The Sea Skua is a British lightweight short-range air-to-surface missile (ASM) designed for use from helicopters against ships. It is primarily used by the Royal Navy on the Westland Lynx helicopter although Kuwait uses it in a shore battery and on their Umm Al Maradem (Combattante BR-42) fast attack craft. The British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) began development of the new weapon in May 1972. The British Government authorised its production in October 1975.
