Stand-off moves

Article Abstract:

The increasingly competitive area of stand-off air-to-surface missile development, production and sales has made significant progress with two developments. The first involves Matra BAe Dynamics' successful bid for the Italian Air Force's Storm Shadow System contract. The deal involves the development, production and delivery of an unspecified number of missiles as well as the related ground support equipment and in-service support. The second development involves an agreement signed by France, Italy and the UK to jointly develop, produce and deploy air launched, land attack, stand-off missiles.
