Search radar
- Multi-mode radar for detection, localisation, classification, and tracking of targets over water and land – all weather, day or night
- Maximum range of 200 nm. Tracking +100 surface targets while scanning
- Detects:
- Ocean-going fishing vessels or merchant ships between 80-200 nm
- Small craft or inflatable boats up to 35 nm
- SAR mode provides the capability of distinguishing and recognising ground contacts (1-metre resolution up to 40 nm, 3-metre resolution up to 80 nm)
Electro-Optical/Infrared
- Localisation, tracking and identification of targets through thermal or visual detection – adverse weather, day or night
- Detects small ships up to 20 nm distance, humans up to 8 nm distance
- EO/IR with auto-scan, auto-lock and auto-tracking
On-board mission system
- Analyses collected data, tracks targets, coordinates searches though communication (Data Link, Link Y, Link 11/16) with and vectoring of other assets
- Acting as on-scene commander coordinating the response in real time with the the Joint Rescue Coordination Center (JRCC)
