SAM system
The new MBDA Land
Ceptor surface-to-air missile
(SAM) system, which is the
replacement for the currently
deployed Rapier Field Standard
C (FSC) used by the Royal
Artillery, which has an out-of-
service date of 2020.
Land Ceptor uses the next-
generation Common Anti-air
Modular Missile (CAMM),
which is also used in the Royal
Navy’s Sea Ceptor, which has
recently completed a series of
successful trials from the Type
23 frigate HMS Argyll.
It has a maximum range of more than
25km and has been designed
not only to engage aircraft in
adverse weather conditions,
but also cruise missiles and
precision guided munitions.
