The TLVS/MEADS power and communications unit is transportable via C-130, designed for mobility and rapid emplacement across a broad range of terrain and has a reliable design that powers both TLVS/MEADS radars. (Photo Courtesy of TLVS/MEADS International)  

The 360-degree active electronically steered array Surveillance Radar and MFCR can act as nodes on the TLVS/MEADS, or other future integrated air and missile defense networks, to give the warfighter more capability and flexibility. (Photo Courtesy of TLVS/MEADS International)

Each TLVS/MEADS element is lightweight, truck-mounted and mobile enough to move as the mission requires, with rotating radars and advanced launchers that provide 360-degree capability via networked, open architecture software. (Photo Courtesy of TLVS/MEADS International)
