At the EURONAVAL naval exhibition, ArianeGroup is showing off what could be Europe's first anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM). It is a naval adapted version of the B-STRIKE 1,000, a land-based ballistic missile developed with the support of the French Ministry of the Armed Forces. The estimated range of the missile is about 1,000 km. It is equipped with a MaRV maneuvering warhead, which allows the trajectory to be adjusted to achieve a hit accuracy of less than 10 meters, as well as to perform maneuvers to overcome the anti-missile defense systems of enemy ships in the final phase of the flight. The company's video shows that the targeting data will come from a satellite array reminiscent of the French startup Invisible Labs' system, which specializes in locating marine vessels by their electronic emissions. Guidance of the MaRV warhead in the last part of the course will be carried out by a homing warhead. The missile will also retain the ability to destroy ground infrastructure, including fortified targets, thanks to a multipurpose warhead with air detonation or delay capability. The missile can be launched from advanced vertical launch silos with a diameter of 25 inches or from a launcher based on the ground version of the B-STRIKE 1,000. In the second case, it will replace the Exocet anti-ship missile launcher. In addition, there is the possibility of launching from unmanned vehicles (USV) carried at sea, which can be deployed quickly and covertly, especially in coastal areas. This option may be of interest to some Nordic countries.
