France picks MBDA-Safran combo to supply multiple rocket launcher

France has selected a consortium of Safran and MBDA to supply domestically produced multiple-rocket launchers and munitions, rejecting competing offers from Thales, ArianeGroup, Lockheed Martin, and Hanwha Aerospace. The decision aims to replace aging M270-based systems by 2030, with Safran and MBDA planning to deliver the first systems in 2029, featuring a 150 km-range Thundart munition.
