Short-Range Air Defense (SHORAD)
Providing fully integrated solutions today, for tomorrow’s evolving threats
SHORAD
Northrop Grumman’s short-range air defense (SHORAD) capabilities protect U.S. and allied forces from a wide range of manned and unmanned air and missile threats.
Our capabilities integrate sensors, weapons, and command & control to acquire, track, verify, engage and defeat current and evolving threats. Northrop Grumman is leveraging its work on IM-SHORAD to advance the Army’s shift to great-power focused, multi-domain operations, specifically for the Maneuver Short Range Air Defense mission.
Northrop Grumman's SHORAD Capabilities
FAAD
Forward Area Air Defense (FAAD) utilizes multiple sensors to provide a single integrated air picture (SIAP) to all SHORAD weapons, along with engagement orders and weapon control status to provide complete situational awareness.
AMDWS
The Air and Missile Defense Workstation (AMDWS) contributes to combat effectiveness by combining intelligence, network and sensor data to provide an integrated view of the battlefield over tactical and special purpose communications networks in near real-time.
RAM Warn
Rocket Artillery Mortar Warning (RAM Warn) provides early, localized warning of indirect fire threats to all Army maneuver Brigade Combat Teams (BCT). The RAM Warn system is a result of horizontal technology insertion using C-RAM warning capability, integrated with existing radars organic to the BCT.
Tactical Operations Centers
U.S. Army Air and Missile Defense Tactical Operations Centers, based on the Command Post Platform (CPP), deployed around the world in Air and Missile Defense Planning and Control Systems (AMDPCS), Air Defense and Airspace Management (ADAM) cells at the Brigade Combat Teams and in SHORAD Battalions.
