    SAMP/T (Sol-Air Moyenne-Portée/Terrestre, French for "Surface-to-Air Medium-Range/Land-based") is a mobile surface-to-air missile (SAM) system developed as a joint French-Italian project. It is capable of defending against aircraft, cruise missiles, and tactical ballistic missiles. In September 2025, Denmark announced that it would be purchasing two SAMP/T systems as the long-range component of its integrated ground-based air defence systems.
