Lightweight Multirole Missile (LMM) designed as a versatile, low-cost precision weapon for engaging a wide range of targets including small fast-attack craft, vehicles, structures, and UAVs. Weight of only 13 kg with a laser beam-riding guidance system providing high accuracy and resistance to countermeasures. Can be launched from Wildcat helicopters (with a 20-round launcher), surface vessels, ground vehicles, and static emplacements. Effective range of approximately 6-8 km. Features a blast-fragmentation warhead with a proximity fuze option for air targets. Combat-proven by the Royal Navy and increasingly adopted for C-UAS roles.
