORâs key features include stealthy launch, enhanced propulsion system motor performance, and robust countermeasure capabilities all made possible by the increased sophistication of the algorithm system which controls missile guidance, navigation, airframe, propulsion and RF signal processing.
		METEOR is equipped with a variable flow ducted ram-rocket propulsion system that ensures longer engagement ranges and higher sustained missile speeds than current medium range missiles.

	MBDA Meteor - BVRAAM
		Final proposals from both Meteor and FMRAAM were given to the MoD in September 1999.
		Meteor comprises of essentially four sections; radome, missile electronics and fuze, warhead and rocket ramjet enclosed within a stealthy, low drag, lightweight body.
		The FMRAAM system (which has lost out to Meteor as the ABVRAAM solution) proposed by Hughes (now part of Raytheon) of the United States teamed with Shorts Missiles of Britain and Aérospatiale and Thomson-Thorn of France was a significantly enhanced variant of AMRAAM.

	MBDA Meteor
		Meteor is an active radar guided beyond-visual-range air to air missile (BVRAAM) being developed by MBDA to equip the Eurofighter Typhoons of the UK's Royal Air Force (RAF), Germany's Luftwaffe, Spain's Ejército del Aire and Italy's Aeronautica Militare Italiana, the Dassault Aviation Rafales of France's Armée de l'Air and the Saab Gripens of Sweden's Flygvapnet.
		MBDA is looking at the feasibility of reducing the fin span by a few millimetres and modifying the air intakes for compatibility with the air-to-air stations.
		MBDA is also looking to exploit its ongoing investment in the high-speed Meteor airframe and platform integration with derivatives for other roles, including air-to-surface strikes against time-critical targets such as self-propelled SAM systems, self-propelled air-defence radars, mobile command posts, and ballistic-missile transporter/erector/launchers.

		MBDA quietly admits that the mid-section wing surfaces found on the 'original' design were included to reassure conservative onlookers that the weapon's design was safe and workable.
		With the approval of the PDR now in hand, MBDA is cutting metal for a full-scale model in readiness for a missile/aircraft fit trial, together with a sub-scale model for aerodynamic wind-tunnel tests scheduled for this autumn.
		While MBDA says that the level of launch aircraft capability is not of great importance, the Gripen will be by far the most operationally mature of the proposed Meteor platforms.

	FLUG REVUE April 2003: Air-to-air missiles for Eurofighter
		The Meteor, which can travel at up to Mach 4, will guide itself following target designation, although it will also be possible to update the guidance system via a data link to the aircraft.
		Meteor is a joint venture programme led by the MBDA company (Matra BAE Dynamics/Alenia Marconi Systems), which has plants in the United Kingdom, France and Italy.
		This does not include the order of 600 missiles for delivery from 2008 or integration of Meteor into Eurofighter, which is expected to cost half a billion euros, of which Germany's share is Euro146 million.
