The Otomat is an anti-ship and coastal defence missile developed by the Italian company Oto Melara jointly with Matra, and now made by MBDA. The name comes, for the first versions, from the names of the two builders Oto Melara and Matra, and for later versions from Teseo, the Italian word for Theseus; the MILAS variant is an anti-submarine missile, and the latest version, the Mk 2E purchased by the Italian Navy, is a medium-range anti-ship and land-attack missile.
