Article Abstract:
MBDA has delivered the Jernas short-range air defence (SHORAD) systems ordered by Malaysia in 2002 which also comprised nine launchers, three tracking radars and three surveillance radars, plus the latest Rapier Mk surface-to-air missile (SAM). Malaysia already operates a number of man-portable SAMs but Jernas is the first SHORAD to enter service with an all-weather and networked capability.
