History

MBDA developed CAMM as a successor to Sea Wolf and Rapier, sharing its seeker with the Meteor air-to-air missile. Vertical cold-launch and datalink enable 360° engagements without a dedicated illuminator.

Adopted by the Royal Navy as Sea Ceptor on Type 23/26/31 and by the British Army as Sky Sabre; selected by Poland for the Narew program (S-125 replacement).
