Perseus (missile)

Perseus or CVS401 Perseus (named after the Greek hero Perseus) is a stealth hypersonic cruise missile concept study being undertaken by MBDA in consultation with the Royal Navy and French Navy. The concept study was first unveiled at the 2011 Paris Air Show. CVS401 Perseus is primarily a supersonic surface-launched and submarine-launched cruise missile concept built around an advanced, agile and stealthy airframe. A joint Anglo-French project has been launched to develop the missile system formally called Future Cruise/Anti-Ship Weapon (FC/ASW) with the aim of replacing the British Harpoon and French Exocet by 2030.
