The AD-08 is a short-range and low-altitude air defense system fully designed and developed by the Iranian defense industry. The missile is designed to intercept and destroy UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Systems), cruise missiles, helicopters, and low-altitude aerial targets.

The AD-08 can be operated in all weather conditions and is capable to engage simultaneously four aerial targets using the four missiles mounted on the vehicle.

The new version of the AD-08 Majid is based on an Iveco Daily 4x4 light truck with a crew cabin at the front and a flatbed platform at the rear fitted with a launcher station consisting of four missile launcher canisters and an electro-optical system. The electro-optical system is used to acquire targets and to guide the missile.

The missile used by the AD-08 Majid air defense system is equipped with passive imaging infrared (IIR) homing guidance system. It can hit targets with a range from 700 m to 8 km and an altitude from 20 m to 6 km. The missile has a diameter of 156mm, a length of 2,670 mm, and a total weight of 75 kg.
