Saab design Combat Management System for Australia’s LHD
In June this year the Australian government announced an order for two new amphibious ships for the Australian Defence Force from Tenix-Navantia. As part of this decision the government nominated the Saab 9LV combat management system as the preferred system.
Saab is responsible for the design, development and integration of the new ships’ Combat System. Saab will supply the 9LV Combat Management System and Sea Giraffe AMB radar. Special features of the system will include helicopter control, watercraft control and close in self defence against military and asymmetric threats.
The Combat Management System to be installed on the LHD is based on the anti-ship missile defence system upgrade being installed across the Australian Navy’s Anzac class ships.
