CAMMCOMMON ANTI-AIR MODULAR

MISSILE

AIRLANDSEA

CAMM, Next Generation, All-Weather, Air Defence Weapon is common to Land, Sea and Airapplications. Through the use of new advanced technologies it is able to provide completeprotection against all known and projected air targets.

This common solution will meet the air defence needs of future land, sea and air operations. Theweapon is being developed for the UK MOD as the principal air defence capability for its Frigatesand Deployed Land Forces.

Customer benefits available from a common solution utilised across multiple platforms/services:

• Weapons System Modularity via use of common components

• Time Frame of availability for sea and land requirements from 2015

• Target Set capability against the full threat spectrum, presenting high speed, manoeuvre, lowsignature and countermeasures to simpler or asymmetric threats attempting saturation attacks

• Affordable due to low procurement and through-life ownership costs

• Effective operation via a variety of surveillance sensor types

• Command and Control system common to all surface deployments

• Integration is simple for existing platforms and force structures

• Opportunity for shared CAMM missile stockpiles between the Army and Navy

• High rate of fire against multiple simultaneous targets

• Maximised packing density of missiles in space available

• Compatible with any 3D surveillance sensor for targeting

• 360° coverage in all engagement sectors

• Wide air target set and also small naval surface craft targets

• All-weather Active RF Seeker

• Compact two-way data link

• Third party targeting

• Soft Vertical Launch technology for minimum launch signature andhigh performance

• Minimal logistic support required

• Minimal periodic weapon system maintenance required

MaritimeCAMM will operate from the SYLVER and Mk41 launchers using a quad-pack configuration tomaximise packing density or for smaller ships, various flexible canister configurations areavailable. The Soft Vertical Launch technique reduces system mass and eases installation onto avariety of platforms. The Command & Control System is designed to enable rapid integrationwith both new and existing naval combat systems where they are used.

CAMM does not require a dedicated Tracking Radar and instead utilises ship target indicationdata provided by its surveillance radar to offer high levels of protection in both open and littoralenvironments. This represents an acquisition cost saving in addition to ongoing support costs.CAMM will replace the Royal Navy’s currently in-service VL Seawolf missile, to provide a greatercapability for a reduced cost.

LandCAMM also offers future land forces, a highly effective and deployable, local-area air defencesystem, capable of operating as either a stand-alone unit or integrated within a future battlespace network. The system deployment can be optimised to defend specific assets or areas andto defeat specific threat types.

CAMM operates within a flexible architecture so enabling integration with a range of battlespace configurations to provide a Network-Enabled Capability. The use of third party targetinformation from the wider battle space network allows CAMM to engage targets that are nonLine-Of-Sight from the local launcher or sensors.

With Soft Vertical Launch technology, CAMM provides a true 360° air defence capability andenables the rapidly relocatable launcher to operate from concealed locations against the threatspectrum. The efficient packing density of CAMM canisters enables the entire weapon system,including a large number of missiles, to be carried and operated from a pallet on a conventional4-tonne vehicle, or dismounted if required. CAMM is planned to replace the UK’s currentlyin-service Rapier GBAD system.

AirCAMM is easily adapted for air launch from fighter aircraft with modular seeker options and thelatest datalink technology, CAMM offers a next generation air-to-air capability.
