The Perseus project (CVS401 PERSEUS) is a promising universal RCC of the 21st century
MULTI-PURPOSE UNIVERSAL heavy strike complex of long-range weapons for 2030 and for a deep perspective. Designed for land and sea-based.
Steve Wadey, MBDA Executive MBDA UK
"Perseus CVS401 is an ideal synthesis of the latest achievements and innovations expected in the near future. The ambitious project involves equipping promising sea-based platforms for 2030 g to achieve superiority at sea."
The complex is intended to replace the current generation of heavy anti-ship and cruise missiles.
The CVS401 PERSEUS system under development will be able, if necessary, to be launched from sea and land mobile platforms, submarines and patrol aircraft aviation. Universal SU will allow an attack on naval targets, stationary and mobile land objects. The modular bay of the warhead allows you to place warheads of the required power.
The system initially laid the ability to overcome the most effective means of missile / air defense. The complex is designed for tactical systems. weapons operating through complex communication links at the junction of sea, land and air combat missions.
The high-strength ultra-light composite rocket body, with a low ESR, will allow maneuvering at cruising supersonic speeds in 2,5 M.
In the manufacture of materials used increased stability at high temperatures. The spatial structure was calculated with complex computer modeling.
Engine : compact multimode straight-through solid fuel supersonic continuous combustion, on the principle of continuous wave detonation technology CDWE (fuel and oxidizer are mixed at the front of the detonation wave).
Structural scheme of fuel injection technology CDWE.
CDWE also reduces the likelihood of fuel ignition to the combustion chamber.
These unique characteristics of the burden and impulse open up the possibility of execution of the rocket body of small dimensions and starting weight, but with satisfactory parameters affecting the warhead.
CVS401 PERSEUS is a weapon to break through enemy defenses at a distance of 300 km and is effective for use against fast moving, maneuverable targets that it can reach in minutes.
Missile weight about 800kg, 5 size m. UHH coincide with the parameters Exocet (MM.38, MM.40, MM.40 Block3)that completely solves the logistical aspects and without any problems will allow placing on the existing media and adapting PU, with minimal modifications.
Extremely low flight profile: above water 2m, above ground 5m. Weight of warhead = 200 kg + 2x 40 kg.
Speed at 3M, at sea level 2M, cruising speed 2,5M
(according to some experts / Diehl Stiftung & Co. KG /, to achieve such indicators it takes at least 12 years for forced research).
In the technical specification of the concept, it is possible to carry either a warhead of increased power, or the main warhead (in the case) and two additional detachable warheads of individual guidance, in this case the CVS401 PERSEUS simultaneously acts both as a means of delivery and as an independent weapon.
This innovation will allow either to increase the area of destruction of a large object (aircraft carrier deck) or to hit a group of ships in a warrant (escort and main guarded object)
The overall effectiveness of the weapon in communication and its flight characteristics (maneuverability, speed), as well as the ability of its sensors to detect missile defense / air defense systems, EPR, and the effectiveness of the warhead were all evaluated and calculated using the latest digital modeling systems.
The command and control system of the complex will be integrated into the general combat network, target designation can be provided by its own carrier, third-party UAV, satellite, aircraft, ship, commando group.
High mobility, short delivery time, quick response to the task, variability in the power of the warhead, the ability to hit several targets simultaneously - allow the use of a rocket for counter-terrorist operations
Ultra-modern dual-mode sensors-sensors, combined in batch: AESA (AFAR radar) in combination with a laser navigation "radar" (LADAR / LIDAR) allow you to perform all weather operations with any source of external target designation. Multi-mode radar - SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and DBS (Doppler Radar) allow you to detect targets in a given range of distance.
The overall reliability of the weapon system is supported by an advanced hybrid navigation system.
According to military experts, through the 15-20 years, the main threat to the NATO navy and the targets for the complex being developed can only be the navy of Russia and China and (with a low probability) the navy of Argentina.
The rest (except for NATO member countries) contenders for dominance in the Ocean in the next 50 years are not expected.
The current favorites in the market of anti-ship missiles:
3M54E Club- M SS-N-27 "Sizzler"
L = 8,22 m D = 533 mm Starting M = 2300 kg RV = 400 kg High-explosive or cluster firing range = 220 km V flight March = 0,8 M In the target: 2,9 M Trajectory: 20-10 m
3М55 P-800 "Onyx" / "Yakhont" SS-N-26 Strobile PJ-10 "BrahMos" (PJ-10 "BrahMos")
L = 8,9 m, D = 0,7 m, Mass: 3100 kg Speed at height: 750 m / s (2,6 M), Surface speed: 2 M
Distance: along the combined trajectory (the length of the final section 40 km) - 300 km
on a low-altitude trajectory - 120 km, flight altitude 10-14000
As can be seen from the above specifications, the CVS401 PERSEUS has a significant advantage, especially in terms of the weight of warhead / launch weight, dimensions, flight profile, cassette warhead.
However, not everything is so tragic. CVS401 exists so far only, at best, on paper, an intensive stage of R & D is underway.
But you should not lose sight of the fact that all components can be reproduced at the existing technological level of technology, except for the unique engine of course ...
While there is time for an "asymmetric" response, it should be taken into account the potential of MBDA and enormous production capabilities.
MBDA (Matra BAE Dynamics Alenia) address: 37 boulevard de Montmorency 75016 Paris France.
MBDA is the only global concern capable of designing and producing missiles and missile systems, a full range of current and future operational needs of the three types of armed forces (land, sea and air).
In general, the group offers a wide range of 45 rocket attack systems and countermeasures.

Last year, at the Farnborough Air Show, it demonstrated its concept CVS 10: a family of guided combat missiles of urban areas Sniper (weighing 1kg)
and Enforcer (5 kg)
[I]In ancient Greek mythology, Perseus is the god of the seas, the winner of the Gorgon Medusa, the savior of Andromeda (later married). Sly, kidnapped Graya's 3 sisters (with three 1 eyes and a 1 tooth) and a tooth and an eye. This tooth and an eye were returned to them for winged sandals, a bag, and Aida's magic helmet (the invisible hat).
Interesting fact: in the video - the demonstrator of the CVS401 PERSEU capabilities, the anti-ship missile attacks, something similar to the promising destroyer of the USA, the Zumwalt type.
