Airborne cruise missile ASMP (ASMP-A) Work on the development of missile weapons with a powerful nuclear or thermonuclear BC, suitable for placement on strategic aircraft carriers, began in France in the late 1960s under the leadership of the company "Aerospatiale".

Le missile air-sol moyenne portée amélioré ASMP-A 3, fabriqué par MBDA, fait partie, avec le SCALP-EG et le missile de croisière naval (MdCN), des missiles de croisière utilisés par l’ Armée française.

The ASMP (Air-Sol Moyenne Portee) is a supersonic, medium range, air-to-surface missile armed with a tactical nuclear warhead and powered by a liquid-propellant ramjet. It is guided by an autonomous and accurate Inertial Navigation System (INS).

2013年9月30日 · The ASMP-A missiles are the main French nuclear deterrent since 2009. This is a new generation of ASMP missile with an enhanced, longer range of 500-600 km.

2024年5月24日 · The Air-Sol Medium Range (ASMP/ASMP-A) is an air-launched land-attack supersonic cruise missile that carries a nuclear payload. It is a central component of France’s nuclear deterrent force. The ASMP, originally developed in 1986, had a range between 80 and 300 km, and used the TN 81 warhead of variable yield, between 100 and 300 kilotons of TNT.

The ASMP (Air-Sol Moyenne Portée) nuclear cruise missile is a powerful tactical weapon in the French military's arsenal, providing a potent nuclear capability that acts as a robust deterrent against potential adversaries.

ASMP (Air-Sol Moyenne Portée - medium range air-to-ground) was the main French air-dropped nuclear weapon. Powered by a liquid fuel ramjet, the ASMP was implemented primarily against...
