The ASN4G (Air-Sol Nucléaire de 4ème Génération) is a French nuclear-armed, scramjet-powered, air-launched hypersonic cruise missile under development by MBDA France, assisted by the ONERA. It is intended to succeed the ASMP in the pre-strategic deterrence role from 2035 onwards. Technological work on this successor began in the early 1990s and the programme's existence was officially confirmed in 2014 by French defense minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian.
The ASN4G is due for integration on the Rafale F5 fighter under development as well as its successor, the Next Generation Fighter (NGF) derived from the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) programme. The new missile is expected to have more than twice the range of the current ASMPA-R, thus significantly superior to 1,000 kilometres (600 mi).
