THALES PROVIDES MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OF THE S1850M RADAR FOR FRANCE, ITALY AND UK NAVIES
The S1850M Long Range Air Surveillance Radar is a derivative of the SMART L radar. With 26 systems sold to leading European navies, SMART-L and S1850M have become a de facto NATO standard for naval long-range radar systems.
Thales has signed a service contract with OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation) on behalf of the French, Italian and UK Navies. This new substantial service contract covers a period of 3 years, with an additional optional 2 years.
The new service contract includes high-quality support services such as desk support, on-site technical assistance, and implementation of the Thales Customer Portal. It also includes a yearly obsolescence scan and health check in addition to more complex tasks such as monitoring and configuration management.
The S1850M radar, based on the Thales' SMART-L Volume Search Radar, is the long-range radar (LRR) of the Principal Anti Air Missile System (PAAMS) used on the Royal Navy’s Type 45 Destroyers, Queen Elisabeth class Aircraft Carriers and the French and Italian class Horizon Frigates.
The S1850M system is a 3D multibeam radar designed to provide long-range air & surface surveillance and target designation. With fully automatic detection and track initiation, this radar part of the Ballistic Missile Defence System can track up to 1,000 air targets at a range of around 400 kilometres, including stealth targets in cluttered environments.
As a trusted partner for the armed forces, Thales demonstrates the reliability and endurance of its naval sensors such as the S1850M and its commitment to support navies.
