Thales' Smart-S MK2 Radar Passes Major Milestone
Hengelo, Holland (SPX) Sep 16, 2005 Recently, the SMART-S Mk2 program management team of the Danish Navy confirmed that Thales' SMART-S Mk2 radar successfully completed a Critical Program Review at the Thales Nederland production site. The engineering and initial production phases of the first SMART-S Mk2 have been completed. "The program is on schedule and fully complies with the Royal Danish Navy's requirements," says Harrie Havinga, Thales' SMART-S Mk2 program manager. "This is a significant milestone as it demonstrates our ability to scale the 3D multibeam SMART technology into various highly advanced configurations. We succeeded in building a brand-new radar in just eighteen months." The SMART-S Mk2 radar will commence an eighteen month period of testing and integration and, in January 2007, it will be installed on the first Flexible Support Ship that is presently being built for the Danish Navy. SMART-S Mk2 is a S-band 3D multibeam radar designed to excel in complex littoral environments. The radar makes use of solid-state technology, open architecture and commercially available parts to deliver high availability, graceful degradation and low total cost of ownership. This new and highly sophisticated radar enhances Thales' extensive radar portfolio, meeting many navies' current and future requirements. The development of SMART-S Mk2 confirms Thales' worldwide leading position in radar technology.
