How good is the Aster 30?
Aster 30 has been successfully incorporated into a land based SAM system, fulfilling the “Ground-based area defence” mission requirement. The system uses a network of sophisticated radars and sensors – including 3D phased array radar – enabling it to be highly effective against all types of air threats.
How good is Aster missile?
Thanks to the unique combination of aerodynamic control and direct thrust vector control called “PIF-PAF”, the missile is capable of high manoeuvres. Together, these features give Aster an unmatched hit-to-kill capability.
How Good Is Sea Viper?
The Sea Viper is a highly sophisticated system that includes long-range and missile-directing radars, a combat control center, and vertical launcher missile silos. The system is designed to protect both land and sea forces from aircraft attacks and defend the naval fleet against supersonic anti-ship missiles.
Does Singapore have missile Defence?
Singapore’s air defence can now strike airborne threats that are twice as far away. That’s with new ground-based missiles in the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s Island Air Defence system that can dart 70km away in a matter of seconds.
Can Sea Viper be reloaded at sea?
The Sea Viper that replaced the Sea Dart was a vast improvement but the older system did have the advantage that rounds could be replenished at sea and had a limited anti-ship capability.
What’s the maximum range of the Aster 30 missile?
The maximum range of the Aster 30 missile is 100km. The Aster 30 SAMP/T (sol-air moyenne portée terrestre or surface-to-air medium range / land) is a land-based air defence system effective against high-speed threats such as tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, combat aircraft and UCAVs (unmanned combat air vehicles).
What does the Aster 30 air defence system do?
It protects sensitive sites and deployed forces against missile threats (TBM, stand off, cruise missiles, ARM) and aircraft, replacing all existing medium range ground-to-air systems. The ASTER 30 SAMP/T system is designed to meet medium and long range air defence needs (force projection, protection of high-value areas and area protection).
Are there any other versions of the Aster missile?
There are currently two versions of the Aster missile family, the short-medium range version, Aster 15, and the long range version, Aster 30. The missile bodies are identical; Their difference in range and intercept speed is because Aster 30 uses a much larger booster.
What’s the difference between the Aster 15 and 30?
There is extensive commonality between the two variants with both missiles featuring the same terminal dart. Aster’s terminal dart is a lightweight, highly manoeuvring and agile missile equipped with a high-performance active RF seeker.
