The Medium Extended Air Defence System (MEADS) is a multinational effort to develop a highly mobile and flexible air defence system. Its 360-degree coverage and ability to simultaneously engage multiple threats make it particularly valuable in modern warfare. MEADS uses the PAC-3 MSE missile, offering improved maneuverability and range compared to traditional PAC-3 interceptors. The system’s open architecture facilitates seamless integration with other air defence systems and future upgrades. Its rapid deployment capability and ability to protect mobile units make it especially useful for expeditionary operations.
