About ASTER 15
ASTER missiles are the cornerstone of Europe’s naval and landbased air and missile defence programmes.
The ASTER missile family comprises ASTER 15 for short to medium range and ASTER 30 and its evolutions for short to long range. 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. Thanks to the unique combination of aerodynamic control and direct thrust vector control called ‘PIF-PAF’, the missile is capable of high manœuvres.
