The Missile Moyenne Portee (MMP), Medium Range Missile in English, is a French Army program aimed at delivering a replacement for the Milan anti-armor missile system beginning in 2015-2017. The new missile is also intended as the basis for a missile family with longer range variants. The MMP could be fired from enclosures against any ground target from armored vehicles with the latest generation armor kits to bunkers either stationary or on the move at ranges in excess of four kilometers. The MMP missile system was unveiled by MBDA during the Eurosatory exhibition in June 2010. The program's scope calls for the production of 500 firing posts and 3,000 missiles starting in 2015. As of 2017 the program is for 400 firing posts and 1,750 missiles to be delivered by 2025.

The missile's seeker to be developed by Sagem combines CCD-TV daylight camera and uncooled infrared sensor imagery with inertial navigation system (INS) supporting fire-and-forget firing mode. Besides, an optic fiber data link allows the operator to minimize collateral damage watching over the impact area, re-targeting the MMP missile in-flight and/or hit targets which are located beyond or out of the visual range. The MMP missile and its derivatives are being designed to meet the requirements posed by the French Army's FELIN (dismounted infantry) and SCORPION (French counterpart to the US Army's FCS-Future Combat Systems).

In June 2022, MBDA re-named the anti-tank missile family as Akeron.

The Missile Longue Portee (MLP), Long Range Missile in English, is a long-range missile aimed at outfitting the ground vehicles to be procured under the French Army's SCORPION program. The MLP is intended against any ground target from armored vehicles with the latest generation armor kits to bunkers either stationary or on the move at ranges in excess of eight kilometers. The MLP is a member of the MMP missile family unveiled by MBDA during the Eurosatory exhibition in June 2010. The SCORPION program calls for 300 EBRC tank destroyer vehicles and 2,000 VBMR medium armored vehicles beginning in 2018 and 2015 respectively.

The MLP and MMP missile seeker to be developed by Sagem combines CCD-TV daylight camera and uncooled infrared sensor imagery with inertial navigation system (INS) supporting fire-and-forget firing mode. Besides, an optic fiber data link allows the operator to minimize collateral damage watching over the impact area, re-targeting the MMP missile in-flight and/or hit targets which are located beyond or out of the visual range. MLP has the same diameter than MMP and thus both will share many sub-assemblies allowing for lower operating and production costs and minimizing the risk associated with development of complex weapon systems.

In June 2022, MBDA re-named the anti-tank missile family as Akeron.

The MBDA Future Tactical Air-to-Surface Missile or MAST-F is a long-range multi-purpose air-to-ground missile selected by the French Army for its Tiger attack helicopters. It is intended to take out the next generation of main battle tanks (MBT) as well as hardened infrastructure targets using a multi-effect warhead. The MAST-F is an evolution of the MLP missile underlined under the MHT/MLP program. The missile will have a range of eight kilometers even when launched from a stationary platform at low altitude. Its seeker consists of infrared and visible spectrum imager allowing the missile operator to choose the target using a two-way data-link. The French Army selected the MBDA MAST-F missile proposal in November 2020.
