FS25 ADATS 1 v1.0
Is a dual-purpose, short-range missile system designed to engage both aerial threats (such as aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs) and armored ground targets. Originally developed as a private venture by the Swiss company Oerlikon-Contraves in partnership with Martin Marietta (USA), it was designed to provide mobile air defense for troops and ground installations.
Key Technical Specifications
Missile System: The ADATS utilizes laser-guided supersonic missiles capable of reaching speeds of Mach
Range: The missiles have an operational range of approximately 10 kilometers.
Armament: Each unit typically carries eight ready-to-fire missiles in containers.
Sensors: The system is equipped with a pulse Doppler search radar (with a range of over 25 km) and an electro-optical device that includes both television and Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensors for day/night and all-weather operation.
Platform: While often associated with the M113A2 tracked vehicle, the system was designed with a modular architecture, allowing it to be mounted on various tracked or wheeled vehicles, or used in fixed/shelter-mounted configurations.
Operational History
Canada: Canada was the launch customer, ordering 36 systems in 1986.
United States: The U.S. Army evaluated the ADATS (designated MIM-146) on the M2 Bradley chassis for its Forward Area Air-Defense (FAAD) program. However, following the end of the Cold War, the U.S. program was cancelled, and the system was never fielded by the U.S. Army.
The Royal Thai Air Force acquired a static, shelter-based version of the system linked to a Skyguard fire control system.
