HMAS Perth RAN ANZAC Class Frigate Anti Ship Missile Defence (ASMD) Upgrade program |
Australian owned defence technology provider CEA Technologies Pty Limited has continued its committed approach to providing a diverse range of high end products to international markets with its latest maritime contract.
CEA will, under a sub contract to Saab Australia, provide the medium power variant of its Solid State Continuous Wave Illuminator (SCCWI) transmitter into what is hoped is the first of two phases of a South East Asian Navy Frigate upgrade program.
CEA’s SSCWI transmitter offers a form and function alternative for the provision of illumination RF energy in support of the Evolved Sea Sparrow (ESSM) missile and introduces flexibility to the composition of the ESSM launcher/director/illuminator transmitter configuration for new build or upgrade programs.
Currently in service with the Royal Australian Navy, the SSCWI transmitter has supported a number of successful missile firings and is scheduled to complete Sea Acceptance firings with a Gulf Region navy later in 2011.
CEA has also recently completed Acceptance Trials and ESSM firings within the Royal Australian Navy ANZAC Class Frigate Anti Ship Missile Defence (ASMD) Upgrade program, into which CEA has provided its 4th generation Active Phased Array radar and missile illuminator.
