The Advanced Multi Layered Information System (AMLIS) is a Serrian integrated threat management and combat tasking system developed by Verrani Combat Systems, a subsidiary of Verrani, S.p.A. It uses powerful computer and radar technology to track and guide weapons to destroy enemy targets.

Initially developed for and solely used by the Serrian Navy, as of 2022 AMLIS-equipped vessels are now used also by the Icarian Navy, Edusan Navy, Cadenzan Navy, Estian Navy, and Vrijer Navy, and planned for use by other navies around the world.

Additionally, the AMLIS Ground-Based Defense has expanded the scope of the system to defend against a wider variety of targets. Today, it serves as the primary aerial threat management combat system against hypersonics, ballistic warheads, missiles, aircraft, artillery, mortars, and drones.

Overview

Background

Following the end of the Great War and the development of nuclear weapons, Serria's island geographical advantage became less of a deterrent from attack. The necessity to engage long-range bomber attacks became a strategic imperative, and the Alton Initiative was launched in June 1946. The initiative focused on rapidly funding the development, procurement, and deployment of anti-aircraft missiles, eventually leading to Serria's first surface-to-air missile batteries being deployed within the decade in 1949.

With the first signs of the growing threat of nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, the first focus on an Serrian anti-ballistic missile defense began to occur in the 1950s.

AMLIS Ashore

The AMLIS Ashore program encompasses the AMLIS Ballistic Advanced Ground Launched Interceptor (BAWGLI), AMLIS Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (CRAM), AMLIS Advanced Surface to Air Missile (ASAM) and AMLIS Advanced Long-Range Surface to Air Missile (ALRSAM). These systems have expanded the capabilities and scope of the AMLIS system to fight against threats from platforms based on land.
