This upgrade is a significant step in the spiral development of the Brimstone weapon. It introduces an insensitive munition compliant rocket motor and warhead. Together with an enhanced version of MBDA’s unique Dual Mode Semi-Active Laser/ Millimetric Wave seeker and an enhanced autopilot this significantly increases the weapon’s envelope (off-axis and maximum range).
