LAUNCHER - NEXT GENERATION • Supports target engagement using STARStreak or LMM
The Lightweight Multiple Launcher - Next Generation • Lightweight portable system for easy deployment and
(LML-NG) provides a cost effective multi-engagement transportation
capability against a wide range of threats. The system can • Easily deployed on light vehicles
be used on a tripod or vehicle mount and supports swift • Can be linked to radar or passive sensors for
deployment of STARStreak or the Lightweight Multirole surveillance, target detection and aquisition
Missile (LMM). The system is designed to suit a wide range • Rapid into action capability
of missions from lightweight rapid reaction roles to air • Rapid reaction and re-engagement
droppable operations. • 24 hour capability
• Can be fitted with Identification Friend or Foe (IFF)
When using the STARStreak missile with its extremely fast • Field training options
time of flight, a variety of threats can be defeated from • Manual or Automatic Target Tracking modes
head on or fast crossing aerial targets, to targets such as
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and helicopters. When SPECIFICATIONS
used with the LMM a capability is provided to defeat • Weight
surface targets such as Light Armoured Vehicles (LAVs), --Tripod 15 kg
trucks and fixed installations and aerial targets such as
--Traverse Head 28 kg
UAVs. Both missiles utilise the Thales laser beam riding
--Sensor Suite 21 kg
guidance system.
• System set up time
--Two missile capability <2 minutes
The LML-NG employs two missiles, enabling targets to be
--Target detection to missile launch sequence
engaged in quick succession.
<5 seconds
For portability, the LML-NG is made up of three seperate --Re-engagement sequence <6 seconds
parts; the tripod, the head assembly and the sensor • Capability of operation in severe climate
assembly. The system is prepared for operation simply by --(-30 °C to +60 °C), NBC and EMC conditions
erecting the tripod, fitting the head assembly, mounting
sensor assembly and putting the missiles into position.
LML-NG assembly is completed in a few minutes and is
then ready for firing.
The LML-NG provides a 24 hour capability based on TV
and Thermal Imaging cameras. A stabilised Laser Guidance

system allows highly accurate target engagements, using
either manual or Automatic Target Tracking (ATT) modes.
The Systems improved architecture supports linkages to
a Command and Control network, to radar or passive
surveillance sensors for target detection and acquisition.
The command and control information can be displayed to
both the Commander and the Operator.
