The Integrated Air Defense System (called Scutum) is the New Roman Imperium Ministry of Defense system designed to connect all aspects of the Roman military's air defense capabilities. This program was created in an attempt to make the New Roman Imperium an impenetrable shield. The Roman military was inspired by air defense systems such as Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System and Iron Dome. The Scutum system is operated by the Air Denial Unified Command, which is a unified combat command, and aggregates all data taken from air defense radars. Each radar system can talk to all missiles and provide updated tracking information, if required.

Army
The Republic Army operates a sizable air defense, dedicating an entire command to it. Their air defense capabilities range from close-in weapons systems (CIWS) to basic ballistic missile defense.
Close-in Weapons System
The Republic Army operates three CIWS systems: Terra Testudo, SPAD Mk. 2, and SPAAG Mk. 3. Terra Testudo is the land based version of the Republic Navy's Testuso CIWS, which uses a 20mm rotary cannon system and short range surface to air missile. These systems are placed around sensitive areas and installations. The capital of Rome has an undisclosed number around the city. Additionally, all military bases have at least one of these systems. Being a close-in weapons system, Terra Testudo is considered the last line of defense, and is only effective against cruise missiles, helicopters, low flying fixed-wing aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicless. Many political circles think that if a nation relies on its CIWS, it has already lost.
The SPAD Mk. 2 is a self-propelled air defense system. This system provides mobile, short-range aair defense protection for ground units against cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, low-flying fixed-wing aircraft, and helicopters. The system is an armored tracked vehicle designed to operate alongside armored units. Units where designed with two pods, each containing four missiles.
The SPAAG Mk. 3 is a self-propelled air defense system. This system provides mobile, short-range aair defense protection for ground units against cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, low-flying fixed-wing aircraft, and helicopters. The system is an armored tracked vehicle designed to operate alongside armored units. Units have two 25mm rotary machine guns, one on each side of the turret.
