Abstract
The Lightweight-Marine Air Defense Integrated System (L-MADIS) is a part of the MADIS Family of Systems (FoS) and protects maneuver forces from the threat of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), Fixed Wing and Rotor Wing (FW/RW), and other airborne threats throughout the operating environment while maintaining Marine Corps expeditionary requirements. The L-MADIS utilizes non-kinetic counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) capabilities, a beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) gateway with radio frequency link-16 capability, and a 360 degree radar onto a fighting pair of MRZRs. L-MADIS currently falls under Urgent Statement of Need, Central Command (CC) 0558 supporting operations within the Central Command area of operations as well as both east and west coast Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU). L-MADIS is currently the only C-UAS forward deployed system within the MEU construct to have proven effects on targets. The expeditionary nature that L-MADIS brings to the battlefield greatly increases the C-UAS capability, extending range well beyond other similar capabilities. The ability to transport L-MADIS via MV-22 Osprey or larger aircraft greatly increases tactical flexibility that a commander has to employ a C-UAS capability.
