π Every ballistic capability starts with a demonstration. Discover for the first time the firing video of the ballistic munition FLP-t developed by ArianeGroup and Thales! The successful test in May with the support from the Missile Testing Division of the French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA) confirmed much more than the performance of a new rocket that represents the upper echelon of artillery systems with a range of 150 km. It marked a first building block for a new conventional ballistic strike capability that addresses a broad range of operational requirements in an evolving strategic context. Developed in less than 18 months for the versatile and interoperable Thales X-Fire launcher, the rocket munition validated ArianeGroup's ability to rapidly design, build and fly a new sovereign ballistic system while demonstrating the accuracy and reliability of its technologies The test has underscored both ArianeGroupβs ability to master the physics of long range flights with high altitude ballistic trajectories and our industrial expertise, paving the way for the B-Strike line-up that encompasses ballistic missiles ranging up to 2500 km. At ArianeGroup, this is how we build our vision for sovereign deep-strike capabilities. #RocketMakers #Defence #BStrikeLineUp
