MBDA has been awarded a contract to supply MBDA’s Seawolf Block 2 naval anti-missile system and submarine-launched Exocet SM39 anti-ship missiles to the Chilean Navy.
The Seawolf missiles will equip the navy’s ex-Royal Navy Type 22 frigate (Almirante Williams) and three Type 23 Duke Class frigates, due to be transferred from the Royal Navy to the Chilean Navy over the next few years. The Exocet SM39 missiles will be supplied for deployment from the new Scorpene class submarines. The Chilean Navy will operate two Scorpene Class SSK submarines and SM39 will form an important part of the armament alongside the normal torpedo complement.
Jean-Pierre Talamoni, MBDA’s Sales and Business Development Director, said: "This is an extremely significant contract for MBDA from the Chilean Navy as this marks a "first" for MBDA in securing an export contract covering two weapon systems, one from the UK and the other from France, under a single procurement process. This demonstrates our achievement as a company to work with our customers as a truly multi-national organization."
