Finland intends to use the missiles on its new Squadron 2020 class Corvette ships.

ESSM Block 1 is a mediumrange, semi-active homing missile that makes flight corrections via radar and midcourse data uplinks. The guidance system is semi-active on continuous wave or interrupted continuous wave illumination. The missile provides PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 reliable ship self-defense capability against agile, high-speed, low-altitude anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs) and low velocity air threats (LVATs) such as helicopters and high-speed, maneuverable surface threats.
