The SAMP/T is a European mobile surface-to-air missile defense system designed to protect military forces and critical infrastructure from aerial threats such as combat aircraft, drones, cruise missiles, and short-range ballistic missiles. It features truck-mounted mobile batteries, multifunction phased-array radar, and uses the Aster missile family for vertical launch interception. The system is developed by MBDA and Thales Group and is operated primarily by France and Italy, with deployments in NATO operations and international interest from other countries.
