FLYCATCHER MK2 (V)SHORAD C2 Centre with 3D Search Sensor Description

Features

To cope with current and future threats (fixed and rotary wing, bombs PGM, tactical missiles, UAV), Flycatcher MK2 is proposed as an autonomous hybrid SHOrt Range Air Defence System able to control a large variety of missile types and AA guns.

ENGAGEMENT CAPABILITY

Flycatcher MK2 co-ordinates several firing units featuring dedicated functions to prevent over and under kill situations.

High performing Track Evaluation and Weapon Assignment (TEWA) function. According to the threat, the system will optimise the riposte in assigning the right weapon to the right target Control of three medium calibre guns and one missile system Sophisticated Human Machine Interface for full situation awareness, short reaction time CO-ORDINATION Embedded co-ordination of existing VSHORAD (guns, manpads, …) and SHORAD Systems Integration into a global and local air defence scheme (C2/C3) Operate in network with other Flycatcher MK2 systems SURVEILLANCE 3D Multi-function radar Integrated IFF STRATEGIC AND TACTICAL MOBILITY – REDUCED MANPOWER A Fire Control System in two lightweight vehicles Transportability: C130, roads, railways and sea Two operators
