Le Meteor (BVRAAM) est un missile air-air à longue portée de conception européenne, en service depuis le 11 juillet 2016. In September 1998, Raytheon supplied the UK with estimated costs for AIM-120B AMRAAMs to be fielded on Tornado and as an interim weapon on Eurofighter on initial entry into service while BVRAAM was still in development.

The missile debris was recovered and the air intakes were found to be still closed.[63]. Germany's decision to reduce its intended acquisition resulted in the UK taking 5% of the programme from Germany, giving the UK 39.6% and Germany 16%. In December 2003 MBDA and Saab Bofors Dynamics signed an enabling contract worth 485m kronor covering programme management, system level participation, participation in the development of seeker, guidance, and autopilot algorithms, development of missile software, development of test equipment, system proving activities, and the TBUS. The first trial of a flight standard functional seeker was carried out on 30 June 2006. The gas generator contains an oxygen deficient composite solid propellant which produces a hot, fuel-rich gas which auto-ignites in the air which has been decelerated and compressed by the intakes. Consideration is also being given to using Rafale or a modified Tornado F3.

Meteor has been developed by a group of European partners led by MBDA to meet the needs of six European nations: the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Sweden.

Cependant la portée du missile peut varier en fonction des conditions du tir et du contexte de l'engagement. The Meteor programme sees the UK, Sweden, France, Germany Italy and Spain unite to provide access to technology and expertise across Europe. The weapon system will equip Eurofighter Typhoon, Rafale and Gripen. Elles permettent de vérifier les performances de l'arme dans des scénarios opérationnels et de déterminer la doctrine d'emploi du nouvel équipement.

[45] However, there were concerns that this meeting might not even happen until after the German elections on 22 September which would push a decision to the last quarter of the year. To demonstrate successful transition from boost to sustain propulsion.

MBDA The gas generator is ignited by the hot gases from the booster combustion which flow through the open control valve.

[16] BAe brokered an agreement whereby it would lead the team. The antenna is mounted in the rear of the fairing. Thrust is controlled by a valve which varies the throat area of the gas generator nozzle.

The UK would have participated in the production of every AMRAAM-derivative sold around the world, projected at that time to be about 15000 over the following 15 years.[32]. The reduced smoke propellant complies with STANAG 6016.

Meteor is a next generation, active radar-guided, beyond visual range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) system.

[75], With Eurofighter and Gripen, it is a two-way datalink, which will be able to transmit missile information such as functional and kinematic status, information on multiple targets, and notification of target acquisition by the seeker.[76]. On 5 September 2006 the third and final ALD firing was successfully conducted. We continue to strengthen our presence in key markets, develop innovative solutions and acquire companies in prioritized areas. En 1994, le Royaume-Uni envisage un successeur aux missiles air-air alors en service. The Meteor team had considered an interim design, also powered by a dual-pulse solid rocket motor,[19] but decided to offer a fully compliant solution, believing that the staged approach was not cost-effective due to concerns that upgrading from one version to the next would be more complicated than Raytheon claimed.

[62] The design of the FAS is complicated by the linkages required between the actuators, which are located in the intake fairings, and the body-mounted fins. Meteor is an active radar guided beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) being developed by MBDA.

Thales, Roxel et Saab participent aussi au programme. L'Espagne a commandé 100 unités pour les Typhoon de l'Ejército del aire. When the bids went in it was anticipated that a contract would be awarded at the end of 1997 with first deliveries by 2005. The first firing, from Gripen, was expected in 2005 with an in service date of August 2012. Son utilisation sera privilégiée pour l'attaque à 100 km de cibles de haute valeur telles que des avions radar ou des ravitailleurs, ou, pour les forces armées françaises, pour la protection d'un raid nucléaire de Rafale F3[12].

Le missile avait déjà fait l'objet de plusieurs vols et tirs d'essais puis de qualification réalisés par la DGA.

The trials went so well that they were concluded a day earlier than planned. Sa taille et ses interfaces le rendant totalement compatible avec les missiles de génération antérieure (MICA, AMRAAM). The results of the PDRR programme were expected in March 1998 but the procurement became ensnared in the run-up to and aftermath of the UK General Election in May 1997, as the new Labour government conducted its Strategic Defence Review.
Meteor will be 'network-enabled'. Connexion | Inscription, Rafale : Premiers tirs d'expérimentation du missile Meteor, Meteor est un missile air-air longue portée. The air intakes and the port covers which seal the intake diffusors from the ramcombustor remain closed during the boost phase. Les deux appareils ont décollé de la base aérienne de Cazaux. These data will be used in support of the third Key Milestone.

The direct intervention of the U.S. President emphasised the political and diplomatic significance that the BVRAAM procurement had acquired. In August 2004 Bayern-Chemie delivered the first inert PSS, to be used for structural testing, amongst other things.[60]. [67] Eurofighter claims that the Block 8 aircraft, scheduled for delivery from 2007, will be fully compatible with Meteor but the CAPTOR radar will not be integrated with Meteor's datalink, requiring an additional processor card. En décembre 2002, après de longues tractations, un contrat est officiellement signé entre MBDA et l'Agence britannique d'achat de défense (Defense Procurement Agency (en))[2] ainsi que six pays européens (l'Allemagne, l’Espagne, la France, l'Italie, le Royaume-Uni et la Suède), afin de réaliser ce missile air-air longue portée. [61] This was in preparation for a week-long series of trials from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle which commenced on 11 December 2005 in the Mediterranean.

Il a aussi été commandé par l'Allemagne et l'Espagne pour leurs Typhoon. Advanced radar-guided BVRAAM with the greatest no-escape zone, Autonomous, even in harsh EW environments, High-speed and long-range using ramjet propulsion, Meteor’s operational range is more than 100 km.

Lequel a été qualifié fin 2018. Think of the Meteor more as an air-to-air cruise missile than as a traditional guided air-to-air rocket. [10] The Matra/LFK proposal was based on Matra's MICA-Rustique project using a Matra/ONERA designed self-regulating solid fuel ramjet.

The competition commenced in June 1995 with the endorsement of SR(A)1239 by the Equipment Approvals Committee (EAC). [17] This tie-up avoided a dangerous division in the European attempts to provide a credible alternative to the U.S. Matra and LFK had already teamed and would have bid independently, had BAe's "shuttle diplomacy" failed, seriously denting European credibility and giving Hughes the advantage. [49] The £1,200 million fixed-price contract only covered production for the RAF - no other nation had signed up at that time.[2]. Le premier vol captif a été réalisé sur un Rafale Marine F2 à Istres (France) en septembre 2005 et les premiers essais de catapultage/appontage ont eu lieu en décembre de la même année sur le porte-avions Charles de Gaulle[14].

The development programme will make large use of computer simulation and so should require a relatively small number of firings, some of which will cover activities more traditionally associated with aircraft-integration trials. Countering Raytheon's proposed transatlantic tie-up, Boeing was added to the European team,[34] to provide expertise on aircraft integration, risk management, lean manufacturing technology and marketing activities in selected markets.

As a consolation prize[citation needed] the UK ordered a number of AIM-120s to arm Eurofighter on entry into service which was expected before Meteor development was complete. [9] Hughes' initial offering for SR(A)1239 was powered by a variable-flow ducted rocket (VFDR). As the RBS15 was developed to help defend the small and neutral Sweden, with a strategic location and very close proximity to potential aggressors, it is perfectly suited to any country in the Baltic region. Negotiations to conclude a smart procurement contract continued.

Meteor’s stunning performance is achieved through its unique ramjet propulsion system – solid fuel, variable flow, ducted rocket.
