Mistral Short-Range Air-Defence Missile System, France

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 très courte portée), 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.
