Mansup

National Anti-Ship Missile (Míssil Antinavio Nacional, MANSUP) also named AV-RE40 —previously known as MAN-1—is a US$75 million anti-ship missile project under development by Avibras, Mectron, Atech and Omnisys for the Brazilian Navy. The design aims to achieve performance similar to MBDA MM40 Exocet Block II. It is expected to begin field tests in 2017, and should begin production around late 2018 or early 2019.
History.
A mock-up of the Brazilian Navy and Avibras project for anti-ship missile insphered on the AM39 Excocet was shown in April 2011 during Latin America Aero and Defence (LAAD) exhibition in Rio de Janeiro.
An initial asset of R$50 million was sponsored by the Brazilian Navy, through the Directorate of Navy Weapons Systems, contracts were signed on 5 and 6 December 2011, with Mectron and Avibras, respectively. Program participants were assigned according to their specialties, Mectron being assigned to prototype development, Avibras to rocket engine development, Omnisys to seeker-head development and to project accompaniment management.
In 2013, Omnisys concluded the missile seeker PDR (Preliminary Design Review) and started to test all subsystem parts. Development of an air launched variant of the missile called Missil Antinavio Nacional lancado por Aeronaves (MANAER) commenced in February 2014.
On November 27, 2018 the first missile prototype was fired from the Brazilian Navy corvette Barroso. On March 20, 2019, a second launch was carried out by the frigate Independência (F44). A third prototype was fired once again by the F44 on July 10.
The missile will operate on all ships and submarines of the Brazilian Navy modernization programs: "Tamandaré"-class frigates, "Scorpène"-class submarines and the nuclear submarine "Álvaro Alberto".
