A standard NASAMS unit has a modular
design comprising a command post FDC,
an active 3D radar AN/MPQ-64F1 Sentinel,
a passive electro-optic and infra-red
sensor and a number of missile canister
launchers with AMRAAM missiles.
Normally, four NASAMS units are
netted in a battalion network.

KONGSBERG/Raytheon proposes a fielded and proven NASAMS configuration able to
protect several areas and high- value assets separated by large distances. Endurance,
stamina and flexibility are typical NASAMS characteristics enabled by the relatively
small and agile components comprising the system. The NASAMS ability to protect
static and highly mobile assets with the same type of equipment opens for a range
of both military and civilian roles and missions.
