MISTRAL ALBI is a lightweight, 360° turret, optimised for the protection of armoured or mechanised units as well as convoys and which, additionally, provides crews with an excellent level of protection. Mounted on armoured vehicles, MISTRAL ALBI has been designed to carry out all the usual air defence missions such as point defence, local area defence and, more particularly, defence of mobile units.

MISTRAL ALBI benefits from all the advantages associated with the MISTRAL missile (Fire-and-Forget, ease of operation, unrivalled kill probability).

The system is based on a lightweight foldable turret with 360° azimuth coverage, manually operated by the gunner. Two missiles are mounted on the turret, even when driving off-road. MISTRAL ALBI can be easily integrated on nearly all types of Armoured Personal Carriers or Light Armoured Vehicles. Six or more missiles can be carried on the vehicle, including two on the turret.

The system can be operated autonomously, thanks to its thermal sight (passive sectorial surveillance) and IFF or integrated to a fire control and co-ordination system such as the MCP (MISTRAL CO-ORDINATION POST) or I-MCP (Improved Missile Control Post).

Vertical Launch MICA (VL MICA) is a short range, ground based air defence system deploying the MICA fire-and-forget missile, currently the only missile in the world capable of being fitted with either a heatseeking homing head (VL MICA IR) or with an active radar (VL MICA RF).

This unique capability ensures an outstanding kill probability, even in severe IRCM-ECM environments.

Organisation of a typical VL MICA unit is based on a vehicle-mounted shelter-protected Tactical Operations Centre (TOC) also known as the Platoon Command Post (PCP). This is capable of carrying out all Command, Control and Coordination functions, including real-time engagement, mission planning, system monitoring and connection with the higher level of command.

The TOC remotely controls a tri-dimensional radar mounted on a separate vehicle and three to six vertical launcher units also mounted on vehicles.

The VL MICA system design ensures ease of deployment, facilitates integration within a global air defence network, minimizes the need for personnel and reduces the logistic footprint and Life Cycle Cost.


Characteristics

• Weight: 112 kg
• Length: 3.1 m
