Brimstone ambitions remain on target for hopeful MBDA

摘要

MBDA is hopeful its dual-mode Brimstone air-to-surface missile will be carried by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems' MQ-9 Reaper, but is waiting on requirements to prompt a new round of testing. Nine live firings were made against moving ground vehicles at the US Navy's China Lake weapons range in California during a test campaign which concluded in January 2014; all resulting in direct hits.
