At Euronaval 2012 international naval event, the European missile house MBDA is exhibiting its simulation system for the CWSP (Compact Warfare System Package) naval warfare system.
Two years earlier, MBDA announced the commercial launch of CWSP solution which combines two MBDA’s SIMBAD-RC naval remotely controlled weapon stations, with MBDA Marte MK2/N anti-ship missile systems within a coordinated package of sensors. It is designed to equip fast patrol boats and combat support vessels.
In its typical architecture for installation in patrol boats, CWSP includes two SIMBAD-RC systems controlled by a single terminal, two twin launchers for Marte MK2/N missiles, two multi-function consoles where runs the command & control system, one navigation radar, two day/night naval surveillance systems and one surface surveillance radar system. Remotely controlled weapon stations armed with small caliber guns can be added to CWSP.
SIMBAD-RC system comprise a 2-axis gyro-stabilized turret from Rheinmetall Defence Electronics, the missiles support plate, two ready to launch MBDA Mistral 2 very short range surface-to-air missiles, Sagem MATIS MP optronic aiming sight, one power supply unit, a single man aloft box and the SMU-RC terminal with seat.
It can be controlled from the ship´s combat management system. One SMU-RC terminal can control simultaneously two turrets thanks to its man-machine interface. A contract for undiscloded quantities is expected for current year. SIMBAD-RC replaces MBDA´s SIMBAD, NARVAL, SADRAL and TETRAL systems.
The first was developed by Norway´s Vinghøg, which is now a company of Rheinmetall Nordic.
Rheinmetall Defence Electronics or RDE, also produce the turret and EOSS (Electro-Optical Sensor System) fire control system of MBDA MPCV (Multi-Purpose Combat Vehicle) remotely controlled weapon station armed with four ready to launch Mistral 2 missiles and a 12.7mm heavy machine gun for self-protection. Important quantities of MPCV systems will be supplied to the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) according a contract placed by the local company CAESAR International.
