    Vertical Launch MICA deploys the MICA fire-and- Operational advantages


    forget missile which is the only missile in the world
    capable of being fitted with either a passive IIR or • All-weather
    an active RF seeker. • Fire-and-forget

    This unique capability ensures an outstanding kill probability. The • IIR and RF seeker options
    360° system is particularly effective against saturation attacks carried • Salvo firing (1 x launcher = 4 x missiles,
    out by low signature targets such as guided bombs and missiles 4 different targets in 6 seconds)
    (including cruise missiles). VL MICA’s performance ensures area • 360° coverage (vertical launch)
