The Danish Ministry of Defence has selected the SAMP/T NG system to strengthen its air defence and ensure interoperability with European and NATO armed forces.

The SAMP/T NG system is a mobile ground-to-air system designed to intercept and destroy drones as well as medium range ballistic missiles and hostile aircraft.

The SAMP/T NG programme is overseen by the Organisation Conjointe de Coopération en matière d’Armement (OCCAR). Eurosam, a joint-venture between Thales and MBDA, is the lead contractor for the entire system.

Thales, integrator of the SAMP/T NG system in collaboration with MBDA, also provides the Ground Fire air defence surveillance radar, which has a range of up to 400 km and panoramic coverage at 360° and 90° elevation.
