MBDA is carrying out a feasibility study for the UK Ministry of Defence into the possibility of integrating its dual-mode Brimstone air-to-surface missile onto the Boeing AH-64E Guardian attack rotorcraft.
The one-year sub-£10 million ($14 million) study contract was awarded to MBDA and sub-contractor Boeing on 3 September 2015, and will see a live firing test carried out in the third quarter of 2016, said David Armstrong, managing director of MBDA UK, speaking at an annual results briefing on 17 March.
