MBDA has initiated a further development programme for its Dual-Mode Brimstone (DMB) missile for the purpose of fielding the weapon in a new anti-surface warfare maritime role.rnInitial trials have already been conducted to evaluate the DMB's effectiveness against fast inshore attack craft (FIAC). MBDA said expressions of interest have been received from potential customers in the Middle East and elsewhere, who are concerned about a threat to shipping, oil and gas platforms or other coastal infrastructure from swarming FIAC attacks.rnThe DMB is a modified version of MBDA's Brimstone missile, originally produced as a radar-guided autonomous anti-armour weapon.
