Brimstone is an air-launched ground attack missile developed by MBDA for Britain’s Royal Air Force. It was originally intended for fire and forget use against mass formations of enemy armour using a millimetre wave (mmW) seeker to ensure accuracy even against moving targets. Experience in Afghanistan led to the addition of laser guidance in the dual-mode Brimstone missile allowing a man in the loop to pick out specific targets when friendly forces or civilians were in the area.
