  1. Mistral SHORAD System • Key Data • Missile Weight18.7kg • Missile Length186cm • Missile Diameter90mm • Fin Span 18cm • Warhead 3kg high-explosive with tungsten ball projectiles • Fuses Contact fuse and laser proximity fuse • Guidance Infrared passive homing • Mistral anti-aircraft short-range missile system • Mistral is a very short-range air defence missile system that can be used from various platforms – vehicles, surface ships and helicopters, as well as in a portable configuration. Development of the SATCP (sol-air à trèscourteportée), the French portable missile later to become the Mistral, began in 1974. • Matra was selected as the prime contractor to develop the Mistral in 1980. Matra became Matra BAE Dynamics, which is now MBDA. MBDA is the company formed by the merging of missile and missile systems activities of Matra BAE Dynamics, Aerospatiale Matra (EADS) and Alenia Marconi Systems. • Mistral entered series production in 1989 and is now deployed by 40 armed forces of 27 countries. Over 16,000 missiles have been ordered. In June 2001, the last of 45 ATLAS launchers and 9 MCP with Mistral 2 missiles were delivered to Hungary. • In February 2007, Estonia placed an order for the Mistral 2 missile system. The contract was valued at €60m with 25 launchers entering service in 2009. • Saab Microwave Systems has been contracted to provide the associated Giraffe AMB3D air defence radars. Deliveries began in July 2008. • MBDA and RheinmetallDefence Electronics of Germany are developing the multi-purpose combat system (MPCS) which is armed with four Mistral missiles. The system consists of an armoured wheeled vehicle with turret which has a Rheinmetall DE EOSS day / thermal sensor suite with integrated laser rangefinder. First missile firing tests of the MPCS took place in 2009.
