The M51.3 is the latest iteration of the M51 missile family, enhancing its characteristics with an improved third stage.
Fired from the French army’s Biscarrosse missile testing site in southwest France, the missile, which did not carry a nuclear weapon, traveled over the North Atlantic before splashing down in a remote sea area hundreds of miles from any coast.
Developed by the ArianeGroup since 2010, the M51 missile family aims to replace France’s aging M45 missile. The M51.3, in development since 2014, incorporates various enhancements, with the goal of increasing its maximum range and enabling penetration of anti-missile defenses. The modified missile has a range of 6,000 miles.
