# Cody Unveils British Badger Missile

Cody Aerospace & Defence has unveiled the proposed Badger Mk1 ground-launched missile, with a stated range of 110–160 km, alongside its containerized Abode Mk1 launcher. The systems may be relevant to the United Kingdom’s approximately £2 billion Land Deep Fires Programme and NATO interoperability efforts, but no customer, award, price, manufacturing contract, or factory location has been disclosed. Cody’s schedule and stockpile-replenishment claims remain development targets pending financing, qualification, and demonstrated compatibility.

- The Land Deep Fires Programme covers launcher upgrades, a new wheeled long-range launcher battery, GMLRS and ER GMLRS ammunition, and Precision Strike Missile procurement. Badger is only a possible additional munition; its selection and compatibility are unconfirmed.
- **The approximately £2 billion figure is for the broader programme, not a Badger contract or allocation.** Procurement teams and potential suppliers should treat the unveiling as an early market signal rather than a funded opportunity or confirmed requirement.
- Companies assessing potential involvement can evaluate the system’s qualification status, launcher–munition compatibility, NATO interoperability, and evidence supporting its proposed production and replenishment schedule.
