Ceros 200
The next configuration uses the Ceros 200 Radar and Electro-Optical Director to control a 57 mm or 76 mm naval gun. Ceros 200 is a radar and optronic tracking fire control director designed for use on naval ships.
Ceros 200 is a world-class performer in terms of automatic target detection and lock-on. It offers high acquisition speed and great precision, together with the ability to track any target in any weather situation, while enabling fast target switching. The proximity-fused ammunition of the guns, in combination with the unique precision of the Saab FCS, provides optimum self-defence capabilities, even against incoming sea-skimming missiles. For larger ships it is common to fit more than one director and gun to achieve coverage from all directions. The Ceros 200 incorporates CHASE, a patented method for processing complex radar target return signals from low flying targets – such as sea skimming missiles – to eliminate multipath effects. Ceros 200 is available in a Continuous Wave Illuminator (CWI) configuration providing an additional x-band channel for target illumination and control of semi-active missiles. Combined with Saab’s gun fire control, Ceros 200 provides unparalleled accuracy for gun engagements.
