Mobile-Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft Integrated Defeat System


Mobile-Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft Integrated Defeat System is a mobile counter-unmanned aerial system developed for the United States Army. It is designed to detect, track, and neutralize small unmanned aerial systems, commonly known as drones.

Overview

M-LIDS is engineered to counter small, low-flying, and slow-moving drones that are often used for surveillance, reconnaissance, and attacks; the system comprises advanced detection systems, including sophisticated radar and electronic warfare capabilities. For neutralization, M-LIDS employs a cannon or kinetic interceptors such as the Coyote missile, as well as electronic warfare measures to disable or destroy the drone threats

Connection to C-RAM

M-LIDS is often deployed with the Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) system. While C-RAM intercepts rockets, artillery, and mortar rounds, M-LIDS focuses on aerial threats from drones, providing comprehensive defense.
