The MBS-22A is an auto-targeting weapon system, developed and manufactured initially by Massa-Cirre™, a Portuguese-French arms conglomerate. The weapon system technology was later licensed for manufacture by other armament companies under the name “Massa-Cirre Ltd.” Although it has various hardware manufacturers, it is still commonly referred to by its original name because the software implementation is retained by the parent company. The software, known as MBS (Modular Belt System), is widely used on many various weapons platforms, such as aircraft, armored personnel carriers, fixed defensive positions, etc.
It is reloaded using a robotic lift system.
