The Air Defense Anti-Tank System (ADATS) is a versatile and powerful weapon system that can engage both aerial and ground targets with high accuracy and speed. The ADATS uses laser-guided supersonic missiles that can reach a range of 10 kilometers and a speed of Mach 3+. The ADATS is mounted on a modified M113A2 armored personnel carrier, which provides mobility and protection for the crew of three.
The ADATS has a search radar that can detect targets up to 25 kilometers away, and an electro-optical sensor that can track targets using TV and FLIR cameras. The ADATS can operate in all weather conditions and at night, making it a formidable asset for air defense and anti-tank missions.
