What makes a ballistic system… ballistic?
A ballistic system leaves the atmosphere within moments, accelerates to extremely high speeds, and re-enters into the atmosphere, undergoes high thermal and mechanical stress and reaches precisely its objective on a previously calculated trajectory.
This flight profile combines speed, altitude and precision to deliver long-range capabilities while following a trajectory calculated in a few minutes before launch.
Behind this seemingly simple principle lies decades of expertise in propulsion, re-entry technologies, guidance, navigation and flight control.
At ArianeGroup, this expertise forms the foundation of the B-Strike ballistic line-up, building on decades of experience acquired through France's strategic deterrence programmes since the 1990s.
