The Portuguese Army has integrated its SICCA3 C2 system for anti-aircraft artillery with the SDAN national air defence system operated by the Portuguese Air Force.
‘The next step will be the development of the necessary actions for the operational integration of this system,’ the Portuguese MoD noted in a 31 October statement.
Doctrine and joint operational procedures will also have to be standardised between the army and air force.
SICCA3 allows information to flow in real time between anti-aircraft weapon system operators, C2 facilities and the Portuguese Air Force for ‘air defence in a joint environment’, the MoD added.
