Sagem Défense Sécurité unveils a new family of optronic systems for surface ships
Paris - Le Bourget – Euronaval – October 25, 2006 -- On the occasion of Euronaval 2006, Sagem Défense Sécurité (SAFRAN Group) will be displaying its new family of optronic systems for surface ships. Designed to deal with both symetric and asymmetric threats in blue waters and in coastal areas, this new offer is characterized by latest-generation optronic sensors and a IRST-type (Infrared Search And Track) panoramic-surveillance capacity. In addition, these new systems can be used with an optronic fire-control function.
This new offer includes the following:
* EOMS NG. Electro-Optical Multifunction System (EOMS NG), designed for surface vessels, integrates a fire control system and panoramic Infrared Search and Track function in a single unit.
* VAMPIR NG. A high-performance Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system, VAMPIR NG provides two exploitation modes: littoral warfare against asymmetric threats, and in blue water against sea-skimming missiles. Incorporating the latest developments in image processing, it capitalizes on the full capabilities of third-generation infrared sensors.
* EOD NG. The only optronic fire control system in the World providing also panoramic surveillance mode, EOD NG is a standalone solution for the fire control of naval guns of all calibers. As a weapon control system, EOD NG provides communications links with the navigation radar, and manages and distributes navigation data.
* NAJIR MM. Multi-mission Electro-Optical Fire Control System, NAJIR MM is designed to be operated in a stand-alone mode or within the Combat Management System. The display of NAJIR MM on Sagem Défense Sécurité’s stand follows the project of acquisition of Naval and Ground Activities of EADS Defense & Security Systems in France, announced on September 15, 2006. These operations will join Sagem Défense Sécurité’s Optronics and Air-Land Systems Division.
Moreover, Sagem Défense Sécurité displays the last evolution of VIGY 10: VIGY 10 Mk III. A day/night surveillance system for surface vessels, VIGY 10 Mk III meets the requirements of light ships. Installed on a gyro-stabilized platform, it incorporates a third-generation infrared sensor, color TV camera with zoom and an eyesafe laser rangefinder.
