MEADS MEDIUM EXTENDED AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM
MEADS WORLD CLASS THEATER AIR & MISSILE DEFENSE MEADS has been developed to defeat next-generation threats including tactical ballistic missiles (TBMs), unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, and aircraft. Proven hit-to-kill technology provides the best defense against TBMs armed with weapons of mass destruction. MEADS is the first air and missile defense (AMD) system that provides continuous on-the-move protection for maneuver forces. MEADS also provides area defense, homeland defense, and weighted asset protection. 360-Degree Protection. MEADS defeats cruise missiles, TBMs, and air- breathing threats attacking from any direction, with no blind spots. Transportability and Mobility. Lightweight, efficient MEADS Major End Items (MEIs) need less strategic and tactical transport. MEADS is C-130/ A400M transportable and has excellent cross-country mobility on ground. Netted-Distributed Architecture with Plug-and- Fight. MEADS provides operational flexibility to tailor battle elements using distributed sensors, launchers, and tactical operations centers (TOCs). Through its plug-and-fight capability, MEADS sensors, effectors, or other TOCs simply act as nodes on the MEADS network. A commander can dynamically add or subtract elements without shutting the system down. A standardized interface extends plug-andfight to non-meads elements. This flexibility is unprecedented for ground-based AMD systems. Contact Information MEADS International, Inc. P.O.

Designed for coalition fighting, MEADS shares communications with external sensors and data links such as airborne C3 systems, ACCS, SAMOC, AEGIS, THAAD, and Patriot. Survivability and Sustainability. MEADS defends the force and defends itself. High off-road mobility, dispersion, and availability provide additional protection for the system. ECM resistance and distributed workload increase survivability. Graceful degradation and optimized on-board provisions result in high operational availability. Diagnostics minimize downtime and reduce resources to sustain fielded systems for extended periods. Lower Operation and Sustainment Costs. Advanced logistic design and reliability reduce cost of ownership. No maintenance company is required. Using its 360-degree defensive capability, advanced radars, and PAC-3 MSE missile, MEADS defends up to eight times the coverage area with far fewer system assets and significantly reduces demand for deployed personnel and equipment, which reduces demand for airlift.

MINIATURE HIT-TO-KILL INTERCEPTOR AFFORDABLE, EFFECTIVE AND OPERATIONALLY FLEXIBLE C-RAM INTERCEPTOR
MINIATURE HIT-TO-KILL: PROVIDING REVOLUTIONARY CAPABILITIES PRODUCT FEATURES Designed to intercept and defeat rocket, artillery and mortar (RAM) threats with the unique capability to counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) Utilizes the Hit-to-Kill technology which provides overwhelming lethality Provides 360 degree hemispherical protection and extended range Effectively combats multiple close range threats and saturation attacks Deep magazine and high rate of fire Affordable life cycle cost Day or night and all-weather capable SMALL MISSILE, BIG MISSION Today s global security environment demands agile, close-range solutions that protect soldiers and citizens from enemy rockets, artillery, mortars and UAVs. The Miniature Hit-to-Kill (MHTK) interceptor provides the range, lethality and reliability of Hit-to-Kill products in a compact design that will integrate with existing Air and Missile Defense platforms. Less than two and a half feet in length and approximately five pounds at the time of launch, the agile solution defeats hemispherical threats of combat RAM and UAVs. MHTK s extended range, deep magazine and high rate of fire provide 360 degree coverage to defeat complex, integrated attacks. Unlike traditional interceptors which rely on large fragmentation warhead technology creating dangerous blast fragmentation debris with questionable ability to defeat the toughest threats the MHTK uses concentrated levels of kinetic energy, to eliminate the threat. The MHTK is designed to be small in size while retaining the range and lethality desired in a counter RAM (C-RAM) solution with the reliability of other Lockheed Martin Hit-to-Kill interceptors.

THAAD ENDO/EXO-ATMOSPHERIC INTERCEPT CAPABILITY
THAAD OVERVIEW The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system is a key element of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). The system defends U.S. troops, allied forces, population centers and critical infrastructure against short and mediumrange ballistic missiles. Each THAAD system is comprised of five major components: interceptors, launchers, a radar, a fire control unit, and support equipment. THAAD is managed by the Missile Defense Agency; Lockheed Martin serves as the prime contractor and systems integrator; and the THAAD system is operated by the U.S. Army. THAAD S ADVANCED CAPABILITIES Able to engage a wide class of ballistic missile threats in both the endo-and exoatmosphere using proven hit-to-kill technology Effective against all types of ballistic missile warheads including Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Designed to counter mass raids with its high firepower (up to 72 Interceptors per battery), capable organic radar and powerful battle manager and fire control capability. Mobile and rapidly deployable to provide warfighters with greater flexibility to adapt to changing threat situations around the globe. Interoperable with other BMDS elements, working in concert with Patriot and PAC-3, Aegis, forward based sensors and the Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) to maximize integrated air and missile defense capabilities THAAD MILESTONES The U.S. Army has activated 7 of 7 programmed THAAD batteries as of December 2016. In April 2013, the U.S. Army conducted the first-ever operational deployment of a THAAD battery followed by a second operational deployment in April 16. THAAD currently remains deployed in Guam and South Korea to defend against regional missile threats and reinforce regional stability. THAAD has consistently exceeded U.S. Army operational readiness standards both in the United States and while forward deployed. THAAD maintains a 100 percent mission success rate since 2005, including 15-for-15 successful intercepts. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) became the first International partner to procure the THAAD system with a contract awarded in December 2011. THAAD s unique layered defense capabilities have resulted in a strong interest for the system in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Europe. Lockheed Martin has conducted new equipment training and replacement training for over 1,500 Soldiers at Fort Bliss, Texas. The THAAD Institutional Training Base at the U.S. Army Fires Center of Excellence was officially opened in January 2015 and continues to train THAAD crew members and leaders.
