According to MBDA:
“Meteor is the next generation Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile system (BVRAAM) that will
totally revolutionise air-to-air combat in the 21st Century. The weapon brings together six nations
with a common requirement to defeat the threat of today as well as the emerging threats of the
future.
Guided by an advanced active radar seeker, Meteor provides all weather capability to engage a
wide variety of targets from agile fast jets to small UAV and cruise missiles. Designed to meet the
most stringent requirements to operate in severe clutter and future countermeasure
environments, the weapon is also equipped with a two-way data link communication. Aimed at
meeting the needs of a network centric environment, Meteor can be operated using third party
targeting and third party target engagement, enabling the pilot of tomorrow to have the most
flexible weapon system.”
