Abstract :
We will show how the emergence of new threats is going to affect the operational and technical requirements for Air Defense Systems. We will demonstrate that current ADSs which are augmented by modern VHF radars can be connected together on signal fusion principles, and that such structures are achieving improved effectiveness of airspace control in times of crises or war.
