Zitat:ArianeGroup to develop M51.4 Submarine Launched Ballistic Missilehttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...c-missile/
The French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA) has awarded ArianeGroup a contract to design and produce the fourth version of the M51 submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM) known as “M51.4”. The M51.4’s enhanced range, precision and penetration capabilities will reinforce the credibility of France’s oceanic nuclear deterrent in response to evolving threats. [...]
The M51 is the new generation intercontinental SLBM which started replacing the M45 in 2010. Each missile carries six to ten independently targetable (MIRV or Multiple Independently targeted Reentry Vehicle) TN 75 thermonuclear warheads. TN 75 are being replaced with the new Tête nucléaire océanique (TNO or oceanic nuclear warhead) warheads since 2015. These new warheads are reported to be maneuverable (MARV or Maneuverable Re-entry Vehicle) in order to avoid potential ballistic defenses. The TNO has a yield that is estimated to be greater than or equal to the yield of the TN 75 warhead, 150 kilotons of TNT (kt) with a CEP (circular error probability) of 150 meters.
