Ship fires missile

Concept design BMT Venator® launches MBDA CAMM (Common Anti-Air Modular Missile) against incoming threat [no captions].

Venator is a concept design for a reconfigurable minor warship developed by independent whole warship design house BMT Defence Services Ltd. Working in collaboration with MBDA, BMT has examined the feasability of equipping the Venator platform with a potent self-defence missile capability - MBDA's Common Anti-air Modular Missile system for point defence against attacking aircraft and anti-ship missiles.

That is one clever design, aren't BMT based in bath?

[NavalDesigners]

BMT Defence Services is based in Bath and Weymouth (in the UK). The BMT Group has circa 30 subsidiaries around the world.

Thanks for your observation, 95predator. A key difference between ESSM and CAMM lies in the vertical launch profile. The motor on ESSM ignites in the silo; CAMM is ejected by a gas generator so all you see is a black puff of smoke until the missile tips onto intercept azimuth when the motor ignites. The absence of hot efflux gases spilling over ship's surfaces adjacent to the silo allows naval architects to consider installing such missiles on smaller platforms, where space is tighter.

nice vid, Question i have is: Is this launch vessel, Venator; was it produced to be a contender for a project of a specific nation or aimed generically at shoe sting budget navies?

I ask as it appears to be very similar for what is envisaged for the C.3 requirement (formally part of the FSC project, to provide expeditionary MCM, AuxCombatant, Patrol, Flying the flag etc.

[NavalDesigners]

Thanks for your enquiry.

In general, the R&D work we do is often based around 'near term' future programme requirements as we understand them, as this allows us to base our thinking on real world issues. Our original concept for Venator was informed by C3 requirements for FSC, as we then understood them to be.

We also intended it as a 'vehicle' for exploring our ideas wrt RECONFIGURABILITY of a single mission vessel (as opposed to an all singing all dancing modular, multi-mission warship).

she is not the cool as the real Venator class.

Venator? Somone has been watching Star Wars!

[95predator]

looks like essm

[krhonhos]

if this is a concept is very good
