Thales UK has been selected to lead the next phase of the British Army’s MSHORAD program, focusing on developing a modern short-range air defense solution. The project aims to replace the legacy Stormer HVM platform with a more flexible and capable system designed to counter emerging aerial threats. The assessment phase will explore platform options and multi-mission launcher configurations, with completion expected by the end of the decade. Enhancements under consideration include improved firepower and integration with advanced command-and-control systems. The program reflects the UK’s commitment to strengthening its air defense network in response to evolving battlefield challenges.
