The ADATS (M113) (Air Defence Anti-Tank System) is a variant of the ADATS complex for the Canadian army mounted on the M113A2 APC chassis. The installed missile system has a dual purpose: engagement of both high-speed (including low-flying) and slow-moving aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs, as well as armoured targets on the ground. The installation itself has a modular design, allowing it to be mounted on various armoured vehicles. The complex consists of 8 guided missiles in transport launch containers, a radar for target detection and missile guidance, a control computer, jam-resistant communications, and data transmission equipment to allow coordination between ADATS complexes and other equipment. Shortly after entering service, Canadian ADATS units were deployed to West Germany as part of Canada's NATO contribution, where they remained operational until 1994. A total of 36 systems were delivered and remained in service until 2012.
The ADATS (M113) was introduced in Update "Hot Tracks". Like the ADATS in the American tree, it is a dual-purpose tank destroyer and anti-aircraft platform. This is made possible by its MIM146 guided missiles, which carry a warhead equivalent to 7.86 kg of TNT and are capable of penetrating up to 900 mm of armour. In terms of anti-aircraft capabilities, its maximum engagement range is 10 km, which can sometimes be insufficient to effectively neutralise enemy aircraft. In addition, unlike its US counterpart, the ADATS (M113) lacks any cannon armament.
