Today’s indispensable tool for the Army and Marines is radar for C-UAS and C-RAM
Leonardo DRS’ radars are the system-of-choice for the Army’s Mobile Short-Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) and USMC’s Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS).
Threatened by drones that can work collaboratively and without GPS or a command link, it's important to have radars that can detect hundreds of incoming tracks so they can be defeated.
Leonardo DRS head William Lynn tells Breaking Defense that more M&A activity could be coming.
Last month, the Army committed to buying an initial brigade's-worth of the Iron Fist Active Protection System for the M2 Bradley. Meanwhile, with Tuesday morning's announcement, the US is spending over $200 million to install the rival Trophy APS on not only Army but Marine Corps M1 Abrams tanks.
