The US Marine Corps (USMC) is testing two early versions of its new Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) Increment 1 to defeat aerial threats and is plotting ways to produce a future, more lethal version of the weapon, according to Don Kelley, the service's programme manager for Ground Based Air Defense and the programme executive officer for Land Systems.

The service has two MADIS Increment 1 engineering development models, similar to a prototype, and is planning to conduct an operational assessment of the weapon by the end of 2022 in anticipation of a Milestone C production decision around February 2023, Kelley told Janes during a 17 May interview.
