MBDA EMADS

EMADS is a land-based local area air defence system from MBDA that fires the CAMM or CAMM-ER missile, the Common Anti-air Modular Missile and its extended range version, from vehicle-mounted launchers. MBDA describes it as highly effective and easily deployable, able to work standalone or inside a battlespace network, using third-party target information to engage targets that are out of line of sight of the local launcher or sensors. Soft Vertical Launch technology gives a 360 degree capability with a low launch signature, so launchers can be concealed and fired from urban settings or woodland clearings. Each scalable launcher carries multiple missiles on a conventional wheeled vehicle with good off-road capability, takes pre-launch targeting from a suitable radar and updates the missile in flight over a secure data link.
