C3I SYSTEMS
Air Defense (AD) system of ALES production (LETVIS® AD) provides an integrated C3I system for execution of air defense missions at any centralized and/or decentralized command level. The system represents a tool suitable for integration into fixed/mobile command and control (C2) centers for air operations execution to provide timely and effective protection of vital assets and areas. It is interoperable with both NATO and non-NATO systems.
The recognized air picture, derived from information provided by a radar network over the area of responsibility and processed by multi-radar tracker (MRT), is generated by the LETVIS® AD system. As integral part of the system are air defence functionalities such as target identification and classification, target assignment, computer-aided support to decision-making process for any level of command, etc. Thus, the system is intended for execution of air missions, simulation of combat activities, and personnel training, as well.
LETVIS® ADsystem is capable of centralized command of ground-based AD forces (GBAD) and control of weapon systems when integrated in mobile C2 centers of ALES production (ASTRA, TATRAPAN) or interfaced with other centers via standard communication protocols.
ASTRA ADis a transportable AD system designed for SHORAD SAM, AAA and MANPADS forces. GBAD forces and weapon systems are controlled from ASTRA mobile command post (MCP) located on a truck undercarriage. ASTRA provides the commander with accurate and timely information required for effective control / employment of short range SAM (optionally medium range SAM through modification of SW and communication equipment), MANPADS, and AAA weapon systems.
TATRAPAN ADis a mobile AD system designed for command and control of SAM units in real time. The system is mounted into armoured container located on chassis of wheeled vehicle. TATRAPAN was designed as replacement of the original K1 system for SAM control of SA-6 series.
The SAM upgrade of SA-13 series (GOPHER or S-10M designation) was accomplished by ALES to enable their integration into C2 system network. The system upgrade consists in modification of control and communication modules and advanced equipment implementation for improvement of combat effectiveness related to centralized command and SHORAD system interoperability.
