Reconfigurable Air Defense (RAD)
Summary
SAIC is developing a modular air defense system called Reconfigurable Air Defense (RAD) to enhance protection against drone threats. This system aims to provide flexibility for maneuver forces that cannot be tied to a specific platform. The discussion highlights the increasing pressure drones are placing on short-range air defense capabilities.
