On June 19, 2024, at the Eurosatory defense exhibition, France and Italy jointly unveiled the SAMP/T NG (Surface-to-Air Missile Platform/Terrain New Generation), a cutting-edge air defense system. This sophisticated system, a product of the robust Franco-Italian collaboration, signifies a major leap in air defense technology. Initially designed to manage the ASTER family of munitions, including the ASTER 30 B1 and ASTER 30 B1NT, the SAMP/T NG is equipped to engage long-range air threats and autonomously counter ballistic missiles.
