MBDA, Terma teaming puts new life into SPIMM containerised self-protection system
MBDA resumed development of its Self-Protection Integrated Mistral 3 Module through a cooperation agreement signed with Danish defence company Terma in June 2026. The containerised system, known as SPIMM, combines MBDA’s Simbad-RC4 launcher and Mistral 3 missiles with surveillance sensors and a dedicated combat management system. The package is intended for ships and land sites that need a relocatable short-range air defence system, including vessels without a built-in combat system. The agreement continues work on a concept MBDA first marketed in 2019, with the partners pursuing development of the module under the new arrangement.
