The Otomat[2] is an anti-ship and coastal defence missile developed by the Italian company Oto Melara jointly with Matra and now made by MBDA.[3] The name comes, for the first versions, from the name of the two builders ("Oto Melara" and "Matra") and, for the later versions, Teseo, from the Italian word for Theseus. The MILAS variant is an anti-submarine missile. In its latest version Mk/2E purchased by the Italian Navy is a medium range anti-ship missile and a ground attack missile.[4]
