Thales’ NS100 radar undergoes testing
Thales' first new NS100 naval radar system has successfully completed Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), the company announced on 1 September.
The FAT, which consists of tests to check that the system meets launch customer requirements, took place at Thales' facility in Hengelo, the Netherlands, with customer representatives on site.
The NS100 has been previously successfully tested with targets of opportunity and controlled air targets.
Thales will install the first system on board the customer’s ship in October 2015. Sea trials will be conducted after the installation. The company has already started series production of the first ten NS100 systems.
The NS100, which is a part of the company’s S-band radar family, is designed to meet the requirements of various ship classes in a wide range of naval missions. It is a multi-sensor active electronically scanned array radar with dual-axis, multi-beam technology. It offers weapon support for active missiles and enhances situational awareness in the littoral environment.
