Development and design
Italian Navy ordered the new MBDA TESEO MK/2E heavy-duty missile (TESEO "EVO"), a long-range anti-ship missilewith also strategic land attack capability. The missile will have a new terminal "head" with dual RF seeker (Radio Frequency) and, presumably, date the need to even attack ground targets, IIR (Imaging IR). Compared to the predecessor OTOMAT/TESEO, the TESEO "EVO" MK/2E has a double range or more than 360 km. Former OTOMAT is accredited for a range of action of more than 180 km.[1][2][3]
Construction and career
Marcantonio Colonna was laid down on 14 March 2019 at Fincantieri Muggiano and expected to be launched in September 2021.[4] Expected to be commissioned in April 2024.
