Milan ER centres out to three K.

The first firing of the completed Milan ER wire-guided, land missile system was carried out in Bourges, France in October 2006. The missile performed the unprecedented feat of striking the centre of the assigned target that was placed three kilometres downrange. The

Milan ER system used included the company's new Advanced Technologies firing post and the extended range missile--both systems of which have been subjected to a series of test firings over the preceding six months. The Milan ER system is slated to be ready for evaluation by France, Germany and other interested countries by sometime in 2007.
