About Team Yankee: Canada: ADATS Air Defence Platoon
Before the war broke out in 1985, the Canadian Defence Force had showed an interest in the Swiss company Oerlikon-Contraves's Air Defence Anti-Tank System (ADATS). Some test systems have been supplied to the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery in Germany to test its dual-purpose short range surface-to-air and anti-tank missile capabilities in combat. The Air Defense Anti-Tank System (ADATS) is a dual-purpose short range surface-to-air and anti-tank missile system based on the M113A2 vehicle. It was developed as a private venture by the Swiss company Oerlikon-Contraves, a member of the Rheinmetall Defence Group of Germany (launcher, radar and fire control) and the American Martin Marietta Corporation (missile). The ADATS missile is a laser-guided supersonic missile with a range of 10 kilometres, with an electro-optical sensor with TV and Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR). The carrying vehicle also has a search radar with an effective range of over 25 kilometres. This box includes two ADATS vehicles, one Decal sheet, and one Unit card. Models come unpainted. Some assembly may be required. Glue, paints, and supplies sold separately.
