The Aster 30 Surface-to-Air Missile Platform/Terrain (SAMP/T) represents European excellence in air defence technology. This mobile system can engage multiple targets simultaneously at ranges of up to 120 kilometers. The Aster missile’s unique PIF-PAF control mechanism provides exceptional maneuverability against highly agile targets. The system’s multi-function radar delivers outstanding performance against low-observable threats and operates effectively in dense electronic warfare environments. Recent upgrades have enhanced its interoperability with NATO air defence systems and improved its ballistic missile defence capabilities.
