British Army's New Land Ceptor SAM System Blasts Its First Aerial Target
The ground-based weapon will share components with the Royal Navy's Sea Ceptor and replace aging Cold War-era Rapier air defense systems.

CAMM (missile family)

CAMM shares some common features and components with the [U.S.] ASRAAM air-to-air missile, but with updated electronics and an active radar homing seeker. On the land domain, CAMM is known as Land Ceptor by the British Army.

This Tiny Missile Smashes Incoming Artillery Rounds, Drones, And Possibly Much More
Lockheed Martin's Miniature Hit-to-Kill interceptor is small and cheap, which could make it an attractive option to defend various platforms.

Looking more like a model rocket than an advanced kinetic interceptor, at less than two and a half feet long, approximately one and a half inches in diameter, and a total weight of around five pounds, the missile is small by any definition. For comparison, this is roughly half the physical size of and more than a pound lighter than a short-range FIM-92 Stinger surface-to-air missile.
Lockheed Martin keeps the size of the interceptor down in large part by eliminating the need for a warhead. Instead, the MHTK uses its speed and precision to physically slam into its target and destroy it, hence “hit-to-kill.” The company says the missiles can defeat artillery rockets and shells, mortar bombs, and small drones, the latter of which are becoming an increasingly likely threat to American troops in potential low- and high-end conflicts.
