The MBDA representative announced this to Hartpunkt. A short period of time after MBDA Germany began mass production of the Enforcer ATGM for the German Armed Forces, the company managed to get the first export contract. The MBDA spokesman confirmed the conclusion of the first export contract for the supply of ATGM, but refused to name the customer or the volume and cost of the contract.

He also said that the missile system was ordered in the same configuration as when it entered service with the Bundeswehr, with the Dynahawk Hensoldt sight.

MBDA Enforcer

The Enforcer is a light, portable missile system developed by MBDA, working on the principle of 'fire-and-forget.' The system is designed to ensure rapid and accurate strikes on targets by assault units at a distance of up to 2000 meters.

The total weight of the Enforcer with a Dynhawk is about twelve kilograms, of which two are sight, so it can be carried and fired by one person.

The missile of this system, with a caliber of 89 mm, weighs seven kilograms. It is equipped with a two-channel seeker with infrared and television channels.

When aiming at the target, the operator can select the targeting channel as well as one of the modes for initiating the warhead - explosion upon impact or air burst. Like the NLAW, the Enforcer allows fire from cramped quarters, a major advantage in modern warfare.

According to the company, the Enforcer was able to achieve several very accurate hits during a number of tests at distances up to 2000 meters.

The published demonstration videos demonstrate a hit on a target measuring 2x2 meters located at a distance of 1500 meters.
