Mobile LIDS (M-LIDS)

Also known as
  • M-LIDS
  • Mobile LIDS
  • Mobile-LIDS
  • Sistema integrado de derrota móvil de aeronaves no tripuladas bajas, lentas y pequeñas
  • Sistema integrado de derrota móvil de UAS bajos, lentos y pequeños
  • Sistema integrado móvil de defensa contra aeronaves no tripuladas bajas y lentas

Mobile LIDS (M-LIDS) es el sistema integrado móvil de derrota de aeronaves no tripuladas bajas, lentas y pequeñas del U.S. Army. Leonardo DRS es el integrador principal de sistemas para una sección móvil counter-UAS que combina el radar Raytheon KuRFS/Ku720 y efectores Coyote, Northrop Grumman FAAD C2, guerra electrónica de SRC, un vehículo lanzador Coyote y una capa de derrota con cañón de cadena XM914 de 30 mm.

Sensores
Radar KuMRFS-M o radar móvil Ku720, cámara electroóptica/infrarroja, sensores de radiogoniometría e integración FAAD C2
Derrota cinética
Interceptores Coyote y un cañón de cadena XM914 de 30 mm en la torreta RIwP
Derrota no cinética
Capa de guerra electrónica de SRC, incluido el contexto CUAEWS en informes sobre LIDS
Contexto de entrenamiento
Entrenamiento counter-UAS Green Sands para dotaciones de Base Defense Operations Center en despliegue
Layered Mobile Architecture

M-LIDS debe entenderse mejor como una sección móvil counter-UAS que como un arma única. El registro público separa el sistema en capas de detección, control, ataque electrónico y derrota cinética que pueden entrenarse y emplearse juntas para defensa de bases y protección de maniobra.

Detección

RTX identifica KuRFS y la opción de radar móvil Ku720 como la capa de detección de LIDS, mientras que SRC e informes del Army sitúan la adquisición por radar y los sensores de radiogoniometría dentro de la arquitectura móvil.

Control

FAAD C2 vincula la imagen counter-UAS con el proceso de enfrentamiento; el entrenamiento Green Sands ha incluido FAAD C2 y tareas de dotaciones de defensa de base para unidades en despliegue.

Derrota

Los interceptores Coyote, el cañón de cadena XM914 de 30 mm y la guerra electrónica de SRC dan a la sección opciones de derrota mediante misil, cañón y medios no cinéticos frente a amenazas de UAS pequeños.

Variants

Las fuentes públicas describen M-LIDS como el miembro móvil de la familia LIDS más amplia e identifican Increment 2 e Increment 2.1 como las principales configuraciones móviles visibles actualmente en informes abiertos.

Kinetic Defeat Layer

M-LIDS uses a layered kinetic package rather than relying on a single gun or missile.

Sensors And Control

M-LIDS is a system of systems in which radar, command-and-control, and electronic attack cue the defeat layer.

RTX says LIDS uses KuRFS and its mobile Ku720 option for detection, while SRC and Army reporting place KuMRFS-M or radar acquisition inside the M-LIDS architecture.
