ADSI
Air Defense System Integrator - Air Force command and control system providing theater-level interoperability between joint air defense assets.
System Overview
What It Is
ADSI (Air Defense System Integrator) is an Air Force-sponsored command and control system designed to facilitate theater-level interoperability between different air defense systems, serving as a bridge between Air Force and Army C2 architectures.
How It Works
ADSI correlates data from multiple air defense sensors and systems across services, creating a unified air picture. It ensures seamless data sharing between the Air Force and Army systems, specifically designed to interoperate with FAAD C2.
Primary Capability
Theater-level air defense C2 interoperability, bridging Air Force and Army systems for unified air picture management.
Overview
ADSI serves as the Air Force's solution for integrating air defense data across the joint force. Selected by the DoD as an interim C2 system for counter-small UAS alongside FAAD C2.
