MBDA has rolled out FULGUR, a new very short-range air defense (VSHORAD) missile built to intercept low-flying threats in contested airspace.

Named after the Latin word for lightning, the new system blends speed, agility, and all-weather capability into a single, compact weapon.

Weighing just 10 kilograms (22 pounds) and measuring 1.5 meters (4.9 feet), it can hit targets up to 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) away at supersonic speed.
