Thales targets LMM exports as it launches new UK technology strategy

Thales is focusing on expanding its sales of the UK-produced lightweight modular missile (LMM) due to increased demand driven by the war in Ukraine, which began in early 2022. The company highlights the significance of international sales for sustaining production at its Belfast facility. Thales has substantially boosted output of the defensive weapon following the conflict’s onset. Specifically, the LMM is currently utilized by British forces and has been exported to unspecified locations. This strategic shift reflects a new technology strategy initiated by Thales, emphasizing export opportunities for this critical defense system.
