Successful First Test Flight for Teseo Mk 2/A Missile

On 30th May 2006, MBDA launched the first Teseo Mk2/A, a modernized version of the OTOMAT missile, at the Interforces test range in Salto di Quirra in Sardinia.

Teseo Mk2/A, equipped with a telemetric warhead, successfully fulfilled all the parameters of the test as expected. For the test firing, the missile was launched from a ramp installed on a ground platform.

After launch, the missile attained an altitude of between 100 – 120 meters. Following motor ignition, acceleration was completed with the assistance of two boosters which were released after 3.5 seconds of flight. At the end of its acceleration phase, Teseo Mk2/A returned to a cruise altitude of 20 meters above sea level.
