BAE Systems launches Artisan Radar at Euronaval
BAE Systems has launched its ARTISAN 3D (Advanced Radar Target Indication Situational Awareness and Navigation) radar for the export market at Euronaval.
ARTISAN is designed as a main surveillance and target indication radar for surface vessels. It provides high performance in difficult environmental and clutter conditions and is ideally suited for operation in the littoral. ARTISAN is scaleable to suit a range of platforms from offshore patrol vessels to major warships and is designed for the easy insertion of technology upgrades.
In August 2008, the ARTISAN 3D radar was selected by the UK Ministry of Defence to provide the next generation of medium range radars for the majority of the current Royal Navy surface fleet and for the Future Aircraft Carriers (CVF), in a contract valued at £100M.
ARTISAN 3D builds upon a family of mature technology from BAE Systems’ existing portfolio of radars, such as SAMPSON - the multi function radar for the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyer and the Commander air defence radar system for the Royal Air Force.
