Ground based air defence missile system
Spada 2000
Operational requirement
A system capable of protecting of vital assets from air attacks conducted in a dense ECM and clutter environment, including precision guided munitions and tactical missiles.
The MBDA solution
SPADA 2000 is a unique all weather solution for that mission. Its design comprises the following:
-modular, flexible and open architecture for dispersed deployment of constituent units
-high tactical mobility and aero-transportability, through extensive use of ISO Standard modules and special built-in devices for lifting and levelling
-fast deployment and set-to-operate, thanks to the embedded mission planning, digital map loading and processing, automatic navigation and automatic system initialisation
-enhanced firing power and engagement envelope to counter simultaneous attacks of targets in close formation
-capable of integrating and of tactically co-ordinating existing light anti-air weapons, such as guns.
MAIN FEATURES and ADVANTAGES
The basic SPADA 2000 configuration consists of a Detection Centre and of 2 Firing Sections (expandable to 4). Up to 10 light anti-air weapons can be managed by the system in addition to its Firing Sections.
The Detection Centre is composed of a 3D volumetric air surveillance radar having a TWS capability of up to 100 air tracks, within its 60 km range, and of an Operation Centre
The Firing Section is composed of a tracking and illumination radar with its control unit and of two Missile Launchers, with 6 ready-to-fire ASPIDE 2000 missiles each.
The tracking and Illumination radar has an effective range of 40 km, while the ASPIDE 2000 missile has an intercept envelope of over 20 km.
