The Lockheed Martin Protitankový systém protivzdušné obrany (MIM-146 ADATS) je dvouúčelový protitankový raketový systém krátkého dosahu založený na vozidle M113A2. Střela ADATS je laserem naváděná nadzvuková střela s doletem 10 kilometrů (6,2 mil), s elektrooptickým senzorem s TV a Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR). Nosné vozidlo má také vyhledávací radar s efektivním dosahem přes 25 kilometrů (16 mil).

General Characteristics
The Air Defense Anti-Tank System (ADATS) is a dual-purpose, short-range surface-to-air and anti-tank missile system. It was developed by the Swiss company Oerlikon Contraves and the American company Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin). ADATS was designed to engage both high-speed aircraft and heavily armored ground targets using the same missile. The system is self-contained in an unmanned turret, featuring both a search radar and passive electro-optical sensors for stealthy operation. It was primarily adopted by Canada on a modified M113 chassis. The US Army canceled its planned large-scale purchase (MIM-146) in the early 1990s following the end of the Cold War and performance issues in inclement weather.

Missile and Guidance (MIM-146)
- Missiles Carried: 8 ready-to-fire missiles in launch containers.
- Missile Guidance: Digitally coded Laser Beam-Riding. The missile is guided along a laser beam aimed at the target by the operator.
- Missile Speed: Supersonic, greater than Mach 3.
- Range (Air/Ground): Up to 10 km (6.2 miles) against air targets; up to 6 km against ground targets.
- Service Ceiling: 7,000 m (23,000 ft).
- Warhead: 12.5 kg Dual-Purpose High-Explosive (HE) shaped-charge/fragmentation.
- Armor Penetration: Stated as greater than 900 mm (90 cm) of Rolled Homogeneous Armour (RHA).
- Fuzing: Laser proximity fuse (for air targets) and mechanical impact fuse (for ground targets).
Sensors and Command
- Search Radar: X-band Pulse-Doppler radar with a range of over 25 km.
- Passive Sensors: Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) and high-resolution Television (TV) camera for target tracking, allowing passive engagement to reduce detectability.
- Laser Rangefinder: Used to determine target distance.
- Network Capability: Features an integrated C3 system, allowing up to six ADATS units to network and operate as a single tactical unit for coordinated defense, with one unit acting as the network master.
- US Evaluation Variant: The version evaluated by the US Army on the M3 Bradley chassis also included a 25 mm M242 Bushmaster cannon.
