The Exocet has been manufactured in versions including:
* MM38 (surface-launched) – deployed on warships. Range: 42&nbsp;km. No longer produced. A coast defence version known as "Excalibur" was developed in the United Kingdom and deployed in [[Gibraltar]] from 1985 to 1997.<ref>{{cite book |last=Friedman |first=Norman |title=The Naval Institute Guide to World Naval Weapons Systems, 1997–1998 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=l-DzknmTgDUC&pg=PA227|year=1997|publisher=Naval Institute Press|isbn=978-1-55750-268-1|page=227}}</ref>
* AM38 (helicopter-launched – tested only)<ref>Based on the ship launched MM38. Only five tested in 1973 from a Super-Felon helicopter, further development then abandoned for the lighter and smaller AM39. – {{Cite book |editor-first=Ronald T. |editor-last=Pretty |title=Jane's Weapon Systems 1976 |year=1975 |edition=7th |location=London, UK |publisher=MacDonald and Jane's |page=133 |isbn=978-0-35400-527-2}}</ref>
* AM39 (air-launched) – B2 Mod 2: deployed on 14 types of aircraft (combat jets, maritime patrol aircraft, helicopters). Range between 50 and 70&nbsp;km, depending on the altitude and the speed of the launch aircraft.<ref name="auto2"/>
* SM39 (submarine-launched) – B2 Mod 2: deployed on submarines. The missile is housed inside a watertight launched capsule (''véhicule Sous marin,'' VSM), which is fired from the submarine's torpedo tubes. On leaving the water, the capsule is ejected and the missile's motor is ignited. It then behaves like an MM40. The missile will be fired at depth, which makes it particularly suitable for discreet submarine operations.<ref name="auto"/>
* MM40 (surface-launched) – Block 1, Block 2 and Block 3: deployed on warships and in coastal batteries. Range: 72&nbsp;km for the Block 2, in excess of 200&nbsp;km for the Block 3.<ref name="auto3"/><ref name="auto1"/>
* SM40 (submarine-launched), deployed on submarines, is the successor of the EXOCET SM39. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.mbda-systems.com/euronaval-4-7-november-2024/ | title=Euronaval 4 - 7 November 2024 &#124; Mbda | work=MBDA }}</ref>
