At Eurosatory 2014, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems exhibits MIC4AD – an advanced, unified, integrated C4I system that commands and controls the operation of both air and missile defence, including air-superiority missions. MIC4AD provides a total solution for multi-system, multi-layer and multi-range air and missile defence, traditionally operated as separate commands.
MIC4AD correlates real-time data from distributed sensors/platforms (radars, IFF system, data links, electro-optics), all connected to the air traffic control picture and mission planning system. The data is analysed to deliver a real-time, coherent national Air Situation Picture (ASP).
Simultaneously, MIC4AD performs threat assessment and hostile target classification, generating an interception plan for threats at any command level (national, regional, tactical). MIC4AD optimises resource management and swiftly allocates the most appropriate defence system, such as SPYDER, DAVID’s SLING, IRON DOME, or other customer systems to the type of challenge. Response includes target allocation to weapon systems (TAWA - Threat Assessment Weapon Allocation) with full, semi-automatic or manual fire control according to customer doctrine.
MIC4AD open, modular architecture can be adapted to customer operational needs. The system can be integrated with a customer’s existing or future air and missile defence. This flexibility allows incorporating new technologies and systems with the existing arrangement. MIC4AD can serve as an add-on to the customer’s current C4I setup, or replace existing systems entirely.
Highly automated, easy-to-use and with advanced interactive displays, MIC4AD is a true force-multiplier. Enabling unified command and fire control of multiple air and missile defence systems, MIC4AD delivers multi-mission, multi-layer and multi-range C4I capabilities that ensure end-to-end air and missile protection.
