C-Raid – Ensures Operational Capability<br />

and Mission Effectiveness<br />

C-Raid is a technology-leading network-based tactical<br />

command and control product designed to ensure real-time<br />

situational awareness for small boat teams engaged in<br />

surveillance, patrolling, and interdiction operations. The<br />

operators are typically navy, coast guard, and Special<br />

Operation Force (SOF) teams in small fast boats conducting<br />

operations against pirates, smugglers, and terrorists.<br />

C-Raid increases the operational capability and mission effectiveness<br />

of small boats by introducing a low-cost link solution<br />

with flexible integration of radios and sensor, and an intuitive<br />

human-machine interface tailored for the maritime environment.<br />

The system allows multiple units to interoperate via data<br />

communication links, exchanging track data, mission<br />

overlays, and sensor feed so as to establish a common tactical<br />

picture. Compared to traditional voice communication, this<br />

net-enabled architecture significantly reduces the risk of<br />

mistakes and enhances decision making by allowing even the<br />

smallest units to access and contribute to the tactical picture.<br />

The C-Raid addresses the shortfall in voice transmissions and<br />

lack of situational awareness by providing the commander<br />

and units with automatic, real-time updates of maritime activity<br />

received from a variety of sensors, e.g. Automatic<br />

Information System (AIS), Automatic Radar Plotting Aids<br />

(ARPA), and full-motion electro-optical/infrared video, so as to<br />

afford greater clarity in the tactical picture and thus improve<br />

decision making, e.g. in case of an anti-smuggling operation.<br />

The command is able to direct pursuit vessels to an optimal<br />

position so as to intercept and apprehend the smuggler.<br />

Air-Flex: Providing Surface Units with Airborne<br />

Sensor and Communications Coverage<br />

sensor and communications coverage, and simultaneously<br />

coordinating mission execution with real-time information.<br />

Air-Flex is setting new standards for the mission capabilities<br />

of conventional aircraft in joint and multi-agency operations.<br />

By upgrading existing helicopters and transport aircraft with<br />

an affordable command and control solution, the full advantages<br />

of an airborne platform with data and sensor links can<br />

now be utilized to effectively coordinate operations with multiple<br />

surface units.<br />

Assuming the role of mission coordinator, the current operations<br />

team can deploy operators on board mission-capable<br />

aircraft taking full advantage of the flexibility in speed, range,<br />

and line of sight in order to provide surface units with the best<br />

Designed as a roll-on/roll-off capability, the Air-Flex mission<br />

kit offers simple integration with on-board aircraft systems or<br />

mission specific sensors and effectors. Air-Flex can be<br />

deployed into theater and operated from various aircraft<br />

prepared for the new assignment as special mission aircraft.<br />

The Air-Flex is derived from the maritime version C-Raid and<br />

the land version Tac-Flex featuring a similar intuitive humanmachine<br />

interface and system concept. This allows operators<br />

from different services to exchange data and intelligence in an<br />

expedited manner and further leveraging on the synergies in<br />

joint operations.<br />

Uniquely for Air-Flex, the system integration to the command<br />

and control module is not limited to providing sensor and data<br />

link, but also offers integration with Terma-provided electronic<br />

warfare (EW) systems. This enables aircraft to share EW<br />

threat information via the link network and thereby allowing<br />

crews and units to respond according to the new threat.<br />

C-Flex Successfully Passed HAT on First<br />

Danish Frigate Iver Huitfeldt<br />

Ahead of schedule, C-Flex successfully passed the Harbor<br />

Acceptance Test (HAT) on board the first new Danish frigate<br />

Iver Huitfeldt in May this year.<br />

The Iver Huitfeldt class will be a three-ship class of frigates<br />

entering service with the Royal Danish Navy (RDN) in 2012<br />

and 2013.<br />

Terma equips the RDN frigates with the comprehensive<br />

command & control system C-Flex, which integrates the<br />

shipboard weapon and sensor systems as well as provides<br />

surveillance of air, surface, and subsurface data, compiling<br />

them into a tactical picture that provides the most current data<br />

to enable the commanding officer to make effective, time-critical<br />

decisions, and perform actual target engagement.<br />

The frigate AAW (Anti Air Warfare) system consists of the<br />

SMART-L and the APAR radar systems and Mk41 and Mk56<br />

launcher systems. Integration of this advanced air defense<br />

system is tantamount to a substantial expansion of the C-Flex<br />

functionality and implies close collaboration with Thales (NL),<br />

Raytheon (USA), and Lockheed Martin (USA), again emphasizing<br />

Terma’s capabilities as Combat Management System<br />

integrator.<br />

SCANTER 6002: A Cost-Effective<br />

All-Weather Naval Radar Solution<br />

The SCANTER 6002 is Terma’s most modern X (I)-band<br />

2D solid state radar developed to address market requirements<br />

for improved surface and low airspace situational<br />

awareness.<br />

The SCANTER 6002 radar is specifically designed as an<br />

affordable all-weather sensor solution to plug the gap<br />

between standard marine navigation radars and more expensive<br />

military surveillance radar systems.<br />

Based on more than 60 years of maritime radar experience,<br />

the SCANTER 6002 system delivers exceptional performance<br />

through the application of advanced hardware design and<br />

processing. The result is a state-of-the-art sensor that<br />

overcomes the limitations of previous generation radars so as<br />

to reliably detect small targets in high sea and weather<br />

clutter backgrounds.<br />

Seeing the unseen<br />

The SCANTER 6002 enables users to see what was previously<br />

unseen (for example very small non-metallic targets in<br />

sea states 4-6), using its advanced dual processing chain to<br />

detect small targets from clutter in all weather conditions.<br />

Furthermore, it offers application across a range of surveillance<br />

missions.<br />

In the broadest terms, SCANTER 6002 delivers much<br />

improved situational awareness by automatically detecting<br />

and tracking surface and low-altitude air targets that would<br />

be masked by clutter to a conventional radar system. The<br />

combined effect is to reduce the workload for the operator<br />

and provide the ship command with a better appreciation of<br />

the maritime picture and more time to make tactical<br />

decisions.<br />

»<br />

Helicopter control<br />

For helicopter control, SCANTER 6002 uses coherent Moving<br />

Target Indicator (MTI) techniques in combination with small<br />

target detection techniques. This significantly increases the<br />

range at which rotary-wing aircraft (and Unmanned Aerial<br />

Vehicles) can be tracked during launch and recovery operations<br />

In addition, the capability of SCANTER 6002 to detect small<br />

targets (in combination with helicopter control) makes it very<br />

well suited for search and rescue operations. While Doppler<br />

shift is used to maintain a track on the helicopter, correlation<br />

algorithms and Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) are<br />

employed to improve detection performance of small targets<br />

in distress and cooperative surface vessels (given that these<br />

have returns similar to the amplitude of the background<br />

clutter).<br />

Unique situational awareness<br />

Because of its very low transmitted peak power, compared to<br />

conventional magnetron or TWT-based radar systems, the<br />

SCANTER 6002 radar is significantly less prone to be detected<br />

by hostile ESM systems. The optional embedded automatic<br />

tracker is aimed at detecting and tracking multiple kinds of<br />

targets on the sea surface and short range, low-level air<br />

targets, helicopters, etc. It assists the operator to create a<br />

situation awareness overview even when multiple surface and<br />

air targets are present.<br />

Technology<br />

SCANTER 6002 is based on a new low-voltage 200 W solidstate<br />

transmitter architecture and a novel dual-channel<br />

processing chain. The aim of the design has been to provide<br />

an answer to the growing requirement for a single sensor<br />

that can enhance surface/low altitude situational awareness<br />

to support multiple missions such as:<br />

• Surface surveillance (and support to maritime<br />

interdiction operations)<br />

• Small target detection in all weather conditions (counter<br />

smuggling - narcotics, weapons, illegal immigration, etc.)<br />

• Monitoring low airspace<br />

• Helicopter control (launch and landing)<br />

• Search and rescue operations<br />

• Self-protection of the vessel (providing timely detection<br />

of approaching threats)<br />

• Improved navigation safety<br />

• Fisheries control operations.<br />

The secret to the very high resolution of the radar at all<br />

ranges is the very fine range cell size (3 m out to 48 NM, 6 m<br />

out to 96 NM) and a high dynamic range receiver. This<br />

provides an exceptionally high level of fidelity allowing small<br />

targets to be detected even if they are attempting to<br />

’shadow’ themselves by maintaining a position close to a far<br />

larger radar contact.<br />

Another key discriminator for SCANTER 6000 radar series<br />

lies in its simplicity of operation. It only requires the operator<br />

to select a profile in range and domain (air or surface); thereafter<br />

the system is adaptive to the prevailing weather and<br />

clutter conditions, automatically adjusting radar parameters<br />

so as to optimize performance according to the instrumented<br />

range setting.<br />

SCANTER 6000 Radar<br />

for New Danish Frigates<br />

Terma has delivered the first of three SCANTER 6000 radar<br />

systems ordered for the Royal Danish Navy’s new Iver<br />

Huitfeldt class frigates.<br />

Built by Odense Steel Shipyard, the three 140 m ships –<br />

named Iver Huitfeldt (F361), Peter Willemoes (F362), and<br />

Niels Juel (F363) – will give the RDN an unprecedented<br />

‘high-end’ capability to contribute to a wide range of<br />

national and multinational defense and security missions.<br />

Terma has already supplied its advanced C-Flex command<br />

and control system for the frigate program. C-Flex integrates<br />

the frigates’ sensor, effector, and fire control systems,<br />

including the advanced AAW (Anti Air Warfare) air defense<br />

system. In addition, Terma has delivered its SKWS (Soft Kill<br />

Weapon System) decoy system to the program.<br />

The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization<br />

contracted Terma earlier this year to supply SCANTER 6000<br />

to the new frigates as a multi-role sensor system to meet<br />

requirements for tactical surface surveillance, search and<br />

rescue, and helicopter control. A first radar shipset has<br />

completed factory acceptance and has been delivered for<br />

installation on Iver Huitfeldt. Setting-to-work is planned<br />

towards the end of <strong>2011</strong>; follow-on deliveries to Peter<br />

Willemoes are scheduled for 2012.<br />

The latest member of the SCANTER family, SCANTER 6000 is<br />

a coherent X-band 2D solid state radar developed by Terma<br />

to address market requirements for improved surface and<br />

low airspace situational awareness. It has been specifically<br />

designed as an affordable all-weather sensor solution to<br />

plug the gap between standard marine navigation radars and<br />

more expensive military surveillance radar systems.<br />

SCANTER 6000 delivers exceptional resolution through the<br />

application of advanced hardware design and intelligent<br />

processing. The result is a state-of-the-art radar sensor that<br />

overcomes the limitations of previous generation radars so as<br />

to reliably detect very small targets in high sea and weather<br />

clutter backgrounds.<br />

In addition, SCANTER 6000 is the only radar in its class<br />

capable of providing simultaneous small target detection,<br />

helicopter guidance, and large and small target detection at<br />

close and maximum range. Furthermore, it maintains exceptional<br />

performance against non-cooperative targets in harsh<br />

weather<br />

The SCANTER 6000 surveillance radar has previously been<br />

installed on the U.S. Department of Defense’s Stiletto highspeed<br />

vessel testbed. It also forms part of a dual SCANTER<br />

radar suite supplied to DCNS for its new offshore patrol<br />

vessel L’Adroit.<br />

SCANTER 4002 Wind<br />

Farm Air Surveillance<br />

The concerns about air safety in proximity of wind farms<br />

are finally addressed by introducing the SCANTER 4002<br />

as cost-effective gap-filling air surveillance radar. The<br />

SCANTER 4002 provides inter-turbine visibility and<br />

enables tracking of small air targets inside and around<br />

wind farms.<br />

Wind farm at Horns Rev1 (photo: Dong Energy A/S)<br />

The challenge<br />

When wind turbines are grouped in large wind farms they<br />

can have a significant effect on radars and specifically on<br />

radars used for aviation as they are typically designed to<br />

show only moving objects and filter out anything stationary.<br />

The spinning blades of the wind turbines can appear on the<br />

radar screen as false "targets". The interference (or "clutter")<br />

generated by the turbines can desensitize the radar in the<br />

area of the wind farm causing legitimate targets to disappear.<br />

This in turn can affect the deployment of wind farms and<br />

several planned wind farms have already been delayed<br />

significantly or even cancelled.<br />

Small test aircraft (Grumman GA7) in and around<br />

Horns Rev1 offshore wind farm.<br />

SCANTER 4002<br />

The SCANTER 4002 transceiver is designed for detection and<br />

separation of small air targets and large surface targets like<br />

wind turbines. To achieve simultaneous good performance<br />

for air and surface detection, the SCANTER 4002 radar<br />

system is designed as a 2D coherent X-band radar with pulse<br />

compression and advanced MTI-processing, which provide<br />

enhanced detection of small air targets.<br />

Inter-turbine visibility<br />

The high transmit power and receiver dynamic range (+110<br />

dB) of the SCANTER 4002 combined with low range and<br />

antenna side lobes give superior detection of small air<br />

targets, like e.g. general aviation aircraft and helicopters,<br />

without degraded sensitivity in and around the wind farm.<br />

High resolution CFAR processing enables target detection<br />

and tracking between turbines.<br />

SCANTER 4002 transceiver<br />

Utilizing state-of-the-art processing technologies, the<br />

SCANTER 4002 enables efficient and cost-effective detection<br />

of even very small targets. The instrumented range of the<br />

SCANTER 4002 air coverage is up to 100 NM and the radar<br />

system can be configured with different antenna systems,<br />

e.g. 15 ft, 18 ft or 21 ft, depending on the requirements.<br />

Camp Protection<br />

Solution Provides for<br />

Timely Decision Making<br />

Terma introduces a camp protection solution called Camp-Flex.<br />

The system can be used for detection, identification, threat<br />

evaluation, and counter measuring of possible intruders<br />

– a solution that provides the operator with the advantage of<br />

making timely decisions when protecting own forces.<br />

To cover the whole area of responsibility, the solution package<br />

may consist of a number of ground surveillance radars and<br />

other sensors, which will be deployed in certain patterns. All<br />

their data are fed into the Camp-Flex system and compiled into<br />

a picture of the overall situation which is then presented to the<br />

operators. A number of alarm areas and alarm rules are also<br />

available to the operator, which makes it easier to sort the<br />

essential threats. Additionally, Camp-Flex provides the opportunity<br />

to report to or alarm adjacent systems.<br />

Camp-Flex can be executed from a single operator in one<br />

control room or by multiple operators in several control rooms<br />

depending on the workload. In case mobile capabilities are<br />

required, Terma also offers the Camp-Flex solution in an easily<br />

deployable version operating from car batteries or equivalent<br />

power sources.<br />

Due to Terma´s long experience in the defense market, the<br />

new solution offers many standard interfaces to sensors and<br />

cameras – an example is the different proximity sensor interfaces<br />

that are available.<br />

Camp-Flex is based on feedback and experience from several<br />

demonstrations and trials. It is the natural evolution of Terma’s<br />

existing command and control systems – all of them using the<br />

generic platform T-Core.<br />

SCANTER GSR for<br />

Security Applications<br />

The SCANTER Ground Surveillance Radar (GSR) brings a new<br />

dimension to perimeter surveillance for military bases, ports,<br />

airports, and other critical infrastructures.<br />

Operating in Ku-band, the system is a short-to-medium range<br />

surveillance sensor designed to perform 360° search and<br />

detection of humans and other small moving targets in<br />

clutter-filled environments.<br />

SCANTER GSR is designed to operate reliably in difficult<br />

environments – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It can operate<br />

in desert locations with high ambient temperatures, and it<br />

can handle rain, salt spray, sand, hail, direct sun, and other<br />

harsh usage conditions.<br />

It features a good detection range of 3.7 km for a walking<br />

man and 360° coverage. Large areas can be monitored<br />

continuously. In security applications, this kind of monitoring<br />

Movable compact GSR application with camera suitable<br />

for e.g. camp protection<br />

gives the advantage that a threat is not only detected as it<br />

enters the protected area, but also tracked before and during<br />

the intrusion. Due to the fact that a large area can be<br />

monitored, the number of radars needed, e.g. in a mediumsized<br />

airport, is limited to one to three. This reduces the need<br />

for infrastructure and maintenance – and by that the total<br />

cost – making SCANTER GSR an ideal sensor for area protection<br />

systems where it can act as the primary surface sensor.<br />

»<br />

8 TERMA UPDATE . NO. 2 . <strong>2011</strong>


The SCANTER GSR is based on proven Terma SCANTER<br />

technology and can be used in both fixed and semi-permanent<br />

installations.<br />

Further, it is transportable for mobile deployment. Weighing<br />

less than 40 kg makes deployment, mounting, and setting up<br />

of the radar easy. The unit can be carried and deployed by<br />

two persons. It takes less than 10 minutes to deploy it from<br />

packed transportation mode to fully operational use. The<br />

radar automatically generates a clutter map and optimizes<br />

the target-to-noise levels without any required user adjustment.<br />

SCANTER GSR comprises a high resolution pulse-Doppler<br />

radar sensor, a processing hardware unit, rotating mechanics,<br />

and an Internet Protocol (IP) connection. All necessary<br />

interfaces are via the IP links; the radar can co-exist on a<br />

switched or routed local area network with other units. The<br />

out-put data from the radar are easy to process for real-time<br />

situational awareness and to be used as essential data input<br />

for behavior analysis.<br />

The GSR is ideal for movable compact applications together<br />

with cameras, making ID of targets possible. This suits a<br />

camp protection scenario where the radar’s range and good<br />

weather penetration makes it possible to handle a small to<br />

medium-sized camp with just one system.<br />

ITT and Terma in Cooperation on<br />

Tactical Communication<br />

Terma and ITT join forces in providing a coherent and userfriendly<br />

tactical communication system.<br />

ITT, a world leader in the provision of tactical communication<br />

systems, requires innovative, integrated solutions capable of<br />

linking the many different military and non-military communication<br />

technologies into a coherent tactical network.<br />

With ITT providing technical knowledge and radios, Terma will<br />

add further interface components to the Tactical Access Unit to<br />

integrate ITT’s radio suite.<br />

Terma’s Tactical Access Unit will take the network functionality<br />

and ease of use a major step forward for ITT’s customer base<br />

among the global armed forces.<br />

Terma’s Tactical Access Unit delivers secure communication<br />

between and across technologies and acts as an intelligent<br />

router by utilizing all connected communication units simultaneously<br />

to exploit allocated and available frequencies as<br />

efficiently as possible. By this, the soldier will always get<br />

access to the adequate bandwidth and range, regardless of<br />

being mounted or dismounted.<br />

Terma and ITT have already demonstrated jointly developed<br />

solutions with positive feedback from our customers and this<br />

cooperation will take our solutions one step further.<br />

The Tactical Access Unit provides connectivity to various<br />

communication assets and can be deployed on a separate<br />

computer or hosted on the computer running the user applications.<br />

The Tactical Access Unit is designed to be a cost-effective<br />

way to connect and upgrade current systems in the field or<br />

to be part of new installations.<br />

The Tactical Access Unit offers various diagnostic tools for<br />

network monitoring providing the soldier in the field with the<br />

possibility of doing on-site network planning and maintenance.<br />

SCANTER 4100 for<br />

Royal Thai Navy LPD<br />

The SCANTER 4100 radar has successfully undergone<br />

Factory Acceptance Tests on equipment and system level,<br />

and the system is now being installed on the Royal Thai<br />

Navy’s new Landing Platform Dock (LPD).<br />

Royal Thai Navy was present during early spring <strong>2011</strong> to<br />

witness the Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) of the SCANTER<br />

4100 air and surface surveillance radar for their new LPD, built<br />

by ST Marine in Singapore based on the Endurance class<br />

design. The test activities included successful testing against<br />

small air targets.<br />

The installation of the SCANTER 4100 radar system has now<br />

been initiated at the ST Marine shipyard in Singapore. Sea<br />

Trials are expected to take place during the spring 2012.<br />

The SCANTER 4100 radar system will be the main radar on the<br />

LPD. It will provide air surveillance and support for landing<br />

helicopters like the Bell 212 and 214, Super Lynx, and<br />

SeaHawk used by the Royal Thai Navy. The LPD’s flight deck<br />

has capacity for two medium-sized helicopters.<br />

The close-in capability of the radar, enabling detection of<br />

helicopters as close as 150 m from the antenna, will be of<br />

great help to the helicopter controllers on board. The air coverage<br />

will also provide detection of fighter jets and other small<br />

airborne threats.<br />

Furthermore, the SCANTER 4100 will provide excellent surface<br />

surveillance, increasing the situational awareness of small<br />

surface targets, especially under very difficult environmental<br />

conditions.<br />

The LPD will implement coast guard tasks, but is also intended<br />

to participate in emergency preparedness tasks.<br />

Dual SCANTER Radar<br />

Suite on Board L’Adroit<br />

A dual SCANTER radar suite supplied by Terma is now<br />

commencing trials on board the new offshore patrol vessel<br />

(OPV) L’Adroit.<br />

Built by French shipbuilding, systems, and services group<br />

DCNS as a private venture, the 87 m OPV is intended to<br />

demonstrate the capabilities offered by the company’s<br />

Gowind family of maritime protection vessels. Formally<br />

named in a ceremony in Lorient in June this year, L’Adroit<br />

will become operational with the French Navy later in <strong>2011</strong><br />

under a novel three-year loan arrangement.<br />

As a selected partner for the program, Terma made a<br />

commitment to deliver an affordable, but highly capable<br />

radar package to DCNS within a very short timeframe.<br />

Meeting this challenge, Terma earlier this year installed and<br />

set-to-work its SCANTER 4102 and SCANTER 6002 surveillance<br />

radars on board L’Adroit to provide the ship with a<br />

comprehensive situational awareness capability.<br />

structure, provide complementary capabilities to ensure<br />

gapless surface and air coverage: the TWT-based SCANTER<br />

4102 provides excellent medium-range surveillance in both<br />

the air and surface channels, with the capability to track<br />

large aircraft at ranges out to 80-90 NM; while the solidstate<br />

SCANTER 6002 performs near, low-air, and surface<br />

surveillance to support navigation, helicopter control, search<br />

and rescue, and surface vessel interdiction.<br />

L’Adroit began the first sea trials in July <strong>2011</strong>. Acceptance<br />

tests of Terma’s SCANTER radar suite began in <strong>September</strong><br />

<strong>2011</strong>. Terma’s preferred position on board L’Adroit reflects<br />

the continuing strong relationship between Terma and<br />

DCNS, which goes back to the supply of the SCANTER 2001<br />

radar for the Project Delta export frigate program. SCANTER<br />

2001 has also been specified for the new Aquitaine class<br />
