Thales Nederland in Hengelo: SMART-L MM, NS100 radars and factory tour

Описание: Navy Recognition had the chance to tour the Thales site of Hengelo in the Netherlands. The site specializes in radar systems. During our visit we were able to discover the latest Thales radar systems for the naval field: The SMART-L MM and the NS family.

SMART -L Multi Mission (MM/N), is a next generation Long
Range Multi Mission Radar for Air and Space Surveillance and
Ballistic Missile Detection. The fully digitally controlled Active
Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) type of radar, applying
GaN transmitter and Dual Axis Multibeam receiver technology, is
capable of detecting a very wide variety of air and space objects
including stealth, short up to long range ballistic missiles and
space objects. The applied high-end techniques result in a radar
with an unrivalled long range performance of up to 2000 km

The NS100 radar is a member of the S-band AESA radar family.
Thales is the first company to introduce a family of S-band AESA
radars based upon the Dual axis multi-beam processing. This
results in significantly increased situational awareness to deal
with newest threats in the littoral environment. The combination
of Dual axis multi-beam and AESA technology in the NS100
creates Multi-capability radar suitable for use across a wide
range of naval ships, today and in the future.
