Overview
- The companies will examine a cost-focused containerised launch platform that fires Frankenburg’s rapidly produced missiles for shipboard and coastal defense.
- Engineering work will be led from the United Kingdom with the stated goal of building a sovereign capability and positioning the project for export opportunities.
- Babcock describes the concept as a scalable kinetic layer to help protect deployed forces and critical national infrastructure across Europe.
- Frankenburg markets a 60-centimeter Mark 1 guided missile designed for mass production and has reported a recent hard-kill intercept during testing in Latvia.
- No procurement, prototype, timeline, or pricing has been announced, and the effort remains in the design and exploration phase pending customer requirements.
