Italijanska vojska je primila drugi
Citat: Italian Air Force has taken delivery of its second MAADS (Medium Advanced Air Defence System) fire unit, OCCAR announced.
The delivery also includes additional maintenance and support equipment, the first direct support unit, and the MAADS system simulator for the training of Air Force operators. The testing and verification activities were conducted at Rivolto Air Base, near Udine, the home of the Air Force's 2° Stormo (2nd Wing), from the end of July.
According to an OCCAR statement, these milestones were achieved through close cooperation between the Italian Air Force, the OCCAR FSAF-PAAMS Programme Division, and the industrial contractor MBDA Italia.
MAADS is a new generation medium-range missile defence system developed by MBDA using the CAMM-ER missile. The system is replacing the Italian Air Force's SPADA system as the Short Range Air Defence (SHORAD) capability, and acquiring new capacity at medium range.
CAMM-ER is the extended-range missile of the new generation CAMM family of air defence missiles developed by the United Kingdom and Italy. It is replacing Aspide in the air defence systems of the Italian Air Force and the Italian Army. The missile is equipped with an advanced active seeker and a “cold launch” system (Soft Vertical Launch). CAMM-ER has a different aerodynamic profile and features a larger motor, designed by AVIO, to provide an extended range.
