Mirach 40
Finmeccanica’s Selex ES business has
conducted the first flight tests
of its new Mirach 40 aerial target vehicle,
the company confirmed during IDEX 2015.
The latest in the line of Mirach air targets,
the Mirach 40 is designed to provide realistic,
high-fidelity threat simulation
at a significantly lower
through-life cost than
previous systems. This has been
achieved by modifying
the vehicle for catapult launch,
instead of using rocket-assisted
take-off. To further
save on costs, the Mirach 4uses the same proven ground station as
Mirach 100/5.SA Artillery
