"UK Royal Navy Enhances Warship Missile Defense Against New Threats"

The U.K. Royal Navy's Sea Viper air defense system, used to shoot down Houthi drones, is set to receive a £405 million upgrade to enhance its capabilities against anti-ship ballistic missiles. The upgrade will include modernizing the Aster 30 missile and evaluating a new missile, the Aster 30 Block 1NT, to improve ballistic missile defense. Additionally, the Royal Navy is testing laser weapons and considering installing them on new frigates. These upgrades aim to bolster the Navy's air defense systems against emerging threats, particularly in response to recent Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
