The SDAD 76 is a Sieuxerrian developed self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon. It uses the chassis of the AMX-45 and the AMX Napoleon. It is designed to intercept low-flying cruise missiles, aircraft, and helicopters from ranges longer that other conventional SPAAG systems. It complements short-range SAM systems for engagements out to 8 kilometers. It can be used to engage most combat helicopters at ranges exceeding their own anti-tank guided missiles.
