Introduction

Moog’s Flexible Mission Platform (FMP) is a modular, mission-agnostic weapon and sensor turret designed to allow a wide range of missiles, rockets, and effectors to be integrated onto almost any carrier platform. First demonstrated at LANDEURO 2025, the FMP is designed to be “platform, mission, and missile agnostic,” enabling deployment from vehicles, trailers, containers, static sites, or naval platforms while maintaining a consistent core architecture.

The system is designed for rapid adaptability and integration, supporting both pedestal and yoke configurations, stabilisation for firing on the move, and 360° rotation with high-speed elevation and traverse. It can incorporate a range of payloads including anti-tank missiles, counter-UAS interceptors, precision-guided munitions, and sensor suites such as electro-optical/infrared systems, radars, and jammers.

The Supacat HMT ACC (Armoured Closed Cab) is a four-person, highly protected variant of the High Mobility Transporter family, designed to combine blast and ballistic protection with mission-system integration and logistical commonality. It is designed for a crew of commander, driver and two mission operators, and offers a payload of roughly 3,500 - 4,000 kg, with a top speed of about 120 km/h and a range nearing 800 km. The Supacat HMT was formally unveiled at Defence Vehicle Dynamics 2024 (DVD24) in September 2024, and is offered as a candidate for the UK Ministry of Defence’s Land Mobility Programme (LMP).

In late 2025/early 2026, as part of Supacat’s preparations for the 2026 World Defence Show, as well as thej 2026 Supacat Capability day, the MOOG FMP was mounted on the Supacat HMT ACC with a both a quad and dual ASRAAM integration, resulting in a highly capable SHORAD system. For those familiar, this resulted in a system very similar to the Raven Air Defence, as sent as part of UK aid to Ukraine, but it is a distinctly different vehicle, with the original Raven Air Defence lacking a rotating launcher and having a smaller cab. For target acquisition and tracking, the vehicle is fitted with the Hawkeye Sight from chess dynamics, capable of IRST for detection and tracking. In-game, this would provide a highly mobile, fire-and-forget, IR-guided SPAA for the British tree, if perhaps slightly lacking in total ammo count. This new system, with 4 ASRAAM missiles mounted on a fully rotating and elevating launcher, has been dubbed ‘Raven 5’.

We genuinely need to deploy laser warfare to deploy a huge electric burst and fry the avionics of the CAS aircraft, kinda like what the US government tested a while ago

That’s our only hope now

This thing screams we are out of R & D.

While the suggestion was pending a lot more information came to light about this system, including the name - Raven 5 - as well as pictures of the quad ASRAAM mount as well as the dual mount, so I’ve updated the suggestion with these bits.

Agm65b, kh29t, brimstone and vikhrs: no you cant

+1 plus with the other Supercat 6x6 vehicles such as one with the weapon systems that use the Brimstone AGM’s for example

AGM-65B works against them?
