MANPAD C2 System

A Link 16-based C2 system that integrates MANPAD systems into air-defence networks for bidirectional information exchange with higher echelons.

Overview

MANPAD systems such as STINGER, STRELA or MISTRAL are often used standalone and are not part of an air-defence network.

The Link 16-based C2 system for MANPADs offers a cost-effective, efficient solution for integrating these systems into air-defence networks. It enables the bidirectional information exchange with other air-defence systems and High Echelon Units (HEU), providing concrete operational benefits for the MANPAD systems.

Key capabilities

  • Enhanced situational awareness
  • Improved weapon effectiveness
  • Friendly force protection
  • Weapon coordination with other air-defence systems
  • Reduced workload and fatigue for the MANPAD operators
