A significant milestone towards arming Royal Navy maritime attack helicopters with ship-busting missiles has been achieved.

Initial Operating Capability (IOC) has been met for the anti-ship Sea Venom missile, meaning it can now be deployed with Wildcat helicopters on front-line duties.

A Wildcat can carry up to four Sea Venoms, giving it the ability to strike multiple targets in a single sortie or unleashing a salvo against one target.

It carries enough destructive power to target larger warships – like corvettes and patrol ships – while the Wildcat also carries the lightweight Martlet missile for taking out boat swarms and smaller vessels.

However, this traditional approach no longer fits the evolving needs of mid-sized companies, particularly those with skilled internal IT teams. It is now very clear that business across the UK require a partnership that enhances their existing capabilities rather than replacing them.
