The Enforcer from the European manufacturer MBDA Deutschland  is a modern infantry weapon for use against lightly armoured and unarmoured vehicles and stationary targets at a distance over 2,000 m (2,200 yd).

In 2010, MBDA launched a new serie of programmes named Concept Visions intending to develop a wide range of future missiles.

The main goal was to develop a light weapon able to precisely treat targets in complex and urban environments, with a high range while limiting the collateral damages.

MBDA considered that the existing weapons were either too heavy, had too much power (NLAW, Spike, MILAN, Javelin), or lacked precision and range (M72 LAW, RGW 90).

The development of the missile and the launcher was launched in July 2011, and was fully self-financed by the MBDA group.

In 2012 and 2013, demonstrators were tested in cooperation with the Military Technical Office for Weapons and Ammunition (WTD 91) [de] in Meppen.

MBDA took a cautious approach with a de-risking strategy by testing the parts at each step of their development to ensure that they were effective, and then combined those.

In December 2016, MBDA shared updates on the trial of the Enforcer, and they announced having hit accurately targets multiple times.

[12] As part of that phase, the EMC Laboratory (EMV Labor) of MBDA Deutschland performs electromagnetic compatibility tests.

[16] In March 2024, the Enforcer Production Increase Campaign (EPIC) was put forward to the European Commission.

[18] The base variant programme was launched in July 2011, the production started in 2023, and it is planned to enter service in the German Army in 2024.

The launcher concept was presented at Enforce TAC 2022, on an ENOK vehicle designed by ACS, based on the G464 G-Class.

[19][20] MBDA Deutschland is developing several variants of the Enforcer designed for land, air, sea and anti-air applications, but those systems plan to adapt on the existing variants in order to limit the development cost and to reach a cost-effective family solution.

[21] MBDA Deutschland unveiled a concept of an air-launched variant of the Enforcer missile in November 2019 at the Berlin Security Conference.

With this missiles, MBDA says that it plans to combat Class 1 UAS, UAV under 150 kg (330 lb).

[23] The main differences to the base variant of the Enforcer are:[26] The proposed applications for the missile as of 2024 are: [29][30] [31] [6] [6] launch from enclosed space tube-launched / rail launched Aimpoint FCS 14 (point detonation, impact-delayed or air-burst) (point detonation, impact-delayed or air-burst) The Enforcer system can be divided in three main parts, the missile itself, and all its components the launching tube and the fire control sight.

Depending on the weather conditions which affect the propellant, the distance and the altitude difference, the missile determines if the target can be reached.

[32][33] TDW GmbH, a subsidiary of MBDA Deutschland, is the designer and supplier of the warhead, its safety, and its arming unit.

[31] The fuse modes available that the shooters selects prior to the launch depending on the target and the desired effect are:[31] One major safety aspect of the warhead design is that the explosive is insensitive.

The explosive mixture is prepared in a liquid form, after which it will be poured to take the desired shape within the warhead through a secret process.

The warhead and the fuse system arrive pre-assembled,[12] The rear part of the assembly, the propulsion is manufactured in an aluminium casing.

[12] At each step of the assembly process of the missile, measurements and tests are performed to ensure that the tolerances are respected, and that the electronic systems work as intended, and all the results are documented.

It is also equipped with a ballistics computer connected to sensors for measuring the temperature, the air pressure and he angular rate.

The other elements include a laser rangefinder, sensors to assess the position and inclination of the weapon, a gyroscope, a GNSS receiver and a compass.

It can access to the temperature of the propellant in order to compensate the flight trajectory, and also to use the programmable capacity of the missile (direct hit or air-burst) and the location at which it ignites.

The Aimpoint FCS 14 is also being used with shoulder fired weapons, with grenade launchers and with heavy machine guns (12.7×99 mm NATO).

By 2025, Thales Deutschland will modernise the 180 stationary AGSHP and the 4 mobile ones that are in service for the German Army.
