The latest generation of Milan anti-tank missile, the Milan ER (Extended Response) was test fired for the first time on May 18, 2006. Further tests are planned for 2006 validate the missile's performance and operation of the ADT firing post, currently undergoing qualification. A fully digitized firing post, ADT is designed to integrate into a net-centric battlespace incorporating remote-video and weapon control features and integrated geo-positioning, built-in test and maintenance tools and embedded training.

The Milan ER weapon system utilizes many of the existing Milan 2 system components, while extending their functionality and adding more capabilities, highlighting operational flexibility.

Milan ER maintains all performance and operational features of the Milan family while introducing new technologies in warhead design, propulsion system, in-flight maneuverability and extended range.
