The radar
provides target detection – in close range and up until the radar
horizon for surface and air targets in adverse weather conditions. The
SCANTER 4100s high resolution pictures offer situational awareness for
missions from Search & Rescue to self-defense.
The first radar system including stabilized platforms and antenna will
be delivered in 2016.
Jens Maaløe, President & CEO, Terma, said: “We are
proud that the Royal Navy and BAE Systems has selected Terma as their
supplier of radar solutions for these Offshore Patrol Vessels. This
is an invaluable sign of trust and a stamp of quality for our products.”
“This radar contract illustrates our close working relationship
with Terma and the strength of Danish industry,” added Alan Garwood,
BAE Systems’ Group Business Development Director.
BAE Systems is today doing business with 40 different Danish companies
across Land, Maritime, Air and Security domains. Last year, BAE also
signed a long-term F-35 composite skins manufacture agreement with Terma.
SCANTER radars come with an open ended interface for integration to
own and third party products and sensors, e.g. existing Command Management
System, Fire Control System, or a dedicated radar console.
The SCANTER 4100 series is among others in operation with the UK Royal
Navy, French Navy, Brazilian Navy, and the Royal Danish Navy, on various
ship types including LPD, Offshore Patrol Vessels, Large Support Ships,
and Patrol Corvettes and Frigates.
BAE Systems has been contracted by the Ministry of Defence to build
three Offshore Patrol Vessels for the Royal Navy. Production began in
October this year, with the first of class expected to be delivered
in 2017. The 90 meter, 2,000 tons vessels will play a key role in protecting
UK interests both at home and abroad. With a maximum speed of 24 knots,
a range of over 5,000 nautical miles and helicopter landing capability,
the ships will be globally deployable and capable of ocean patrol. |
