Britain and France seek new missile systems


(MENAFN) Britain's House of Commons and the French National Assembly have launched their first ever joint inquiry into future anti-ship missile systems.

The examination will evaluate the future cruise/anti-ship weapon (FC/ASW) program that was launched by a bilateral agreement signed by the two neighboring countries in March 2017.

A new generation of missiles that the two countries intend to jointly develop by 2030, will replace the current Exocet, Harpoon, SCALP and Storm Shadow missiles.

The move is part of deepening collaboration between the defense committees of Britain and France.
