MdCN Firing

The first submarine launch as part of the SCALP Naval/MdCN (Missile de Croisière Naval) programme was carried out successfully by the French DGA (Direction Générale de l'Armement) at its Ile du Levant missile test centre in the Mediterranean on 8th June 2011. Using an underwater platform simulating the launch conditions prevailing on the future Barracuda nuclear-powered attack submarine, this firing permitted all the intended test objectives to be demonstrated: the validation of the launch phase with the subsequent change of environment from water to air as well as the missile's flight. As a result, the convergence of the MdCN missile programme with those of the two launch platforms, the entry into service of the FREMM frigate in 2014 and the Barracuda submarine in 2017 has been firmly confirmed.
