Description
The Land-Based Air Defence Systems Report
Since the early 1990s, military air defence systems and programs have transitioned from a Cold War mindset to focusing on a completely different future enemy, one that launches terrorist attacks or military strikes in the form of cruise missiles, UAVs and aircraft used as weapons. The technology behind these systems, as well as the systems themselves, are therefore having to change to meet the demands of 21st century warfare and national defence strategies.
Today there is a significant bipolarisation within the air defence systems market. Generally, the emphasis is on either cost-effective Short Range Air Defence (SHORAD) and Very Short Range Air Defence (VSHORAD) systems, intended to aid in the defence of the lightly armoured, mobile forces now widely favoured for use in low-intensity warfare, or the almost prohibitively expensive Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) programmes, which are systems intended for either national defence or for the protection of strategic assets against ballistic missile attack.
