ADATS multipurpose missile system
ADATS (Air Defense Anti-Tank System - anti-aircraft and anti-tank system) is a short-range anti-aircraft missile system designed to destroy both low-flying air targets and ground-based armored targets. It was created by the Swiss company Oerlikon Contraves (now Rheinmetall Defense) and Oerlikon Aerospace from Quebec (now Rheinmetall Canada).
ADATS is in service with the Canadian army as a low-altitude anti-aircraft complex. The first complex was delivered in 1988 year. In total, 1994 complexes were supplied before 36. Thai Air Forces have one shelter complex integrated with Skyguard fire control system.
The complex has a modular design and can be installed on tracked or wheeled vehicles of various types, such as M113 and M3 Bradley. For example, the version of the complex for the Canadian army is made on the M113 BTR chassis, and the option for the American army is on the M3A1 Bradley chassis. In addition, there were attempts to integrate the ADATS complex with the MOWAG Piranha type chassis (1995x10 wheel formula) in 10. This version of the complex was to perform the tasks of air defense of airfields, power plants and other important objects.
Canadian complex is installed on the armored vehicle M113. Also available is its fixed version on the platform for installation in the shelter; This option can be integrated with the Skyshield anti-aircraft complex from Oerlikon Contraves.
Multi-purpose machine complex ADATS MULTI-MISSION EFFECTS VEHICLE (MMEV)
In September 2005, the Canadian Armed Forces announced the design and development of 33 Multi-Mission Effects Vehicles (MMEV) based on the ADATS complex. The MMEV was supposed to combine anti-tank and anti-aircraft capabilities in one platform and be capable of destroying ground targets such as armored vehicles and underground structures, as well as aircraft, helicopters, unmanned vehicles and cruise missiles. The vehicle was to be developed by the Canadian Armed Forces in conjunction with Rheinmetall Canada and Defense R&D Canada.
The MMEV system was to be based on the existing ADATS complex installed on LAV III 8x8 vehicles from General Dynamics Land Systems, which have been in service with the Canadian army since 2001. Along with the ADATS rocket, it was supposed that the MMEV system would fire an armored-piercing long-range missile and an indirect-guidance missile. In November 2006, the Canadian Army closed the MMEV project.

Network structure of the ADATS complex
ADATS complexes can be combined into a network structure consisting of six complexes located at a distance of 20 km. Any ADATS complex can become the main one, and the entire tactical node can be connected to other command objects in real time.
Fully automatic real-time data exchange includes airspace control data, weapon control, fire control, target identification data, the status of each system and vehicle position, assignment of target priorities and optimized weapon distribution, target lock conditions, weapon status, and electronic suppression triangulation data . A tactical unit of six complexes can capture air and ground targets simultaneously up to 48.
Communication channels are provided by radio stations with fast frequency tuning or a landline wire line. The fast tunable channel uses more than 2000 frequencies with 25 kHz channel spacing. The system architecture provides full-duplex data exchange and simultaneous half-duplex voice exchange.
Missile MIM-XNUMHA complex ADATS
The ADATS missile can destroy all types of low-flying targets, including assault helicopters flying at very low altitudes at distances beyond the range of hand-held complexes. ADATS anti-aircraft missile system has a range of 10 km for aerial or ground targets.
The rocket is guided by the laser beam, and the laser-guided grid is digitally encoded to increase accuracy and immunity to electronic countermeasure measures. Jet propulsion rocket smokeless, operating in the "acceleration-inertial motion." The maximum speed of the missile is more than 3M, and its maneuverability - 60g.
The rocket has a laser fuse with a different delay time, which is automatically set when the rocket is launched. The cumulative fragmentation warhead weighs 12 kg and has armor penetration up to 900 mm rolled homogeneous armor. The complex consists of eight anti-aircraft guided missiles in transport-launch containers.
Fire control and surveillance
ADATS optical-electronic systems for tracking targets and missile guidance are supplied by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control and are based on an improved version of the target detection system and target designation / night vision of the Apache helicopter TADS / PNVS.
The infrared front vision system (FLIR), based on the American universal module, operates in the range from 8 to 12 microns. It provides full operational readiness in all weather conditions. Other systems include a television system on a vidicon for daytime conditions, a carbon dioxide laser for pointing missiles and a range finder on a neodymium laser on an yttrium aluminum garnet, operating at a frequency of 1,06 microns.
Pulse-Doppler two-beam radar circular view, operating in the X range (from 5200 to 10900 MHz) is an improved version of the LPD-20 radar, developed by the Italian branch of the company Oerlikon Contraves. It is used to capture and identify targets and allows the ADATS complex to operate autonomously. The radar has a fast frequency tuning and is truly coherent. The radar of the main ADATS complex can transmit targets to other complexes in the tactical node, while their radars operate in silent mode.
The capabilities of the radar to work in target tracking mode during the scanning process and computer-aided evaluation of 20 targets in the network configuration simultaneously allow the operator to distribute the means of destruction for targets with the highest priority. The system can also conduct a programmed search in motion and search by sector. The range of action is 25 km to a height of 8600 meters.
The sequence of capture and destruction of targets
The time from the initial detection of the target to the launch of a rocket is less than five seconds. The capture sequence begins with the detection of the target and the corresponding rotation of the turret, in the case of firing at air targets using radar, an infrared front view system and a television system, and in the case of firing at ground targets using an infrared front view system and a television system. The sequence of searching and capturing targets for tracking is performed using an infrared front-view system and a television guidance system.
The launch and guidance of the rocket is carried out using infrared and television target tracking systems and a carbon dioxide laser beam. The time required for the launch of the second rocket after the completion of the first cycle is less than two seconds.
