Martlet LMM

Martlet or the Lightweight Multirole Missile (LMM) is a lightweight air-to-surface, air-to-air, surface-to-air, and surface-to-surface missile developed by Thales Air Defence for the United Kingdom. It is named after a mythical bird from English heraldry that never roosts, the Martlet.

The LMM was developed from the Starburst surface-to-air missile to meet the UK's “Future Air-to-Surface Guided Weapon (Light)” requirement to equip the Royal Navy's AW159 Wildcat helicopters and supplement the heavier Sea Venom missile by the engagement of smaller and manoeuvrable naval craft.

A glide variant of the LMM known as FreeFall LMM (FFLMM) or Fury is designed as a lighter munition to equip drones and is currently slated to equip the British Army's Dispensing Rocket Payload for the GMLRS-ER and Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) placed an initial order for 1,000 missiles with deliveries due to start in 2013.[7] However, initial operating capability was considerably delayed and took place in 2021 with full operating capability achieved in 2025.
