Air Defense Weapons System
Abstract
Ground Based Air Defense Transformation (GBAD-T) - Based upon the deployment of the Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) Battalions and their employment of the Stinger Missile, GBAD-T transforms Air Defense equipment through technology insertion and equipment repackaging to address capability gaps as the result of equipment obsolescence and the emergent and evolving threats to the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). GBAD-T consists of three efforts: 1) systems engineering support of currently fielded LAAD equipment/assets to include the Stinger Mounted Optic and Mode 5/S IFF Directed UNS; 2) redesign and integration of the Advanced Man-Portable Air Defense System (A-MANPADS) Increment 1 Fire Unit Vehicle (FUV) into an operationally capable vehicle configuration; 3) design, test, and integrate new system for the Fire Unit Vehicle (FUV) to replace aging and failing technology. The replacement technology is required to retain interfaces with and be capable of receiving a Common Aviation Command and Control Systems (CAC2S) broadcasted link. It will also be capable of interfacing with legacy Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS) equipment.
