MBDA is pushing deeper into long-range strike capabilities with the introduction of its Naval Cruise Missile–Land Cruise Missile (NCM-LCM) MK2, a next-gen weapon designed to strike targets more than 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) away.
Beyond its extended range, the missile features a new anti-jamming capability designed to help it operate in electronically contested environments.
It also incorporates improved stealth and flight performance to increase survivability and effectiveness against defended targets.
The NCM-LCM MK2 builds on MBDA’s combat-proven Naval Cruise Missile (NCM), pairing it with a new ground-launch system derived from the company’s existing naval launcher architecture.
It is designed for rapid deployment from austere positions, with crews able to ready four missiles for launch in less than 15 minutes.

The NCMs are MBDA’s legacy systems, which have already seen operational service with the French Navy.
It provides a deep-strike capability that can be launched day or night during maritime operations.
Although primarily designed for surface ships, the NCMs can also be launched from submarine torpedo tubes, allowing long-range strikes from beneath the sea.
