Aster On Course To Provide Missile Defense
MBDA’s Aster 30 missile is getting a new seeker and guidance control system to expand its anti-ballistic missile capabilities.

Around 1,500 MBDA Aster medium-range air defense missiles have now been delivered to nine nations, equipping 55 air defence systems. Now the company (Chalet 173) is working with its partner in the Eurosam consortium, Thales, to develop a new version that gives expanded capabilities, with an accent on ballistic missile defense. Development is scheduled to be complete by 2023, with production beginning the year after.
