Enforcer shoulder launched weapon

The Enforcer shoulder launched weapon system provides low-collateral precision effects capabilities against the threat from lightly armoured static and moving targets, targets behind cover, and against targets at long range also in urban environments. The modular design of the Enforcer system enables a range of future development options, including a prospective ‘family’ of Enforcer munitions for land, air and sea applications.

Future missile systems are prepared using a progressive converging process. This process gradually transforms a set of operational needs, industrial strategies (either government driven or internally promoted), ideas and technologies into a new solution that will provide operational value to a customer. In this process, all the environment is taken into account, and a permanent open discussion is maintained between the technical and commercial levels and with the customers. MBDA is going beyond imagination, fostering a mindset and creating an operational context, with its Concept Visions. The company is engaging with customers about their needs in future conflicts and developing products and systems to address those. As part of MBDA’s preparation phase, the Future Systems Directorate is in charge of conducting studies that will investigate and mature new technologies, as well as develop, evaluate and select concepts and refine requirements. In the development phase, the lead is transferred to the Programmes Directorate that will be in charge of the development of the solution. Though the duration of all this process and innovation come from inside the company, ideas are also taken from suppliers, SMEs, academia or other partners and integrated into the solution building.

Enforcer has been under contract for Germany since December 2019. The contract will fulfill the German requirement for a lightweight, day/night, precision-guided weapon system with an effective range of more than 1,800 m. Resulting from a multinational MBDA development effort, Enforcer will complement the ‘Wirkmittel 90’ shoulder-launched unguided munition capability in the German Army.
