What Is MEADS? Tri-national program to to develop an Air and Missile Defense system that meets current and future Air Defense needs for German, Italian, and U.S. forces Replacement for Patriot, Hawk, and Nike Hercules Tri-national contractor team includes Lockheed Martin, European Aeronautic Defence and Space (EADS), and MBDA-Italia Execution oversight by a NATO organization (NAMEADSMA) M115-1405-2
International Technical Requirements Document (ITRD) The organic MEADS battery must be able to Defend critical assets (to a specified performance level) Defeat simultaneous ballistic and air-breathing threats (given several attack scenarios) Stressing speed, maneuverability, and low detectability Attack from any direction Operate in difficult ECM and weather environments Deploy via C-130/A400M, with tactical mobility to support maneuver forces Complex and stressful performance requirements G:/BMIT/PRESENTATIONS/M032_516 Per telecon with C.
