Air Defense Systems Support

Modern Air Defense Challenges

Air and missile defense has never been more complex. Modern threats include stealthy fighters, supersonic cruise missiles, hypersonic weapons, and swarms of unmanned aircraft. Effective defense requires detecting threats at maximum range, discriminating threats from clutter and decoys, coordinating multiple weapon systems for optimal engagement geometry, and executing all these functions in seconds. Our air defense IT solutions address these challenges by integrating sensors, weapons, and command systems into unified networks. The result is layered defense where long-range missiles engage distant targets while short-range systems protect against leakers.

Radar Integration & Sensor Fusion

Air defense begins with comprehensive surveillance. We integrate multiple sensor types including long-range surveillance radars detecting threats at 400+ km, fire control radars providing precision tracking for engagement, electro-optical and infrared sensors for passive detection, and electronic support measures identifying threat emitters. Sensor fusion algorithms correlate detections from multiple sensors, creating single integrated air picture eliminating duplicate tracks. The fused picture distributes to all connected units via Link 16 tactical data links, ensuring everyone sees the same air situation in real-time.

Fire Control & Weapons Integration

Detecting threats is insufficient—air defense must shoot them down. Our fire control solutions implement automated engagement sequencing based on threat priority and engagement zones, deconfliction preventing multiple units from wasting weapons on the same target, kill assessment determining whether targets were destroyed, and coordination with electronic warfare creating synergies between kinetic and non-kinetic effects. The system supports surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft artillery, and directed energy weapons, automatically selecting the most effective weapon for each threat.

Command & Control Infrastructure

Effective air defense requires centralized command and control coordinating assets across hundreds of kilometers. Our air defense command systems provide common operational picture showing all friendly sensors and weapons, threat evaluation assessing which threats pose greatest danger, weapon assignment allocating defensive resources optimally, and airspace control preventing friendly fire against own aircraft. The command system integrates with higher echelon air operations centers and adjacent air defense units, creating seamless coverage across theater-wide operations.
