Army Air Defence Command Control and Surveillance System HFLaAFüSys
The Army Air Defence Command and Control System HflaAFüSys, a real-time operating short range air defence system, provides the integration of the three primary military functions of Data Acquisition and Evaluation, Command & Control, and Weapon Control.
Army air defence system HFLaAFüSys: surveillance, command & control and fire control components connected by effective communication
HFlaAFüSys (Heeres Flugabwehr, Aufklärungs- und Führungssystem) was designed to protect moving Ground Forces as well as important sites or defence areas against low or/and medium altitude aerial threat. HFlaAFüSys integrated in standard NBC shelters and mounted on trucks, is a highly mobile and flexible air defence system that coordinates efficiently surveillance, command & control and fire control components. Medium and short range sensors provide by effective multi-sensor fusion up-to-date pictures of the air situation to provide situation awareness from bataillon command post down to battery command post. Advanced communication networks enable real-time and secure information exchange between sensor (data acquisition), command & control truck and the weapon systems. Thus, the integration of army air surveillance (FGR, LÜR) radar systems and the weapon systems (Roland, Gepard) with capabilities for automatic threat analysis and weapon coordination provide a common operational picture for effective army air defence. With the Low Level Air Picture Interface (LLAPI), a standard NATO data link connection enables the cooperation with NATO partners which is currently realised with the U.S. Army.
