based air defence.
A typical VL MICA ground-based air defence unit is or-
ganised around a vehicle-mounted shelter-protected
Tactical Operations Centre (TOC), also known as the
Platoon Command Post (PCP). It carries out all Command,
Control and Coordination functions, including real-time
engagement, mission planning, system monitoring and
connection with the higher level of command.

The TOC remotely controls a tri-dimensional radar mount-
ed on a separate vehicle and three to six vertical launcher
units mounted on further vehicles. The 360° system is par-
ticularly effective against saturation attacks by low-signa-
ture targets such as guided bombs and missiles (including
cruise missiles).

Today, MBDA is proposing its next-generation GBAD sys-
tems to provide a cutting-edge layered air defence for
the Malaysian Army and Malaysian Air Force. Modern
MBDA systems provide significantly enhanced range and
performance compared with Jernas, plus 360°, all-weath-
er coverage while minimizing support requirements.

EMADS
EMADS – or Enhanced Modular Air Defence Solutions to
give its full title - is a rapidly deployable point and area
defence system that protects mobile and static high-val-
ue assets. It provides all-weather protection against a
full spectrum of conventional and non-conventional air
targets, including low-level terrain-following threats and
those from high altitudes.

The system is the natural replacement for the Rapier-Jer-
nas air defence system and it represents a significant
upgrade in capability when compared with the previous
generation of systems.

EMADS deploys the Common Anti-air Modular Missile
(CAMM) and its extended range variant (CAMM-ER).
These missiles are designed for land and sea environ-
ments, incorporating advanced technologies to provide
complete protection against all known and projected
