Será que, afinal as fragatas classe BD ….. será??

Ahahaha!! Há aqui amigos que em idade adulta ainda querem acreditar no Pai Natal. Aquilo é para os finlandeses, para países sérios.
O mastro é completamente diferente. O que está instalado na BD é igual ás outras fragatas congéneres e completamente diferente do que vai ser instalado nas corvetas finlandesas da classe Pohjanmaa.
Uma solução acessível (uma hipótese que já tenho estudada há muito) para ficarmos com uma fragata dentro dos parâmetros aceitáveis e que implicaria um investimento mínimo, seria:
- Retirar o 2 radares SMART-S e LW08 (desactualizados) e substitui-los por um NS-200.
- Substituir os radares de navegação antigos por 2 KH SharpEye
- Instalar um IRST Vampir NG
- Substiuir o sonar rebocado Anaconda por um CAPTAS-4 compacto
O resto seria a actualização normal que as fragatas belgas e holandesas tiveram. Isto para estar minimamente actualizada daqui 10/12 anos.
Ora bons dias,
Folgo em saber que está satisfeito caro Major, é bom sinal, mas, pelos vistos, e pelo que escreveu, concluiu, contudo erradamente, que eu me estava a referir a uma imagem do flyer, não sr Major, o que eu me estava a referir era a estes parágrafos especialmente o último :
Proven Fixed Panel Radar to Ensure Robustness
Facing such a complex threat set, a rotating volume search radar solution cannot be relied upon to deliver the necessary battlespace awareness. Next-generation naval ships which operate in the complex threat scenarios must have a fixed panel AESA radar system to ensure robust surveillance & tracking performance.
Thales fully proven S-band four-face, fixed panel solution, the baseline of which has been in front line operational service with the Royal Netherlands Navy since 2012, has met or exceeded the requirements of the Royal Netherlands Navy.
Taking this proven technology one step further, Thales has introduced into it the very latest iteration of AESA technology, which is a generation ahead of competitor AESA solutions and which is also already at sea in the NS100-series of surveillance radars. This world-beating “AESA 2.0” provides truly unrestricted flexibility in beam forming and beam steering, thanks to its dual-axis multi-beam scanning and fully digital front end technology. The software-defined growth potential this provides will keep the radar suite operationally relevant throughout its lifetime.
For above-water sensor performance, the Thales fixed panel S-band radar suite will provide the critical enhancement that is needed in tomorrow’s maritime environment.
It significantly enhances performance in the Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW > periscope detection, pop-up missile detection) domains. It provides comprehensive defensive capabilities against air and surface threats, maximizing the potential of the ship’s available above-water sensor and effector capabilities.
To counter the future’s complex threat scenarios, the fixed panel S-band radar is adaptable and extendable, ensuring that it remains operationally relevant through life. This enables the Finnish Navy to field highly capable and highly survivable SQUADRON 2020 missile corvettes at an internationally competitive cost; providing credible sea power far into the 21st Century.
Thales SM400 and NS100/200 S-band family of AESA radars are already in service and under contract for 14 naval ships both NATO and non-NATO navies and is related to the For above-water sensor performance, the Thales fixed panel S-band radar suite will provide the critical enhancement that is needed in tomorrow’s maritime environment
earlier Thales SMART-S family of S-band surveillance radars, of which more than 85 have been sold to 20 navies, including NATO navies such as Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Turkey.
