NASAMS (National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System) is a mobile anti-aircraft missile system designed to engage maneuverable aerodynamic targets at low and medium altitudes. The battery includes a radar station, a towed launcher with six containers for AMRAAM missiles with a range of up to 40 km and a command and control post. The complex was developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace in collaboration with the American company Raytheon.
