Saab announces Ceros 200 sensor order
Saab will add optronic sensors to the Ceros 200 fire control directors used on the Canadian navy’s Halifax-class frigates, the company announced on 9 May.
Saab received an order for the sensors from prime contractor for Canada’s Halifax-class frigate modernisation programme, Lockheed Martin Canada. The additional sensors will provide a complement to radar in the Ceros 200 fire control director.
The Ceros 200 equips all of Canada’s Halifax-class frigates along with a land-based test site. The radar and optronic fire control director interfaces with missile or gun systems to provide defence against threats, including advanced sea skimming missiles or asymmetric surface threats in littoral environments.
Thomas Kloos, head combat systems and C4I solutions, Saab, said: ‘This order is the result of Saab’s good cooperation with Lockheed Martin and the Canadian navy. The agreement will improve the system beyond its original specifications.’
Saab’s work on the contract will run through 2016 and 2017.
