Sea Arrow is a Praetonian surface-to-air missile family that currently makes up the principal anti-air weapon in service with the Imperial Navy. The missile family is based around a common terminal intercept vehicle called Sea Dart, which is used alone in the close area defence role and as a final stage for the larger Sea Arrow and Sea Bolt missiles. A single Sea Dart impact or close proximity detonation is claimed to have a high likelihood of successful neutralisation against anti-ship missiles, helicopters, aircraft, satellites and ballistic missiles. The missile is manufactured in Praetonia by Imperial Aerodynamics plc.
