Germany has awarded MBDA a contract to deliver Brimstone 3 precision strike missiles for the Bundeswehr’s Eurofighter combat aircraft.
A final assembly line and a service centre for Brimstone will be set up at MBDA’s Schrobenhausen site for this purpose.
Brimstone 3 is a tactical precision strike missile that enables the forces to hit stationary and fast-moving targets with pinpoint accuracy in all weathers. Brimstone is also being integrated onto unmanned aerial vehicles such as the Eurodrone and MQ-9B and is a suitable armament option for land vehicles, helicopters and heavy remote carriers.
