Integrated air and missile defence is structurally vulnerable when it cannot sustain continuous, engagement-relevant detection and tracking across all azimuths and relevant elevation angles within the defended volume.
The central failure mode is not the limitation of a single radar platform, but a network-level surveillance deficit in which one or more approach sectors are intermittently unobserved, observed too late, or observed with insufficient track quality to support timely engagement decisions.
This analysis answers: What performance requirements and adequacy thresholds define 360-degree radar coverage for integrated air and missile defence? Why is the network-level surveillance deficit, rather than single-radar limits, the central failure mode? What system architecture, components and integration dependencies underpin continuous all-azimuth detection and tracking? What industrial-base, value-chain and sustainment bottlenecks affect this capability and its actors?
