Story by Hope Hodge Seck • 14h


Summary and Key Points: The Marine Corps' long-awaited Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) is set for accelerated deployment, starting with Hawaii’s 3rd Littoral Anti-Air Battalion in fiscal 2025.


-Mounted on Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, MADIS is designed to neutralize unmanned aerial threats using a combination of Stinger missiles, jammers, and advanced detection systems.

-The system has already proven its effectiveness, with its first successful drone kill in 2019.
 
-As the Marine Corps plans to acquire 190 MADIS and 21 L-MADIS units by FY29, the system is poised to become a critical component in countering evolving drone threats in coastal and battlefield environments.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
