Normally the same vehicle carries both the main sensor and the main effector of the system. However, thanks to the systems modularity, it can also be delivered in a split configuration with one vehicle carrying the main sensor and several other vehicles carrying the missiles. Finland placed the first order in August 2002. The Finnish systems are mounted on Sisu Nasus (4 units) and Mercedes-Benz Unimog 5000 L/38 4x4s (12 units). Each battery also has four RBS 70 MANPADS launchers with Bolide missiles.

- ASRAD-R is a platform-mounted air-defence system, for integration with almost any wheeled or tracked fighting vehicle. The weapon platform, which can be remotely controlled at distances of up to 100 m, can also be containerised or pallet mounted. The complete platform can be folded and lowered into the vehicle during transport. In the folded transport position the platform, which in some applications almost approaches stealth protection, can be protected against fragments. The low profile of the vehicle and folded platform allows ASRAD-R to be carried by most transport aircraft.

| - Normally the same vehicle carries both the main sensor and the main effector of the system. However, thanks to the systems modularity, it can also be delivered in a split configuration with one vehicle carrying the main sensor and several other vehicles carrying the missiles. The main sensor is Saab's (Formerly Ericsson Microwave System) HARD AESA 3D air search radar with an instrumented range of 20 km or an IRST, depending upon the customers specifications. The effector is the latest version of the Saab Bofors Dynamics RBS 70 Surface-to-air missile, called BOLIDE. The missile is a laser beam-riding short range missile equipped with a highly effective proximity fuze. It is supposed to be effective against cruise missiles. Each unit is equipped with four ready-to-fire missiles and an optical day/night sight to continually point the laser beam at the target. This means the system makes use of ACLOS type of guidance. Since the laser receiver is located at the back of the missile the system is practically immune to jamming but the method can be hampered by very low-visibility atmospheric conditions. Finland placed the first order in August 2002. The Finnish systems are mounted on Sisu Nasus (4 units) and Mercedes-Benz Unimog 5000 L/38 4x4s (12 units). Each battery also has four RBS 70 MANPADS launchers with Bolide missiles.

The low profile of the vehicle and folded platform allows ASRAD-R to be carried by most transport aircraft. An ASRAD-R unit can be deployed and ready for missile launch a few seconds after quickly coming to a halt. Each firing unit is equipped with four ready-to-fire missiles and is completely reloaded in < 1 min.
