MBDA, the French producer of the Mistral portable anti-aircraft missiles, recently announced a version of its Mistral air-defense missile suitable for quick installation (or removal) on any ship but in particular unarmed navy support ships that are operating in areas where there is a threat from hostile aircraft, anti-ship missiles or fast attack boats (like Iran, pirates and Islamic terrorists are fond of). Called SPIMM (Self-Protection Integrated Mistral Module) it is a standard 10 foot (3.1 meter) shipping container that contains a standard two missile Mistral launcher turret that is already used on many warships. ... The SPIMM container weighs seven tons and is simply placed on the deck of a ship and bolted or lashed down and attached to the standard ship power supply.
Four extra missiles are included in the system. So there is another weapon for The AFRICOM Queen modularized auxiliary cruiser.
And add in a drone in a box a little bigger than this and you can extend the recon and targeting footprint around an auxiliary cruiser.
