Britain’s Ministry of Defence said on Sunday 21 Jan
it would spend 405 million pounds ($514 million) to upgrade a missile system
now being used by the Royal Navy to shoot down hostile drones over
the Red Sea.
The Sea Viper Air Defence system will be upgraded with missiles featuring a new warhead and
software enabling it to counter ballistic missile threats, the MoD said in a
statement.
The contracts were awarded to the British division
of MBDA, a missiles joint venture owned by Airbus AIR.PA, BAE
Systems BAES.L and Leonardo LDOF.MI, the MoD said.
“As the situation in the Middle East worsens, it is vital that we adapt
to keep the UK, our allies and partners safe,” defence minister Grant Shapps
said in the statement.
“Sea Viper has been at the forefront of this, being
the Navy’s weapon of choice in the first shooting down of an aerial threat
in more than 30 years.”
U.S. and British naval forces in the Red Sea have shot drones and missiles
fired by Yemen’s Houthi movement this month as the conflict between Israel and
Hamas spilled out into the broader region.
