ASTER represents one of the best in MBDA's international cooperative programme management skills and its technical ability. In service with several armed forces, ASTER has been proven against a range of ballistic missile representative targets, as well as against sea skimming supersonic targets, in both its ground based and naval based and has in so far established a capability which remains unmatched worldwide.

This system will be featured along with MBDA's short-range GBAD missile, MISTRAL. The missile has a 6-km range and is designed for surface-to-air defence systems, and is capable of intercepting a wide variety of aerial targets with an 96% success rate in over 4,700 live firings, including manoeuvring targets, fixed-wing aircraft, nap-of-the-earth helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles.
