===MM40 Block 3c===

The “Block 3c” variant integrates a digital Radio Frequency (RF) seeker to the missile that has been developed by Thales. The Block 3c variant is described as more resistant to jamming systems and may be able to recognize surface vessels, based on the use of advanced wave forms. Block 3 missiles introduced a longer 200 kilometer range but retained the same RF seeker as Block 2. This technology remained non-digital.<ref name="auto4">{{Cite web|url=https://www.navalnews.com/event-news/euronaval-2022/2022/10/first-exocet-mm40-block-3c-missiles-set-for-december-delivery/|title=First Exocet MM40 Block 3c Missiles set for December Delivery|first=Xavier|last=Vavasseur|date=17 October 2022}}</ref>
