LTAMDS and PAC-2 GEM-T successfully engage cruise missile threat in U.S. Army flight test

The test demonstrated the effectiveness of the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) in detecting, tracking, and classifying the target while integrated with the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS).

During the test, IBCS determined an engagement solution, enabling a Patriot Advanced Capability-2 Guidance Enhanced Missile – TBM (PAC-2 GEM-T) interceptor to destroy the target. The engagement was based on data from LTAMDS’s primary array, which was operating in a full 360° surveillance mode.

This successful flight test marks a critical step in the development of LTAMDS and its ability to support air and missile defence operations. The demonstration highlights the system’s advanced capabilities in countering evolving threats and enhancing battlefield readiness.
