9LV CMS > opERatIoNaL CapabILItIES
OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES
the 9LV CMS puts you in total
control of the local seas. It is built
around a simple concept: use
onboard and off-board sensors and
effectors in the most efficient and
effective way. the system leads the
way in data fusion, real-time effects
and integration.
Over the course of its development, the
9LV CMS has taken into account evolving
naval doctrines and the complex littoral
environments which are increasingly
becoming places of conflict. The level of
power projection and defence capability
previously restricted to large ships is now
needed for all vessels, regardless of size.
This allows forces to retain control in
archipelagos or choke-points with
extensive land cover.
4
In practice, this creates a need for extremely
short response times, a driving principle in
the development of the 9LV CMS. Being
first to act allows you to retain the
tactical initiative.
While taking care of the three dimensions
of naval warfare – air, surface and subsurface
– the 9LV CMS also supports the
fourth dimension, the internal decision
cycle. Its advanced decision-making tools
provide maximum uptime, even in the
toughest situations.
In essence, the system provides a
combination of power and flexibility
which allows a 9LV CMS-equipped unit to
participate in national and international
operations, either alone or as part of
a task force.
proTeCT and enCounTer
the 9LV CMS provides world-leading
C4I and precision engagement
capabilities, enabling you to control
large areas and several dimensions at
the same time.

ACHIEVING YOUR MISSION
today’s forces face an
unprecedented range of missions
and tactical situations. operational
flexibility is the key to effective
response.
At the heart of the combat system, the 9LV
CMS is built with operational flexibility
in mind, to support command across
the entire range of possible missions and
scenarios. It optimises the use of organic
resources and addresses command, control
and communications in a holistic approach.
It offers effective task group command and
efficient multi-tasking.
These elements of its design produce
a solution that is greater than the sum
of its parts.

CREATING THE PICTURE
Controlling larger areas requires
more than just complex sensor
systems. It also requires situational
awareness in all naval dimensions.
any funCTion may be used
by any operaTor, aT any
ConsoLe, aT any Time
To achieve multi-dimensional awareness,
the 9LV CMS provides a common situation
picture. Operators are presented with a
single, clear picture of the entire naval
domain.
This incorporates data from internal
and external sensors, using data fusion
to present combined land-sea pictures.
Information is shared via multiple
data links.
By establishing and maintaining a
coherent maritime picture, the 9LV CMS
provides a basis for the operator to make
informed situation assessments and tactical
judgements, based on readiness
and priority.
aLLoCaTion of roLes
Key to mission success is effective
distribution of work in the Combat
Information Centre (CIC). this
allows the commander to obtain the
maximum capability and efficiency
from the CIC team. the 9LV CMS
provides functional-based allocation
of roles and is configurable during
runtime. this provides the basis for
flexible and sustainable workload
management.

9LV CMS > opERatIoNaL CapabILItIES > DEFENDINg YoUR UNIt
DEFENDING YOUR UNIT
the 9LV CMS provides a range of
weapon and sensor control options,
from manual to fully automatic. this
allows the operator to optimise
reaction times and weapon and
sensor usage.
the system supports command
by going beyond the capability of
traditional tEWa. It considers all
available weapons and ammunition
to calculate and recalculate optimal
kill probability, assigning the right
weapon to the right target,
every time.
8
the 9LV CMS reduces the operator’s workload in critical conditions by automating
the following tasks:
• threat evaluation: finding and prioritising threats, largely based on performance
as well as Eta, using all known characteristics from the CMS intelligence library
• Engagement planning: evaluating weapon deployment alternatives and selecting
the optimised solution. this is performed cyclically, adapting quickly to rapidly
changing, unpredictable situations
• Execute control: sending engagement requests to the directors and weapons,
and sending ship-heading recommendations for lowest RCS, supporting
integration of softkill measures into the ship defence plan
feaTures:
• Coordinates all sensors and weapons (hardkill and softkill)
• probability-based evaluation
• Cyclic re-evaluation and feedback loop
• Quick response to scenario changes
• Manual/semi-auto/full automatic options

SUPPORTING THE OPERATOR
there is a visible trend of
depopulation in the battlespace.
battle assets are manned by fewer
and fewer operators. this creates a
greater need for multi-tasking and,
in turn, a greater reliance
on technology.
the 9LV CMS is designed with this trend in mind. Its features allow small crews to
handle multiple tasks by reducing manual workload and automating simple functions.
Key features that support the operator include:
• Automation: automatic control of weapons and sensors at various levels,
supporting the operator in critical conditions
• Anomaly detection: bringing unusual activity to the operator’s attention,
supporting normal operations and reducing human error in detection
• Ergonomic HMI: based on thorough studies, testing and user experience,
allowing operation to be as intuitive as possible

C2 AND DATA FUSION
the key to situational awareness is a
single, coherent tactical picture.
The 9LV CMS utilises all surveillance
resources and merges sensor data with
manual and platform data to provide a
complete, correlated situational picture.
The system achieves this through an
integrated data fusion process. It generates
the picture automatically from received
data inputs. The operator is able to interact
with the plot and can select different
correlation processing modes, as well as
inputting direct intervention and override
commands.

INTEGRATION
the 9LV CMS supports a range
of integration options, including
point-to-point, legacy messagebased
interfaces and newer
open architecture interfaces.
For integration of other C2
systems, for example a mission
package for embarked army staff,
9LV CMS supports widely used
Web Services standards.
Saab employs the principles of
Naval open architecture (Noa)
for the 9LV family. this increases
opportunities for innovation and
competition, as well as reducing
burdens of cost and risk through life.
NOA involves creating modular,
interoperable systems that adopt open
standards and have published interfaces.
The 9LV CMS can also function as a service
provider in a Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA) concept. It can support either
Windows or POSIX-compliant operating
systems, as well as heterogeneous solutions
with different operating systems in different
nodes. Other supported standards include
TCP/IP, XML, HLA, SNMP and NTP.
The Touch Input Display, with its softkeys,
can be used as a shared resource. It
can control third-party equipment using
either the Data Distribution Service (DDS)
function or web services technology. It can
also be accessed locally by hosted clients.
OPEN ARCHITECTURE
The benefits of this approach include:
reduction of system and
lifecycle cost:
• Reduces development cycle time
• Enables reuse of components
• Reduces maintenance constraints
encourages innovation:
• Facilitates rapid technology insertion
• allows continued access to cuttingedge
technologies from multiple
suppliers, creating best-of-breed
solutions
The 9LV CMS can easily be integrated with
any third-party subsystem. It provides a
wide range of options for user interface
integration, including hosted vendor
clients, web services, thin clients or fully
integrated HMIs.
Saab can also supply specialised, highperformance
subsystems or modules
for integration with another vendor’s
C2 system.
mitigates risks, avoiding:
• technology obsolescence
• Unwanted ties with proprietary or
vendor-unique technology
• Reliance on a single source of supply

the 9LV CMS provides fully
integrated data links, allowing
exchange of the compiled
situational picture. It also facilitates
the transmission and reception
of orders, free text and status
information.
The communication process is largely
automatic. This frees up the operator to
focus their attention on other duties.
The 9LV CMS also provides support for C4I
functionality via a web service interface.
This allows the C4I system to subscribe to
the compiled situational picture.

ONBOARD TRAINING
AND SIMULATION
the 9LV CMS features a
simulation function which supports
Command team training (CCt).
It provides flexible game functions
which support a wide variety of
training exercises to be prepared
and executed in a simulated
environment. Sensors and weapons
are simulated to provide realistic
training for the whole chain, from
detection to engagement.
9LV operators can create and save
sequences involving simulated aircraft,
missiles, submarines and surface ships
moving along predefined trajectories. These
are observed by simulated own-ship sensors
and are engaged by the simulated weapon
systems. Engagement results are evaluated
to determine if a target would have
been defeated.
The simulation provides an experience
which is almost identical to live operations
with the exception that some functions are
inhibited or reduced for maximum safety.

Military specification 19-inch
cabinets house the majority of the
9LV CMS equipment. they also
contain the computer units for
directors and guns, including the
power supply for the EoS 500.
The cabinets are designed to withstand the
harshest naval environments. Constructed
from aluminium, they include anti-vibration
shock mounts, EMI/EMC shielding,
and cooling and anti-condensation
arrangements. This ensures maximum
reliability under any conditions.
Under most circumstances, even large
9LV CMS configurations with high levels
of redundancy require only two cabinets.
All sensors and weapons will be connected
directly to these cabinets, with no need for
external junction boxes.
The technology platform inside the 9LV
CMS is the compact PCI family of singleboard
computers. The cabinets and boards
are designed for high availability with builtin

TARGET DESIGNATORS
24
No matter how robust your combat
systems are, it’s vital to have
comprehensive redundancy to
ensure the security of your forces.
For this reason, Saab’s 9LV CMS
includes target designators, used
by lookouts for direct optical
designation of targets.
By using two designators, one for starboard
and one for port, the installation is not
restricted to those few areas onboard where
360 degrees of free sight is possible.
The target designators are capable day
and night and are equipped with an Aim
Point device for Red Dot aiming. An
optional image intensifier enhances night
capability. They feature two push buttons,
the first of which is used for designation
in bearing and elevation to the CMS. The
second button allows the lookout to take
immediate control of the director, starting
an acquisition process.
