Rheinmetall used Eurosatory 2026 to unveil the Containerized Missile Launcher for its FV-014 loitering munition, turning a 20-foot ISO container into a modular firing unit with space for up to 18 rounds. The CML is built for unmanned operation, single-operator control and salvo launches, with integrated power and communications modules supporting rapid deployment from trucks, railcars, ships or static sites.
The open architecture is designed to take other munitions and to tie into country-specific command-and-control networks. Rheinmetall is positioning the system as a transportable precision-fires node for distributed operations, not a one-off demonstrator. The next test is whether operators buy the mobility concept at scale.
