Mobile and Netted Air Defence Systems

Abstract

This paper describes a sensor and weapon independent co-ordination and communication concept for use in coming generations of mobile SHORAD and medium range air defense systems. Actually the proposed concept will handle most known weapon systems. The presented system generates and maintains a ratified total air picture from available track information whether from system specific radar sensors or from system external sensors via data links. Airspace Control Means, and their effect on Threat Evaluation and Weapon Allocation operations, are totally integrated in the system, allowing full and safe use of friendly aircraft during air defense operations. Powerful training- and simulation software allow fully synchronized system training sessions from classroom equipment or from any operator position in the system.
