美軍首次海外部署MADIS系統，強化菲律賓聯合防空能力

在2025年「肩並肩」（Balikatan）美菲聯合軍演中，美國海軍陸戰隊首次在海外部署「海軍陸戰隊防空整合系統」（MADIS），以提升聯合防空能力。此次軍演於4月21日至5月9日在菲律賓舉行，參與人數達14,000人，包括9,000名美軍和5,000名菲律賓軍人。演習模擬全面戰鬥情境，涵蓋海上防禦、島嶼防衛等任務，特別針對台灣和南海等爭議地區。

MADIS系統由3d Littoral Anti-Air Battalion的地面防空電池操作，專門用於偵測和摧毀無人機。系統安裝在戰術車輛上，配備雷達、干擾器、刺針飛彈和30毫米機炮，能在不下車的情況下自動鎖定並擊落空中威脅。這次部署是MADIS系統繼1月在夏威夷進行首次實彈演習後的第二次實戰測試，也是首次在美國本土以外地區部署。

美軍與菲律賓海軍陸戰隊將共同進行整合防空與飛彈防禦演習，展示MADIS系統與菲方反無人機系統的協同作戰能力。這次部署強化了美菲在印太地區的軍事合作，並提升了對無人機等新興威脅的應對能力。

US Marines Deploy MADIS System Overseas for the First Time, Enhancing Joint Air Defense with the Philippines

During the 2025 “Balikatan” US-Philippines joint military exercise, the US Marine Corps deployed the Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) overseas for the first time to enhance joint air defense capabilities. The exercise, held from April 21 to May 9 in the Philippines, involves 14,000 personnel, including 9,000 US and 5,000 Philippine troops. It simulates full-scale combat scenarios, covering maritime defense and island protection, particularly focusing on contested areas near Taiwan and the South China Sea.

Operated by the 3d Littoral Anti-Air Battalion’s ground-based air defense battery, the MADIS system specializes in detecting and destroying drones. Mounted on tactical vehicles, it is equipped with radar, jammers, Stinger missiles, and a 30mm cannon, allowing operators to engage aerial threats without leaving the vehicle. This deployment marks the system’s second live-fire test following its initial exercise in Hawaii in January and its first deployment outside the continental United States.

US and Philippine Marines will conduct integrated air and missile defense exercises, demonstrating the coordination between MADIS and the Philippines’ own counter-drone systems. This deployment strengthens US-Philippine military cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region and enhances their ability to counter emerging threats such as drones.

Three Key Points:

First Overseas Deployment of MADIS Enhances Joint Air Defense
The US Marine Corps deployed the MADIS system overseas for the first time, conducting joint counter-drone exercises with the Philippine military to strengthen combined air defense capabilities.
MADIS System’s High Automation Improves Operational Efficiency
Mounted on tactical vehicles, the MADIS system features radar, jammers, Stinger missiles, and a 30mm cannon, enabling operators to automatically detect and neutralize aerial threats without dismounting, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
Strengthening US-Philippine Military Cooperation to Address Indo-Pacific Security Challenges
The exercise showcases US-Philippine collaboration in air defense, bolstering their capacity to address security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.
