MEADS (Medium Extended Air Defence System)
Equipped with a 360° radar system, a command post with leading-edge technology and hit-to-kill missiles, the system can combat all airborne targets, including cruise missiles and tactical-ballistic missiles. DIscover the MEADS capabilities through this video.
MEADS Capability Nodes
MEADS is the first component-based, networked air and missile defense (AMD) system. Unlike existing stovepipe systems, MEADS permits nations to contribute individual radars, launchers, or MEADS battle managers to regional defenses under a NATO umbrella. Plug-and-fight operation allows components from many nations to be brought together quickly to form regional defenses. Learn more at www.meads-amd.com

MEADS Networked 360-Degree Defense
Germany has selected the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) as the basis for its new €4 billion air and missile defense system. That's because 360-degree MEADS has no blind spots and intercepts threats in any direction. MEADS defends 8 times the coverage with fewer system elements than legacy systems. MEADS introduces a networked open system architecture with plug-and-fight capability to readily add sensors and weapon systems to create regional defenses. Learn more at www.meads-amd.com
