Nor do they use ESSM, SM-2, SM-6 or SM-3. Mistral is not integrated with the CMS or autonomous in action; they might end embarking it as an additional system in combatants or in auxiliaries, but I’m pretty sure the Mogamis will come with Sea RAM.

At present no, but even the older semi-active guided ESSM Blk1 has been test fired successfully from NASAMS in the past using an MPQ-46 illuminator from Norway's older 'Hawk' systems. The US 'Typhon' Strategic Mid Range Fires system (with the B.O.C linked to an appropriate radar/s) would seemingly fit the bill for both the RAAF's AIR 6502 'Medium Range Ground Based Air Defence' & AIR-6503 'Advanced High-Speed Missile Defence' projects using SM-6 & SM-3, with the added capability of being able to fire TLAM if desired.
