Images transmitted via the datalink to the aircrew were used during the terminal phase to manually refine the aim point. The missile then followed the designated point and hit the target \u201cwith a very high degree of accuracy,\u201d according to MBDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missile, measuring 240 pounds and 8.2 feet long, carries a 66-pound warhead, which it can deliver at high subsonic speed to an estimated range of 12 miles. The precise range is unknown, but MBDA has said in the past that it can be launched from beyond the reach of most modern air defense systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2017\/07\/05\/france-successfully-fires-sea-venom-missile\/\" target=_blank>Two earlier firings of the missile <\/a>demonstrated its lock on after launch (LOAL) and lock on before launch (LOBL) capabilities, as well as its low-altitude sea-skimming flight and autonomous guidance capabilities using images from its uncooled imaging infrared seeker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sea Venom, known in France as ANL (for anti-navire l\u00e9ger or lightweight anti-ship), is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2020\/03\/05\/to-combat-the-china-threat-us-marine-corps-declares-ship-killing-missile-systems-its-top-priority\/\" target=\"_blank\">anti-ship missile <\/a>designed specifically to be fired by the French Navy\u2019s future Gu\u00e9pard Light Joint Helicopter (or HIL \u2013 H\u00e9licopt\u00e8re Interarm\u00e9es L\u00e9ger) and the U.K. Royal Navy\u2019s AW159 Wildcat to replace the Sea Skua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missile is designed to attack hostile vessels, ranging in size from small fast-moving craft up to corvette sized ships \u201camongst civilian assets, even in congested littoral environments\u201d MBDA says. It can also engage static land-based coastal targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sea Venom was launched from a Dauphin helicopter flying nearly as low as is possible for
