Lightweight Multiple Launcher – Next Generation (LML NG)

Manoeuvrability for the Modern Soldier

The Lightweight Multiple Launcher - Next Generation (LMLNG) system is extremely flexible and is designed to suit a wide range of missions, from lightweight rapid reaction roles to air droppable operations.  It can be used on a tripod or vehicle mount and support swift deployment of STARStreak or the Lightweight multirole missile (LMM).

The LMLNG employs two missile-enabling targets to be engaged in quick succession. The LMLNG provides 24hr capability based on TV and thermal imaging cameras and a stabilised laser guidance system allows nightly accurate target engagement using either manual or automatic target tracking (ATT) modes.

The Lightweight Multiple Launcher - Next Generation (LML-NG) provides a cost effective multi-engagement capability against a wide range of threats. The system can be used on a tripod or vehicle mount and supports swift deployment of STARStreak or the Lightweight Multirole Missile (LMM). The system is designed to suit a wide range of missions from lightweight rapid reaction roles to air droppable operations. The command and control (C2) information can be displayed to both the commander and the operator. 

Soldier-portable system

For portability, the LML-NG is made up of three separate parts; the tripod, the head assembly and the sensor assembly. The system is prepared for operation simply by erecting the tripod, fitting the head assembly, mounting sensor assembly and putting the missiles into position. The total assembly can be completed in a few minutes and is instantly ready for firing.
The systems improved architecture supports linkages to C2 networks for radar or passive surveillance sensors, enabling target detection and acquisition.
