RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The Brazilian Army Evaluation Center (CAEx) and the local company Siatt tested the Anti-Tank Surface-to-Surface Missile System 1.2 (MSS 1.2 AC). The event was attended by the Chief of the Army Technology Center (CTEx), Brigadier General Armando Morado Ferreira, the Chief of CAEx, Brigadier General Alexandre Martins Castilho, engineers and technicians from the company Siatt Engineering, responsible for manufacturing the system developed by CTEx, military personnel from the Brazilian Navy, and military personnel from CTEx and the Test Section of the CAEx Materials Evaluation Division.
The system is composed of ammunition (missile and launcher tube) coupled to a firing unit for aiming and firing, which make up a lightweight assembly, easy to transport, and quick to move into or out of position. The intrinsic parameters of the system in the field were tested based on the requirements of the Brazilian Army.
The MSS 1.2 AC is a laser-guided, medium-range, anti-tank, surface-to-surface missile weapon system used by troops or ground vehicles.
It provides greater portability, flexibility, and precision in combat against armored vehicles by implementing high technology by the defense and security industrial base and the Army’s Science, Technology, and Innovation System.
