DCN Ruelle also is working on an A70 Sylver module, which is intended to be a versatile multiple missile-launcher. The weapons with which it is intended to be compatible include the ship-launched variant of MBDA’s Scalp naval land-attack missile, the Aster Block 3 theater missile-defense system, Raytheon’s Tactical Tomahawk, and/or a vertically launched anti-submarine missile round.

Granted, the article is over four years old but at least it seems DCN have offered that option for the UK and Italy if they want the capability.

Btw, isn’t the Aster essentally a larger Mica on a booster, plus those midships rockets? Would it seem feasable that MBDA would do a similar job with the Meteor?
