The M90 Bourdon (Jackian: Bumblebee) is a Montesayettean highly mobile, short-range surface-to-air missile system designed and manufactured by the Defense Industry Corporation of Montesayette.

The Bourdon is visually aimed and uses electro-optical and infrared guidance, with the additional capability to use radars for target acquisition and range measurement. It is primarily intended to engage low-altitude threats, such as helicopters. The system is mounted on a modified, lengthened version of the VBTA 80 Bélier's crawler chassis, which allows for the stowage of up to 10 extra missiles.
