The article suggests that if quad packed into its 24 mk 41 cells the type 26 there could potentially be a load out of 144 missiles , 24 times 4 is 96 ?
,The extended range version of the Camm missile may be a later consideration for New Zealands Anzacs ,is there any consideration on following the U.K s implementation of Camm for the army known as Sky Sabre by New Zealand for logistical savings ?
Personally I rather doubt that the RNZN FFH's would be fitted with an -ER version of Sea Ceptor, unless it was a fairly simple/straightforward software-only update and available within the next decade. IIRC the RNZN will not be back up to a two frigate navy until ~2022, which means that the RNZN will most likely be loathe to have further hardware changes or upgrades done which would take vessels out of service for any length of time in the near future. A Sea Ceptor-ER missile could be a possibility aboard the Future Frigate, but I strongly suspect by the time it is operational, it would either be too recently after the current upgrades, or too close to the projected decommissioning to be considered worthwhile.
As for Army adopting CAMM, I just do not see that happening. At present the Mistral MANPADS have been taken out of service and put into storage to save money. I just cannot see Army introducing a more complex air defence capability when they could not justify funding to retain MANPADS. Also, there would not be any logistical savings, since the capability would be an addition to Army, and not a replacement of a comparable and existing Army capability.
