ITALY: Europe’s Organization for Joint Armament Co-operation has finalized a contract for four SAMP/T NG air-defense systems to bolster Italy’s military capabilities. The move comes as part of a broader effort by European armed forces to modernize their missile defense systems.

The contract amendment includes upgraded Aster air defense missiles for both the Italian army and navy. Furthermore, it paves the way for future serial production of SAMP/T NG systems for the French Air Force and entails additional equipment procurement for the mid-life update of the UK’s Aster interceptors.

The SAMP/T NG system, an enhanced version of existing models, boasts advanced Aster interceptors and multifunctional radars. Scheduled for delivery from 2025, it promises extended detection and intercept ranges, with the ability to engage multiple targets simultaneously.
