DESCRIPTION
Marte MK2/S is a helicopter-launched horizon-range anti-ship weapon. This fire-and-forget, all-weather sea-skimming missile uses inertial mid-course navigation through way-points and active-radar terminal homing in carrying out its attack. The fire control system comprises a MMCU (Marte Missile Control Unit) and a MIU (Missile Interface Unit).
The Marte MK2/S medium-range anti-ship weapon system belongs to the Marte MK2 missile system family and is designed to be used on fast jets and new-generation naval versions of European AW101 and NH90 helicopters for operation against naval targets.
