MILAN
ADT-ER is the latest development of the combat-proven
MILAN weapon system that has already been selected
by over 40 customers around the world.
Experience gained from recent conflicts has highlighted
the need for a mobile weapon system featuring the
versatility and lethality to engage various types
of static and moving targets in both urban and open
terrains. Today’s requirements are for a weapon
that combines lethality and precision and the ability
to address all the threats confronted on the battlefield,
from the most heavily armed moving tank to alternative
targets such as fortifications and infrastructures.
Based on the concept of Semi Automatic Command to
Line Of Sight (SACLOS) with permanent Man In The
Loop (MITL) the weapon system MILAN ADT-ER complies
with the increasingly complex rules of engagement
under which regular forces are required to operate.
The MILAN ADT firing post has an integrated thermal
imager with a video output which allows remote operation.
With two missiles, the ADT weighs less than 45kg.
The first guided firing of the missile took place
in May 2006. The first test of the complete system,
firing post and missile, took place in October 2006.
The ADT firing post was qualified by the DGA in
January 2007 followed by a successful series of
evaluation trials completed in March 2007. In December
2006, South Africa placed the first export order
for the MILAN ADT firing post with MILAN 3 missiles.
In August 2007, EADS confirmed reports that Libya
is to place an order for the MILAN ADT/ER. A contract
is expected to be signed in 2008. The MILAN ER missile
has a range extended to 3,000m and a new, multi-effect
warhead which can penetrate 1,000mm Explosive Reactive
Armour (ERA) or Rolled Homogenous Armour (RHA),
or more than 3m of reinforced concrete. A direct
attack mode has been added as well as improved anti-jamming
capability.
The firing post consists of a sighting system and
a guidance assembly mounted on a tripod. The infrared
localiser measures the angular deviation between
the missile and the line of sight to the target.
The transmission of guidance data by wire and the
new MILAN 3 CCD localiser provide jamming resistance.
The
missile is fitted to the right side of the
firing post. It has a cylindrical form.
The back side of the missile is more larger.
The missile is fixed on a launching pad.
