Publish Date : 05-Aug-2015
Weststar Group has been selected by The Malaysian Ministry of Defense (MINDEF) as the main contractor for the procurement of StarStreak Very Short Range Air Defense (VSHORAD) system from Thales.
During DSA 2014, Malaysia had signed an agreement with Global Komited, a subsidiary of Weststar Group and Thales to market Starstreak system to Malaysian Armed Forces for replacing Thales’ Starbust V-Shorads which has been in use with air defense of the military bases.
On July 30, Malaysia signed a deal to procure Starstreak V-Shorads, GM-K1 vehicles and light weight multiple launchers, radars and command and control systems from UK.
The system will be a key part of augmenting the capabilities of the nationÄ…s air defense forces as a whole, and will be procured in part of a trade-in program of the decommissioned Starburst missiles.
The delivery of the integrated air defense system will be carried out in a complete package to include air surveillance/engagement radar and also a command and control system.
