SCANTER 4001 to equip new Trinidad and Tobago patrol vessels

The SCANTER 2001 Naval Surface Surveillance Radar System has been installed aboard ABSALON during 2007

VT Shipbuilding International and

Ultra Electronics have selected

Terma’s new SCANTER 4001 air/

surface surveillance radar as the

prime sensor for Trinidad and

Tobago’s three new 90-metre

offshore patrol vessels (OPVs).

The SCANTER 4100 has been developed

Terma’s SCANTER 2001 surface

surveillance radar system has

successfully passed its System

Acceptance Trials regarding surface

targets aboard the Royal Danish

Navy’s new flexible support ship

HDMS Absalon.

Absalon and its sister ship HDMS Esbern

Snare are the largest units in the Royal

Danish Navy. Each displacing 6.300

tons, they are multirole vessels designed

to capable of undertaking command,

logistic support and sealift functions for

elements of the Danish armed forces

deployed on crisis management and

intervention operations as part of a

multinational coalition.

This focus on international operation

requires the ships to deploy to distant

In particular, its capability to detect

and track small air and sea contacts

at extended ranges will provide the

user with much improved situational

awareness as it seeks to crack down

on drugs smuggling and other illicit

activities.

The SCANTER 4001 will be fully

operations. It is also designed to assist

disaster relief operations.

The first vessels is due to be handed

over by VT to the customer in 2009 and

the third vessel by end of 2010.

Displacing about 2,000 tones, the

ships will be equipped with a high

speed interceptor, and operate a

helicopter from a flight deck aft.

Terma’s SCANTER 4100 system will be

fitted aboard the OPVs to meet the

and potentially hostile littoral waters

where ‘asymmetric’ attacks from fast

inshore attack craft or waterborne

improvised explosive devices may pose a

very real threat. It was therefore

recognised that Absalon and Esbern

Snare required a surface surveillance

sensor that could provide early detection

of small surface targets in rough weather

conditions up to Sea State 6.

Following an international competition,

Terma was in 2006 selected to provide

the latest version of its SCANTER 2001

radar system to equip Absalon and

Esbern Snare. This will provide the ships

with a high resolution surface picture for

navigation, enhanced situational

awareness and cueing of close range

self-defence systems.

SCANTER 4100 – new state-of-the-art for cost effective maritime surveillance.

outstanding reliability. It provides

detection, automatic track initiation

and tracking off all kinds of air and sea

targets, even in heavy precipitation or

high sea states.

Equally important, SCANTER 4100 has

been engineered to offer naval, coast

guard and paramilitary customers the

performance and reliability they

require at a price significantly below

that associated with a conventional

military surveillance radar. Air

detection performance is comparable

with many mil-spec 2D and 3D radar

systems, while surface detection

performance is better than most

competing 2D and 3D radars.

Capitalising on knowledge accrued

through the evolution of the SCANTER

Already selected to meet the needs of

the Royal Navy, the Royal Danish Navy

and the Trinidad and Tobago Coast

Guard, Terma’s SCANTER 4100 radar

represents a new state-of-the-art for

cost effective maritime surveillance.

The SCANTER 4100 is the latest and

most capable member of Terma’s

SCANTER family of maritime

surveillance radars offering customers

superior air and surface situational

awareness in even the most difficult

weather and sea conditions.

Operating in the X-band, SCANTER

4100 is a coherent two-channel, 2D

radar, with pulse compression and MTI

processing, affording excellent

surveillance performance and

One unique aspect of Terma’s SCANTER radar family is the proprietary

FiveStepVideoPassing signal processing chain, which applies a series of five

complementary techniques onto the received signal. These comprise:

stagger (to eliminate second-time echoes and interference from other radars operating on the same frequency);

noise reduction (suppressing clutter and noise with a 3 out of 4 correlation);

adaptive sensitivity control (which suppresses clutter by automatically adapting the detection thresholds to clutter and rain selectively, both in azimuth and range);

sweep to sweep integration (so as to reduce the signal-to-noise and signal-to-clutter ratio);

frequency diversity (illuminating the target with two separate frequencies reduces target fluctuations, while utilisation of antenna squint results in time/space de-correlation of clutter to up to 10 dB)

2001 maritime surface surveillance

radar family over a 15-year period, the

SCANTER 4100 captures our expertise in

antenna design, receiver technology and

advanced signal processing. The result

is a radar system of proven pedigree that

enables the timely and efficient

detection of both very small and fast

moving objects, while maintaining

excellent performance in poor weather

or heavy background clutter.

Technical features

SCANTER 4100 is based on X-band

transmitting frequencies within two

bands: 8.850 to 9.000 GHz for air

coverage; and 9.225 to 9.450 GHz for

surface coverage. To achieve the best

performance for both air and surface

target detection, the system combines

a common TWT transmitter with two

independent receivers using optimised

signal processing and tracking

techniques for the respective air and

surface channels. Pulse compression,

advanced MTI processing, and

proprietary signal sorting techniques

allow for the detection and automatic

tracking of small and non-cooperative

targets in high sea states and

inclement weather.

Parabolic Reflector Antenna

The antenna is a parabolic reflector

design producing two separate beams

(fed by individual feed horns) for air and

surface coverage. Polarisation in both

channels can be selected and switched

individually between horizontal

polarisation and circular polarisation. The

antenna platform is mechanically

stabilised in order to ensure the antenna

maintains a horizontal position within the

parameters necessary for air tracking.


GLOBAL PRESENCE

Terma Global Presence

With Terma’s headquarters centered

in Europe, and with customers

spread all over the world, the need

for local representation in other parts

of the world has become more and

more urgent. Since 2003 Terma has

been represented in the U.S. (Virginia

and Georgia) and effective 1 January

this year, the Singapore regional

office has been up and running

Terma North America

Terma has delivered and installed

several radar systems in the U.S.

rimarily for use by the U.S. Coast

Guard. In order to reside close to our

U.S. customers and partners, both

government and industry, Terma has

established a U.S. subsidiary "Terma

North America Inc" which is

headquartered in "Crystal City",

Arlington, VA. The presence of a

permanent Terma Radar sales manager

in the U.S. has significantly improved

accessibility and facilitated

communication to both existing and

new customers in the U.S. We are

working closely with the U.S. Coast

Guard and other U.S. government law

enforcement entities in the battle

against terrorism and illegal drug/

human smuggling into the U.S. As the

number of oprational systems in the

U.S. increase, and in order to maintain

our high level of responsiveness and

quality, a stateside service and support

organization is currently under

development.

Terma Asia Pacific

Asia is experiencing never-before

economic growth and therefore Terma

decided to open a regional office in

Singapore. Singapore was chosen as

location for her political stability,

efficient and transparent working

systems, well-educated workforce, and

the use of the English language. The

primary tasks of the Terma regional

office is to provide effecient sales

support to system integrators in Asia,

and advice end-users and governmental

authorities about Terma capabilities.

From the very first day our bilingual

Mandarin and English speaking service

manager has been in place to establish

and coordinate our technical support,

service, and maintenance center of

the SCANTER radar systems throughout

the region.

Recently, Terma Asia Pacific secured the

order concerning the replacement

program of radar sensors for the

Maritime & Port Authority in Singapore.

Our local presence and service support

in the region along with the superior

performance of the SCANTER 2001

radar system were key factors when

selecting the SCANTER radar systems

for the upgrade program.

BATTLEFIELD NETWORK

Terma Battlefield Network, a generic, modular, and flexible solution

The ideal network platform supports seamless connection between any types of communication equipment, connecting all available resources in one network.

The change from mainly conventional,

national defense to stabilization and

peace keeping operations, facing an

asymmetric threat, calls for new

communication requirements of

defense forces in operation, as they

are typically operating in very

fragmented scenarios.

Based on this challenge, the Danish

Army requested a complete analysis,

design, and implementation of a new

battlefield network structure, which

should be able to arch the complete

army organization and make everyone

online, from Headquarter and Logistics

down to Units, including the individual

soldier.

Based on our extensive experience

with real-time, radio based battlefield

networks, Terma has been requested

to implement a specific system

solution in cooperation with the

Danish company Systematic Software

Engineering. Terma designs and

implements the core communication

functionality including interfaces to

most types of radios and sitcom, while

Systematic is responsible for the user

interface platform.

For the export market, Terma offers a

generic, modular, and flexible battlefield

network solution, the Terma Battlefield

Network, based on 15 years of

experience in the design of radio based,

tactical real-time networks combined

with NATO NC3A cooperation and

testing at NATO trials.

The Terma Battlefield Network offers

the scalability and flexibility to meet the

requirements of operations of today and

tomorrow. It provides the basis for a

transition from a platform based system

to network centric system-of-systems

as our network also offers

interconnection of legacy standalone

systems, allowing such systems to

become ‘online’ and potentially be able

to play a relevant role again.

It can be a challenging experience to

move from a civilian internet PC onto a

PC running on a network of tactical

radios, unless the systems used are

designed to work under low-bandwidth

conditions. Based on experience gained

we provide a requirements overview, an

understanding of the network

performance expected in the battlefield,

and a solution based on the

communication technology

available today.


COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

The GBAD/CRAM system is designed to provide C4IS for camp and force protection by use of an open and flexible system architecture allowing for integration of multiple sensors, weapons and communication systems.

the use of sensors and weapons from

multiple vendors and the possibility to

easily add or replace sensors or

weapons, simply by adding or replacing

interface components. Terma developed

a generic set of Command and Control

capabilities, created to meet multiple

requirements within the above

mentioned customer areas. Together,

these common C4I components form

Terma’s generic and modular C4IS

platform, known as T-Core.

When connected to the relevant types

of sensors and weapons, the Terma air

defense solution offered for export

includes the ability to counter any air

threat, be it artillery, mortars, rockets,

or aircraft of any kind.

Based on T-Core, the Terma GBAD/

CRAM system can easily be adapted to

individual customer needs in relation to

The Terma Ground Based Air

Defense/Counter Rocket Artillery and

Mortar system (GBAD/CRAM) is

designed to meet the air threats of

today and tomorrow, using an open

and flexible system architecture that

allows for integration of multiple

sensor and weapon systems.

For more than 30 years Terma has

delivered mission critical Command,

Control and Communication systems to

Army, Navy, Air Force, and civilian Air

Traffic Management customers.

With the development of the Danish

Short Range and Medium Range Air

Defense Systems, DALLADS, and the

Danish Enhanced HAWK System,

DEHAWK, Terma applied a generic and

modular solution approach for the very

first time. The Danish Army and Air Force

were seeking a flexible solution, allowing

Mission Critical C4IS for GBAD/CRAM

sensor and weapon interfaces, Human

Machine Interfaces (HMI), localizations

etc. With T-Core, proven C4I components

and system interfaces can be reused,

facilitating for low risk interfaces for

existing (re-use) or new systems.

Interfaces can be offered for Government

Furnished Equipment (GFE), third party

or Terma provided systems.

Over the last two years, Terma has

cooperated with Lockheed Martin at

the NATO Coalition Warrior

Interoperability Trials in order to

expand T-Core capabilities. The latest

initiative and a natural expansion is to

build up a BMD capability, given the

fact that T-Core already includes Short

and Medium Range Air Defense.


COMBAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

C-Flex Combat Management SystemsC-Flex is a highly efficient Combat

Management System for naval

applications running entirely on

commercial computers.

Since 2001, when the Royal Danish

Navy (RDN) first requested an effort to

upgrade the Navy’s Combat

Management Systems (CMS), Terma

has invested significantly in the

development of a CMS, based on an

Open Architecture and fully utilizing the

wide range of commercially available

computers and operating systems.

Thus the systems can be maintained

and kept up to date with the ever

changing technological evolution at

affordable prices. Available are also a

whole range of commercial software

packages, tools, and functions, which

only a short while ago were reserved for

private desktop machines or had to be

especially created for military systems.

C-Flex is running on a software platform

called T-Core, which Terma developed

as the platform for all command and

control systems be it for naval, army, or

air force purposes and use.

T-Core holds all basic C4I functions

required in any system and is designed

to adhere to the standards set forth in

the “US Navy Open Architecture

Computing Capability and Environment”.

The software platform can be utilized

in large as well as small configurations

without software changes or costly

adaptations, and the T-Core is not

limited to naval applications as

mentioned above. Army and air force

command systems are also based on

T-Core with equally great effect,

already demonstrated by Terma in the

Danish Army Low Level Air Defence

program and the Austrian Army air

defence system.

T-Core is designed to be part of any Combat Management System – despite choice of hardware, operating system, weapon and sensor interfaces, and human/machine interface.

C-FLEX

SKWS

C-Flex contracted for the Romanian Navy MARASESTIThe Romanian Navy (RoN) has signed

a contract with Terma for the supply

of a C-Flex Combat Management

system for their MARASESTI frigate.

The system, which interfaces the ship’s

existing radar systems and supports

management of the weapon systems,

is to be delivered as a turnkey system.

The contracted C-Flex system is

equipped with advanced Multi-

Function Consoles and fully redundant

networks and servers. In its design, it

is similar to the C-Flex Command and

Control systems, which Terma has

delivered for the new Danish flexible

support ships, the ABSALON and the

ESBERN SNARE, and in which a wide

range of weapon and sensor systems

will be controlled from more than twenty

C-Flex Multi-Function Consoles in

operations and staff rooms of the ships.

Production of the MARASESTI C-Flex

interfaces will be supported by the

Bucharest-based company SYSCOM,

and the logistic services will be

supported by the Constanta-based

company NAVTRON.

Terma Decoy Launch Systems in high demand

Lately, the Danish flexible support

ships of the ABSALON-class have

completed their installation with a

48-tube system (based on the MK137

launchers), which will be fully

integrated and controlled by the C-Flex

Combat Management system (CMS).

Similar systems are being delivered for

the new patrol ships.

The US LCS program First of Class,

USS FREEDOM, (picture of launching),

has the 24-tube SKWS with two

DL-12T Launchers installed.

New orders have arrived for the

SKWS since then, but Terma is not

yet at liberty to publish any details

on these orders.

The Terma Decoy Launch System, the

SKWS (Soft Kill Weapon System),

continues to be in high demand in

the naval market place. Requests for

proposals are continuously received

in the SKWS office.

In September 2006 USS Freedom, the first littoral combat ship, was christened at the Marinette Marine Shipyard

The RoN MARASESTI


C-FLEX OPERATIONAL

The HDMS ABSALON and ESPERN SNARE C-Flex systems now set to work onboard

The C-Flex systems for the ships,

contracted in 2003, have now been set

to work, and the ships now boast the

largest CIC ever in a Danish naval

vessel. The C-Flex caters for 23

workstations servicing operators,

weapon specialists, and command

team in an environment, which has

been designed to offer the best

possible overview and cooperation

facilities (picture above).

As support ships and command

platforms, the ships are equipped

with a dedicated staff operation room

featuring an additional two C-Flex

workstations, which will allow the

group staff to be online with events

in the CIC.

In the spring and summer of 2007,

the two new, flexible support ships

of the Royal Danish Navy (RDN), the

ABSALON and the ESPERN SNARE

had been alongside the equipment

piers at the Danish naval bases to

receive and have installed advanced

military electronics and weapons.

international operations. As for the

ABSALON-class ships, the frigates will

have container positions to house the

containerized weapon systems, which

are commonly used – and

interchangeable – throughout the RDN

fleet of ships. In addition, the ships

will be equipped for participation in

large scale theatre missile defense

with long range sensors and weapon

systems, which have not all been

finally decided yet. Thus, the artist's

impression of the new frigates below

does not necessarily portray the final

image of the ships.

The Royal Danish Navy has rendered a

lot of support to Terma in the design of

system configurations, software,

In continuation of the C-Flex contract

for the ABSALON-class, Terma was

granted two additional contracts to

supply two small C-Flex combat

management systems for the Royal

Danish Navy (RDN) Ocean Patrol

Vessels (OPV), which are under

construction at the Skagen Shipyard

and three C-Flex systems for the

three new frigates currently being

built at the Odense Steel Shipyard.

The OPV systems include only two

workstations, but will be running

exactly the same software as other

C-Flex systems and thus be similarly

capable. Obviously the OPV systems

have fewer weapon and sensor

interfaces, but may at any time be

expanded with any necessary add-ons

in workstations and interfaces. The

arctic OPVs are not yet delivered to the

RDN, thus the illustration above is

an artist's impression.

The three new frigates, which will be

delivered to the RDN between 2009

and 2012, will have C-Flex systems of

a similar size and complexity as those

for the ABSALON-class. The ships are

designed for participation in

users will receive really useful tools for

the operational work on board. In

addition, the range of advanced

interfaces of modern defense

Terma’s insight and experience

throughout the above programs.

The T-Core software platform and the

C-Flex naval combat management

system are continuously being

maintained and upgraded, and all in

all, Terma is well prepared for the

future. Thus, C-Flex is now being

marketed in ever growing circles in the

world of defense command and control.
