Summary/Abstract: The „air-counterair confrontation” is a defining component of the contemporary war reality. This antagonism determined the continuous transformation of the air-space environment and fueled the constant progress of its main actors: the offensive air platforms, respectively antiaircraft fighting systems. To keep the pace with the rhythm imposed by the air combat means, the surface-to-air missile systems constantly find new solutions to cope with the modern challenges of the constantly evolving battle space. NASAMS offers such a solution which proves to be a successful one and enjoys an increasing popularity, despite the serious competition from this sector.
