MBDA，世界导弹与导弹系统领军者，是一家跨国集团，在法国、英国、意大利、德国拥有超过10000名员工。公司主要由BAE系统公司(占有股份37。5%)、EADS(占有股份37。5%)公司、Finmeccanica(占有股份25%) 三家航空与防务公司组成，是第一家真正的欧洲联合防务公司。
  在2007年，集团总销售额约30亿欧元，生产超过3000枚导弹，并获得总计131亿欧元的订单。MBDA在全世界与超过90支军队有合作关系。
在法国、意大利、英国的主要导弹生产商合并后，MBDA于2001年12月组建。每一家生产商都贡献出从过去五十年技术与作战的成功中获得的经验。
  2006年3月，欧洲导弹工业重组工作在德国子公司EADS/LFK加入后宣告完成。这进一步丰富了MDBA的技术与产品范围，巩固了集团在这一领域的世界领先地位（补充：MBDA是欧洲统一的制导武器行业的核心，已经发展成为世界上第二大导弹制造商，仅次于美国雷声导弹系统公司。
  ）。
MBDA是唯一一家能够设计、生产导弹与导弹系统，以满足三军（陆、海、空）目前与未来作战需要的集团。集团可提供总计45种产品，另有15种产品正在研发中。
MBDA已经展示了其整合全欧洲最尖端技术的能力，并且成功成为一系列多国战略项目的主合同商。
  这些计划包括六国空中优势武器“流星”导弹，英法联合空射巡航导弹——暴风阴影/SCALP头皮，和一系列提供给法、意、英的基于“紫菀”的对空防御系统（法、意，陆基与海基防空；英，皇家海军45型驱逐舰的舰对空防御）
其他项目，诸如MEADS，进一步加强了MBDA在欧洲防务中的核心作用，并且与美国主要的防务公司建立了横跨大西洋的合作关系。
  
除了这些大型的合作项目，MBDA的名字与许多加强了公司无与伦比的领先地位的名誉的系统密不可分。“米兰”反坦克导弹已经提供给了全世界超过40个国家；“飞鱼”反舰导弹，包括舰射、潜射、空射系列，代表了全世界海军的主要对海优势武器。
对于MBDA来说，对尖端技术的统治不但是其成功开发与生产新产品的的优势，而且也是一种对客户的保障——产品在全寿命期中总会有创新，以便满足由日益增长的复杂战场环境带来的设计要求的改变。
  正是这种结合使MBDA成为全世界许多国家的防务合作伙伴。
原文——MBDA, a world leader in missiles and missile systems, is a multi-national group with over 10,000 employees in France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany。
   MBDA has three major aeronautical and defence shareholders - BAE Systems (37。5%), EADS (37。5%) and Finmeccanica (25%), and is the first truly integrated European defence company。
   In 2007, the Group recorded a turnover of 3 billion euros, produced over 3,000 missiles and achieved an order book of 13。
  1 billion euros。 MBDA works with over 90 armed forces worldwide。 
MBDA was created in December 2001, after the merger of the main missile producers in France, Italy and Great Britain。
   Each of these companies contributed the experience gained from fifty years of technological and operational success。 The restructuring of the industry in Europe was completed with the acquisition of the German subsidiary EADS/LFK in March 2006。
   This further enriched MDBA’s range of technologies and products, consolidating the Group’s world-leading position in the industry。
   
MBDA is the only Group capable of designing and producing missiles and missile systems to meet the whole range of current and future operational requirements for the three armed forces (army, navy, air force)。
   Overall, the Group offers a range of 45 products in service and another 15 in development。
MBDA has demonstrated its ability to bring together the best skills across the whole of Europe, and has succeeded in becoming the prime contractor for a series of strategic multi-national programmes。
   These include the six-nation Meteor air superiority weapon, the Franco-British conventionally armed cruise missile, Storm Shadow/SCALP, and a family of air defence systems based on the Aster missile for France and Italy (for ground and naval based air defence) and for the UK (naval air defence for the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyers)。
   
Other programmes such as MEADS further serve to position MBDA at the heart of the European defence sector as well as establishing cooperative transatlantic links with the principal groups in the US defence industry。
   
In parallel to these large cooperative programmes, MBDA’s name is inseparable from a number of systems which have strengthened its reputation as an unrivalled leader。
   The MILAN anti-armour weapon has been supplied to over 40 countries in the world and the Exocet anti-ship missile, in its surface, submarine and air-launched variants, represents the main naval superiority weapon of navies throughout the world。
   
The mastery of cutting-edge technologies is not only an advantage for MBDA in successfully developing and producing new products。
   It is also a means of guaranteeing customers that innovations can be made to existing products during their life span in order to meet constantly changing specifications arising from increasingly complex engagement scenarios。
   It is precisely this combination which makes MBDA the defence sector partner of choice in many countries around the world。
