The French Navy has initiated studies to convert the SCALP EG missile to be capable of launch from the SYLVER. This missile, the SCALP Naval, would give France a land attack capability in the mould of the US Tomahawk missile. It would also be attractive to the Royal Navy, whose Type 45 destroyers will be equipped with the SYLVER launcher.
