MILAN is a portable medium-range, anti-tank weapon manufactured by Euromissile, based in Fontenay-aux-Roses in France. Euromissile is a consortium originally set up by Aerospatiale-Matra of France and DaimlerChrysler Aerospace of Germany, now a subsidiary of the EADS company.
The missile system activities of Aerospatiale Matra have been merged with Matra BAE Dynamics and Alenia Marconi Systems to form MBDA. The system has also been built under licence by Bharat Dynamics in India.
The system was developed for the French and German Armies and over 360,000 missiles and 10,000 launch units have been produced since 1972. MILAN is in service in 41 countries.
MILAN 3, armed with a tandem warhead with a new firing post with jam-resistant pulsed-beacon infrared guidance, has been in production since 1996 and has been ordered by France, Cyprus and two other armies.
In December 2008, India ordered a further 4,100 MILAN 2T missiles from Bharat Dynamics, continuing the company’s licence agreement for another four years.
