Sea Venom is an Anglo-French lightweight anti-ship missile developed by MBDA to equip the French Navy and the Royal Navy. The missile is known as //Anti-Navire Léger (ANL) in France and Sea Venom (formerly “Future Anti-Surface Guided Weapon (Heavy)”) in the United Kingdom. While initial operating capability had been expected with the Royal Navy in 2022, it was reported in 2023 that, due to “on-going integration challenges”, the Royal Navy's Wildcat helicopters would only achieve full operational capability with the missile in 2026. //
The first test launch, from an AS365 Dauphin helicopter of the French DGA, was successfully conducted on 21 June 2017.
//Initial operating capability for the missile with the Royal Navy was declared in October 2025. //
