AMADS – Advanced man-portable air defence system

The AMADS offers a highly innovative, cost-effective solution to enhance performance of Man Portable Air Defence (MANPAD). The AMADS comprises the command post Battle Management Software (BMS) and MANPAD cueing system. The BMS allows the commander to forward real-time situation awareness data and control orders (fire, airspace, weapon) to MANPAD teams.

The MANPAD cueing system is an easy-to-learn, easy-to-use, cue-to-target aid for operators.

BMS includes a mission planning tool to optimize MANPAD placements and weapon assignments
BMS receives and processes data from a wide range of radars and sensors
BMS links MANPAD teams to become part of an integrated air defence solution
BMS allows total radar and radio silent operation of the MANPAD teams
MANPAD cueing system receives, processes, and displays control orders information
MANPAD cueing system provides visual target cues to guide the MANPAD operator to the designated target

MMR – Multi-mission radar

In collaboration with IAI Elta, Rheinmetall Canada is proposing the MMR radar, the solution preferred by the Canadian Armed Forces for their medium range radar project. The ELM-2084 MMR is a force multiplier featuring and combining the most advanced technical capabilities to provide a high performance system with excellent reliability and availability. The ELM-2084 MMR is designed to perform these missions, separately or simultaneously:
