Overview
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
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.
