L-MADIS
Light Marine Air Defense Integrated System - lightweight vehicle-mounted C-UAS solution for rapid deployment.
System Overview
What It Is
L-MADIS is a lightweight, rapidly deployable counter-UAS system designed for expeditionary operations where larger systems cannot be employed.
How It Works
Mounted on an all-terrain vehicle, L-MADIS uses EO/IR and RF sensors to detect UAS threats. Electronic warfare systems jam command links and GPS signals to defeat threats.
Primary Capability
Lightweight counter-UAS capability for expeditionary forces, providing detection and electronic warfare defeat from a highly mobile platform.
Combat Record / Operational History
Successfully employed in multiple deployments, including notable intercepts in the Middle East.
Overview
L-MADIS fills a critical gap in Marine Corps air defense, providing a lightweight option for units that need rapid C-UAS capability.
