and Embedded Coder products are among

the leading tools used by our customers

or Model-Based Design with production

code generation, and were a logical choice

or tool chain integration with Freescales

latest line o automotive and industrial

automation processor amilies. I expect

the Motor Control Development Toolbox

rom Freescale, will allow users to leverage

the modeling environment and embedded

code generation capability rom MathWorks

to move quickly rom simulation to Freescale

silicon in minutes rather than days.

Indias growing economic stature has

brought in newer responsibilities or the

Indian Navy around the Indian Ocean

and beyond. The role played by the Indian

Navy in the recent anti-piracy operations o

the coast o Somalia are a good example o

role that India is expected to play. Concerns

on tightening coastal security have added

urgency ater the 26/11 attacks.

Saabs portolio covers the air, surace,

underwater and coastal security domains

that provide Naval orces complete

command over the sea. Saab is interested

in catering to a range o requirements o the

Indian Navy and Coastguard. This includes

remotely operated and autonomous

underwater vehicles, state o the art 3D

multi unction radar, Sea Girae AMB, air

platorms or maritime reconnaissance and

patrol like the Saab 2000 and Saab 340, light

weight torpedoes that are specially suited

or littoral and shallow water operations,

RBS15, the anti ship missile that can be

launched rom land, air and sea and can be

suitably congured as a land attack cruise

missile, AIS transponders and command

centres or the National AIS network (a DG

Light Houses and Light Ships initiative) and

training systems like SPURT which can also

be converted to operational roles through

an on-board change o their payload

module.

The Saab group considers India more

than just a market and seeks to orge a

long term relationship towards becoming a

reliable source and trusted partner in Indias

deence.

Saab 2000 MPA, Marine Reconnaisance

The Saab 2000 MPA, is a high perormer

providing lot o operational exibilities or

various operation scenarios. The Saab 2000

MPA has a high cruising speed, ast climbing

to high altitudes enhanced coverage and

long endurance.

The Saab 2000 MPA comes equipped

with Saab RBS15 anti-ship missile system.

Its unique Command & Control (C2) system

acilitates a seamless planning o missile

launching zones, trajectories and target

seeking activities. The missile launching

sequence and priming are controlled by

customized Store Management Unit.

The Active Electronically Scanned Array

(AESA) radar onboard Saab 2000 MPA

is a modern high perormance system

that supports the ull range o maritime

surveillance and coherent imaging

modes used or both naval and overland

operations.

AUV62-MR, SPURT Solutions or the

Indian Navy

Saab has oered its Autonomous

Underwater Vehicle, AUV 62, in response

to the Indian Navys requirement or Sel

Propelled Underwater Targets (SPURT).

This AUV is designed or autonomous long

term missions. The current conguration

or the AUV is or training sonar operators in

detecting, tracking and classiying a variable

speed manoeuvring under water target on

the ships sonar system, as also or acting

as a credible target against which dynamic

torpedo rings with practice torpedoes can

be carried out.

The modularity approach adopted by

Saab, makes it possible or AUV 62 to be

recongured or mine hunting, search and

reconnaissance, mapping and sea bed

proling, and environmental monitoring.

The perormance o this platorm has been

successully demonstrated to the Navys

Field Evaluation Trials Team earlier this year.

SEA GIRAFFE, Radar trusted globally,

customized or India

Saab is oering its Sea Girae range

o radars that are amenable to multiple

applications in surveillance and security

roles. The 2D Sea Girae LT (SG LT), optimised

or surace surveillance role is easily

upgradable to a ull multi unction 3D Sea

Girae AMB (SG AMB) by merely upgrading

the antenna and some additional sotware.

This provides a reedom o deployment.

SG AMB is arguably one o the worlds

best 3 D multi unction radar and in use by

the Swedish Navy and many other navies.

Its light weight electronically stabilized

antenna makes it the radar o choice or

all war vessels, including those with very

low tonnage. The eatures o SG AMB thatmake it also attractive or surveillance and

control o coastal areas are its high data

update rates (60 RPM), simultaneous auto

tracking capability or over 400 surace,

200 air, and 50 jamming targets, splash

spotting, detection o moving and hovering

helos, UAVs and drones, and eectively

distinguishing small and large vessels in

close proximity o each other.

An artillery hunting eature has been

so rened that even mortar /RPG rounds

can be detected in ight, impact point

calculated, warning generated/ transmitted

with details, as also the launch point

determined to enable neutralization o

urther threat rom that launch point/ area.

Its light weight electronically stabilized

antenna makes it the radar o choice or all

war vessels, including those with very low

tonnage; and this also makes it amenable to

be containerized or rapid deployment.

This radar has been chosen or one o

two variants o the USNs Littoral Combat

Ship program, and its land equivalent is

included in the air deence solutions o UK

and Australian MoDs

The Saab Promise

Saab is well supported by Swedish

government in eorts to orm new

international partnerships and export o

technology. Saab and Sweden have an

established track record o Technology

Transer, including critical areas. With new

Oset policies stipulated by the Ministry o

Deence, Government o India, well in place,

the Saab group is all geared up to explore

the opportunities or Long Term Industrial

Cooperation with both the public and

private sector players in India.

With all o the crazy 2011

security breaches, exploits

and notorious hacks, what

can we expect or 2012? We asked the top

researchers o the Websense Security Labs

to take a ew minutes and provide their

top predictions or the coming year. Last

years Websense Security Labs predictions

were very accurate, so these predictions

should provide very useul guidance

or security proessionals. Here are the

highlights;

Your social media identity may prove

more valuable to cyber criminals than

your credit cards. Bad guys will actively

buy and sell social media credentials in

online orums.

Trust is the basis o social networking,

so i a bad guy compromises your social

media log-ins, there is a good chance they

can manipulate your riends. Which leads

us to prediction #2.

The primary blended attack method

used in the most advanced attacks will

be to go through your social media

riends, mobile devices and through

the cloud.

Weve already seen one APT attack

that used the chat unctionality o a

compromised social network account to

get to the right user. Expect this to be the

primary vector, along with mobile and

cloud exploits, in the most persistent and

advanced attacks o 2012.

1,000+ dierent mobile device

attacks coming to a smartphone or

tablet near you.

People have been predicting this or

years, but in 2011 it actually started to

happen. And watch out: the number

o people who all victim to believable

social engineering scams will go through

the roo i the bad guys nd a way to

use mobile location-based services to

design hyper-specic geo-location social

engineering attempts.
