Description
The Future Local Area Air Defence System (FLAADS) family of ground- and ship-based surface-to-air missile systems is an initiative sponsored by the United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of Defense (MoD) in support of its armed forces. The FLAADS leverages technologies developed for the Sea Viper weapon system in service on the Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyers. The FLAADS Command and Control (C2) system features greater than 75% commonality of Sea Viper C2 software. The FLAADS family will also feature a common platform data link. The shipborne version should be operational by mid-2010s and the land-based variant by the end of the decade.
