Dépèche transmise le 9 mars 2012 par PRNewswire
LONDON, March 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
The capability to defend a specific territorial space from attack by missiles, rockets, artillery, mortars and air breathing threats is clearly crucial for modern militaries. The challenge remains however to implement a fully integrated air and missile defence system in the face of current budgetary limitations.
Nick Young, Senior Systems Engineer at Cobham, formally a technical expert at QinetiQ who advised the Ministry of Defence on the introduction of the Principal Anti Air Missile System (PAAMS) - now known as Sea Viper. He spoke in detail to Defence IQ on what this air defence system brings, how it compares to other platforms currently available and its future capabilities.
According to Young, Sea Viper is improving air and missile defence and the scope and ability for it to be developed. While Sea Viper is impressive, the US cannot be beaten on volume of munitions. At Integrated Air and Missile Defence 2012 [http://www.airmissiledefenceevent.com/Event.aspx?id=681942 ], briefings from NATO and the Czech Army will explore the future of multinational air and missile defence and debate between this reliance and independent capability.
