  MUGAST is a state-of-the-art silicon array combining trapezoidal and square
shaped double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSD) to four MUST2 telescopes.
Coupled to a {\gamma}-ray spectrometer, the excellent angular coverage and
compacity of the MUGAST array make it an ideal tool for the study of transfer
reactions. It is a first step toward the development of the new generation of
silicon arrays using pulse shape analysis (PSA) for particle identification,
such as the future GRIT array developed by our collaboration. In recent years,
MUGAST has been widely used at GANIL. First with the AGATA {\gamma}-ray
spectrometer and the VAMOS large acceptance spectrometer for the study of ISOL
beams from the SPIRAL1 facility. It is now coupled with twelve EXOGAM clovers
and to a new zero degree detection system at the end of the LISE fragmentation
beamline.
