The MCAV0014 Alheda is a new ground-to-ground missile launcher based on the MCAV-20 chassis.
The MCAV-20 chassis provides the missile system with the advantage of a sturdy and highly mobile platform, capable of moving swiftly and effectively across rugged terrains.
Furthermore, the chassis ensures smooth driving and high-level protection, enabling the Alheda launcher to quickly and accurately position itself to engage targets at short and medium ranges.
Its design aims to provide a high level of protection for the crew and passengers while ensuring high mobility and the ability to carry a variety of weapons systems.
The adoption of the UAE-made Calidus MCAV-20 by the Sudanese Armed Forces marks a significant milestone in their efforts to modernise their defence capabilities.
LOGIR GUIDED ROCKET
The missile in use in the vehicle is equipped with several advanced features that make it a high-performance weapon system. It is fitted with an uncooled Imaging Infrared (IIR) seeker, allowing it to detect and track targets with precision. To ensure an accurate trajectory toward the target, the missile also incorporates a MEMS-based Inertial Navigation System (INS) for real-time navigation.
The Logir missile is a significant advantage of the MCAV0014 Alheda, offering a cost-effective solution to neutralize asymmetric threats on land and at sea. With an imaging infrared seeker enabling fire-and-forget operation, the Logir missile boasts a range of over 8 km and a weight of less than 15 kg.
ALHEDA MISSILE
The Alheda missile, part of the ground-to-ground/air-to-ground family, provides extended range and enhanced accuracy against fixed and moving targets. With a maximum range of 10 km and weighing less than 37 kg, it features an advanced guidance system comprising INS (mid-course) and either Semi-Active Laser (SAL) or Image Infrared Seeker (IIR) for terminal guidance.
The missile has the capability to be equipped with different interchangeable warheads. Depending on operational requirements, it can be configured with a high-explosive warhead for strikes against conventional targets or an anti-tank warhead to counter armoured vehicles and fortified positions.
Alheda missile can also be fitted with either a semi-active laser (SAL) seeker for laser-guided attacks or an imaging infrared (IIR) seeker for engagements based on thermal signatures. This guidance versatility allows the missile to adapt to various tactical scenarios on the battlefield.
The production of the Alheda missile is undertaken by Calidus. In partnership with Tawazun Technology and Innovation (TTI), Calidus plays a vital role in the development and manufacturing of this advanced weapon system.
