History
Akeron LP (formerly MHT/MLP) is the cornerstone of MBDA's new Akeron family in the long-range ATGM segment, intended to replace HOT on Tigre helicopters and new platforms by the late 2020s.
It combines an uncooled IIR seeker, a fiber-optic datalink and fire-and-forget / LOAL modes with man-in-the-loop rerouting, reaching targets up to 20 km in a top-attack profile.
