Modernización posible en las fragatas Meko
- Tema iniciado Shandor
- Fecha de inicio
¿ La antena MAE de CITEDEF es algo parecido a esto ?
-Una Fragata de esas dimensiones hoy esta en los U$S 600 M de Dólares
de allí para arriba
-Con respecto a las Meko 360H2, le recuerdo que un buque no es algo
que esta sobre la tierra apoyado sobre algo firme por lo que hay que
respetar los pesos y el centro de gravedad a fin de que el embate
del mar no lo voltee por lo que no es nada fácil el aumentar capacidades
con cambios en la estructura del buque, las Meko son unidades que
permiten su actualización con el cambio de módulos pero no alterando
su estructura
-Es por ello que si el casco no fue pensado para recibir un VLS en los
lugares designados, no lo hará por que ello alteraría la estabilidad
del buque
-Por lo pronto las Meko 360H2 podrían cambiar su fisonomía solo a esto
Saludosss
la ultima imagen, me parece a mi que seria lo ideal a lo que hay que apuntar con las MEKO... pero...
no es posible alojar un VDS en la posicion actual de los BB de proa?
de ser posible... seria para mi la ubicación ideal para un lanzador MK-41 para ESSM.. reemplazando de esa manera al Albatros... y reemplazando tambien a los B de popa por 2 RAM...
o bien.. quitando los RAM de popa , se gana espacio para agrandar el hangar a toda la manga.... de esa forma se puede colocar sin demasiados problemas un RAM sobre el hangar...
si esta modificación no es posible...
es posible lanzar los ESSM desde el lanzador Albatros?
esta seria la otra alternativa.... reemplazando los 2 BB de proa por un RAM y los 2 de popa por 2 RAM.... o ,como dije anteriormente, uno solo sobre el hangar y este aumentado a toda la manga....
son alternativas que se me ocurren mas realistas y con cambios estructurales minimos.... (o ninguno si se mantiene el lanzador Albatros y se reemplazan 1 a 1 los BB de popa)
Yo iria por el barak 8 en ves del ESSM, por el origen mas que otra cosa
Hola..si es un muy lindo sistema el barak 8 ..pero si no tenemos dinero para un ESSM , no quiero imaginarme el barak 8...De todas formas tengo entendido que ambos misiles pueden ser lanzados desde el Mk 41..asi que seguimos en la misma, modificar la popa.
En cuanto a lanzar los ESSM desde el lanzador albatroz, no se en cuanto difieren del MK29, pero la version D del ESSM se lanza desde el MK29
tengo entendido que el ESSM cuesta un poco mas de U$S 700.000 c/u, con lo cual no es un sistema "caro".
Pero lo que si no nos salvamos, es de la pregunta..con que radares detectamos un misil??, con que dierectores los guiamos ???

Peso Pesado
No es caro pero tiene vencimiento, como todo misil yanki, encima el mantenimiento es exclusivo en EEUU y no tan barato.
Los misiles israelíes también necesitan mantenimiento, como todo aparato electronico, pero no tiene porque hacerse en Israel, te venden las herramientas y los manuales de mantenimiento.
El Mk48 lo metes casi en cualquier lado(lo diseñaron asi)

El VDS es un sonar que se larga por la popa; es un cuerpo hidrodinamico que busca poder sumregirse "bajo la capa"....normalmente es enorme...
no veo como podrias ubicarlo, de todos los lugars en un buque, en la posicion dos en la popa. Un VDS va en un solo lugar, la popa.
Incluso los rusos, que durante alguna epoca usaron sonares calables de helo en algunas fragatas ligeras ( Petyas, Mirkas, etc) los sumergian por la popa, aunque el buque debia detenerse y derivar para usarlo. Si uno recuerda el corto alcance de estos sistemas, hoy por hoy hacer eso es un suicido
de ser posible... seria para mi la ubicación ideal para un lanzador MK-41 para ESSM.. reemplazando de esa manera al Albatros... y reemplazando tambien a los B de popa por 2 RAM...
o bien.. quitando los RAM de popa , se gana espacio para agrandar el hangar a toda la manga.... de esa forma se puede colocar sin demasiados problemas un RAM sobre el hangar...
este lanzador no ha sido modificado aun, pero el muy similar Mk29 si , por lo que no deberia de ser dificil. Otra cosa es manejar el tema del computador de tiro...pero esa es otra cosa.
Tres RAM es overkill, solo grandes anfibios y CVNs llevan tres, y eso es mas por tema de arcos de tiro que nada mas. Cada lanzador Mk49 tiene 21 misiles. Con dos ( 42 armas) mas el Albatros estas mas que servido...el resto es overkill
Ojo, PanZZer, lo que muestras son lanzadores Mk56, ests usan una de las variaciones de atril para los Mk48, pero estos ultimos ( para el RIM 7 SeaSparrow) tienen gondolas sextuples, el Mk56 ( para ESSM; mas compacto) tiene de doce...
hay tres versiones parecidas entre Mk48 y 56; pozos para insertar en cubierta, lanzadores para adosar a la estructura ( como las M y City) y atriles sextuples/de doce para empernas en cubierta ( como los Absalon o Niels Juel Danesas)
Existiendo Mk48/56, no tiene sentido retrofitear Mk41 con todas sus complicaciones, especialmente si solo quieres instalar SAM de punto
Estos son Mk48 en una Niels Juel...

la verdad que un mastil I-Mast de la empresa Thales, estaría buenísimo..lo que no me queda en claro son los directores de tiro..ya que soluciona todos los temas de los distintos radares, ECM, y comunicaciones, pero no me aclara si el radar Sea Master 400 puede ser como el Apar y dirigir un misil semiactivo...
vean el video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sMgEsHC1Lc
en algunas imágenes figura como posibilidad de control de armas
Lo relevante de ESSM es que tiene desarrollo futuro garantizado, el riesgo por su lado es que el Barak 8 quede en suspenso de así decidirlo Israel e India y por otro que se paga en morlacos...el ESSM, sin ser barato, es muchísimo menos caro y, como siempre, la plata en serio esta en las modernizaciones, y en ese caso es simplemente un paquete Off The Shelf.
En el caso de los Absalon, en los que comparto tu gusto....se emplea ESSM con sistema de fuego solo defensivo. Las Huitveldt, una suerte de Absalon full spec Fragata AA de zona con la suite APAR de Thales tiene el panel para controlar XTC mas SM 2....
te dejo los folletos de ambos tipos de lanzador y sus muy interesantes subvariantes

Osea, si nos ponemos en esa, esa gente tiene Trident...y ESA si que es mala noticia en un mundo donde se acepta el ataque preemptivo ante amenaza convencional....:yonofui:
Mas en serio, Israel es aun mas vulnerable que UK ante presiones de EEUU. hay todo un mito que los Israelies te venden cuando nadie mas lo hace. En realidad en la Guerra Fria, ellos hacian la pega sucia que ni EEUU ni Europa querian asumir por sus precios politicos, pero son EXTREMADAMENTE vulnerables a la presion de EEUU..si los gringos dicen no, pues es no...mira los AEW Phalcon para China...
Sobre Barak8, epseremos y veamos, pero tienes que asumir que costara un dineral...y creeme, se de lo que hablo. Barak es excelente, eso esta fuera d duda..yo mismo he visto videos reales del coso bajando SSMs de veras...el tema mas bien es que cuesta dinerillo del bueno.
Sobre IMast, este es una opcion paa nueva construccion o refits especificos. No veo mayor sentido en la meko 360, ese dinero se podria gastar mucho mejor en el C2, nuevo radar tactico, EWs, helos, etc...
Al final del dia es solo un chiche...

Radar THALES SMART-S Mk2
RADAR SMART-S Mk2
Fuente: http://www.radartutorial.eu/19.kartei/karte507.en.html
Manufacturer: Hollandse Signaalapparaten BV, Niederlande, www.signaal.nl
SMART-S (Signaal Multibeam Acquisition Radar for Targeting) is an all-weather 3-D target indication and surveillance radar system intended for all types of naval vessels from fast patrol boats upwards.
Its prime application is as the main sensor for data handling and weapon system control, and it has a very high performance in the presence of heavy clutter and electronic countermeasures. The equipment has been designed to cope with small high-speed anti-ship missiles with radar cross-sections down to 0.1 m2 and approach speeds of Mach 3+, which can be either sea skimmers or arriving from high angles of 70° or more.
The SMART system operates in F-Band (the traditional of this frequency band name was S-Band, the designator is SMART-S therefore), where it offers an optimum balance between range, clutter rejection and antenna dimensions. It provides automatic detection, track initiation and track maintenance of both air and surface threats, with gapless coverage over a complete hemisphere from the sea surface upwards. It incorporates anti-clutter and electronic counter-countermeasures features such as multiple reception beams with ultra-low sidelobes in elevation and azimuth, a clutter analysis sensor, broadband transmission, pulse repetition frequency and radio frequency agility per burst and a jamming analysis sensor. SMART is designed to track 160 air targets and 40 surface targets simultaneously.
The system comprises an antenna and three main below-decks units. The hydraulically stabilised antenna consists of a single-element wideband transmitting array, and a multi-element stripline receiving array. The ultra-low sidelobe phased array allows the formation of multiple receive beams in elevation. To ensure high sensitivity, preprocessing of the received signals takes place in the antenna unit itself. The output of the 16 antennas is fed to a digital beam forming network in which the 12 independent elevation beams are produced, after which Doppler Fast Fourier Transform processing and automatic tracking is carried out. The transmitter is based on a high power, pulse-to-pulse coherent Traveling Wave Tube. Integral identification friend-or-foe can be provided.

Smart-S Mk2 – 3D medium to long range surveillance radar
Fuente: http://www.thalesgroup.com/Portfolio/Defence/Air_Systems_Product_-_Smart-S_Mk2/?pid=1568
SMART-S Mk2, Thales’s latest 3D multibeam radar, operates in S-band and is optimised for medium-to-long-range surveillance and target designation in littoral environments.
The latter consisting of a mix of sea, land, islands, coastal rains and thunderstorms and a multiple of radar targets including small surface targets, helicopters and anti-ship missiles. Furthermore, SMART-S Mk2 is designed to match the full performance of surface to air missiles (SAM), such as the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM).
SMART-S Mk2 is extremely suitable as the main air and surface surveillance radar in a one radar concept for light frigates, corvettes and ships such as Landing Platform Docks (LPD). With its 2 main modes, 250-km range, special helicopter mode, surface fire channels, easy installation, high reliability and easy maintainability, SMART-S Mk2 is again a step forward in Thales’s radar development.

General
SMART-S Mk2, the newest Thales Naval 3D multibeam radar, is optimized for medium-to-long range air and surface surveillance and target designation. This stateof-the-art radar is an excellent performer in complex littoral environments with their mix of sea, land, rain, thunderstorms and targets such as multiple small surface ships, helicopters and anti-ship missiles. The detection range allows the full performance of new medium-range SAM-systems such as ESSM. Graceful degradation through the use of multiple solid state transmit modules and multiple receive channels ensures robust performance throughout the spectrum of military operations.
Through the use of Doppler processing SMART-S Mk2 can detect even the stealthiest of targets in a cluttered environment by measuring radial speed directly. As a multibeam radar SMART-S Mk2 offers the long dwell time per target required for good radial speed measurements.
SMART-S Mk2 is an optimal sensor for target indication to a fire control tracking system. By providing 3D tracks the radar supports correct classification and rapid acquisition. The elevation accuracy is high (even in case of multipath by using receive beams below the horizon) and suited to directly launch fire and forget missiles.
SMART-S Mk2 is well suited for detection of helicopters due to dedicated rotor hub detection capabilities. For guidance of helicopters and UAVs it can use very short pulses, providing a short minimum range.
SMART-S Mk2 is designed for ease of maintenance and can support maintenance free missions. This is achieved by reducing single points of failures (graceful degradation), high MTBF per component, low MTTR and solidstate transmit modules.
SMART-S Mk2 is easy to install on board. The antenna uses electronic stabilization. The solid state transmit modules are integrated in the antenna meaning no separate transmitter cabinet and waveguide are required. Foot print reduction is achieved through the use of powerful processing boards housed in a single processing cabinet. The total system weight is comparable to that of 3D G-band radars!

MF-STAR + BARAK 8
EL/M-2248 MF-STAR Naval Multi-Mission Radar
The MF-STAR is a multi-function S-band solid-state active conformal phased array radar system for the new generation of military ships. As the ship's primary sensor the radar provides 3D long-range air surveillance. At medium range it will automatically track and classify threat and simultaneously, search the horizon for potential missile threats. In parallel, it supports multiple engagements by offensive and defensive weapons. Designated EL/M-2248 the radar system delivers high quality arena situation picture and weapons support, under the toughest target/environment conditions in the existing and future naval arena.
Incorporating advanced technology and robust system architecture; the MF-STAR employs multi-beam and pulse Doppler techniques as-well-as robust ECCM techniques to extract fast, low RCS targets from complex clutter and jamming environments.
EL/M-2248 - MF-STAR is a multi-function solid-state active conformal phased array radar system designed for the new generation of naval vessels designed for both Blue water and Littoral warfare. The system can operate in multiple functions simultaneously, delivering high-quality situation picture, supporting offensive weapons, while performing self-defense and battlegroup protection roles. MF-STAR employs multi-beam and pulse doppler techniques using advanced beam forming techniques embedded with robust ECCM techniques to extract fast, low RCS targets from complex clutter and jamming environments. The agile radar operates in multiple simultaneous modes, offering short search frames and Track While Scan (TWS) revisit time. The system also offers rapid tracking update rate and high accuracy for priority targets. The radar will automatically establish tracks of high flying targets at ranges beyond 250km and at low flying targets, at ranges above of 25 km.
Weighing about seven tons, the radar uses four flat lightweight antennae operating in the S-band that can be tailored to fit even relatively small ships, from corvettes and above. Hardware architecture and technology ensure high system availability, low maintenance and low life cycle cost.
For weapons guidance, MF-STAR Supports different operating modes of missile systems including mid-course guidance of active/semi-active anti-air missiles and Illumination enslavement for semi-active missiles, thus making dedicated guidance radar systems redundant. Also incorporates is an automatic splash detection and measurement, to support naval gunnery in maritime security and close-in defense role.
This radar is currently under development, in anticipation for fielding with the Israel Navy next generation Saar 5+ corvette as well as with other modern vessels, planned for procurement or upgrading by foreign navies. The system is integrated as part of the advanced version of the Barak missile known as Barak-NG and Indian MR-SAM (also designated as Barak 8).
Elta has already implemented its static phased array radar technology in several programs, including the Phalcon airborne early warning (AEW) system, as well as the early warning radar for the Arrow missile interceptor system, and the new artiller/air defense Multi-Mission Radar.
--------------
India, Israel to Jointly Pursue Medium-Range Air Defense Missile
India and Israel agreed to jointly develop a new long range, land-based air defense system to replace the aging Pechora (SA-3 GOA) missiles currently in service with the Indian Air Force. Covering a range of 70 km, the new missile will extend the 60km range of the vertically launched Barak 8 shipborne missile (also known as Barak NG) currently being developed for the Indian and Israeli Navies under a US$480 million five year program launched in early 2006.
The new system is expected to streamline with the original Barak 8 schedule, adding about $300 million to the program development cost. In its decision last week the Indian Government earmarked a total funding of about Rs10,000 crore (about US$2.5 billion) for the medium range surface-to-air missiles (MR-SAM) project. The program will include the deployment of up to nine air defense squadrons.
Image: A view of the Barak NG. MR-SAM is expected to be longer and use slightly different aerodynamic design. (Photo: IAI)
The MR-SAM development will be conducted under the bilateral agreement signed between the two countries, which will guide the scope of collaboration formulating between DRDO and IAI defined in a memorandum of agreement signed in New Delhi, June 2007.
The Indian Air Force plans to reequip nine air defense squadrons with the new missile, each including two batteries comprising a multi-mission radar system performing target acquisition and guidance, command-and-control element and three container-launchers each mounting eight missiles.
SPYDER SR SAM
Prime contractor for the program will be the Indian DRDO, with IAI missile and space group acting as leading subcontractor with IAI's Elta Systems providing the radar and Israel's RAFAEL producing the interceptor missiles. According to the bilateral agreement, the Indians will be able to locally produce and support the systems. India has also concluded the acquisition of 18 SPYDER SR quick reaction surface-to-air missile systems for point defense. The Spyder will be locally produced in India by Bharat Dynamics limited. The current contract worth is about Rs1,800 crore (US$450 million).
India and RAFAEL are considering further derivatives of the systems to replace the Army's current aging air defenses, such as Tungushka and OSA-AK (SA-8). India has also expressed interest in acquiring the Israeli Arrow-II missile defense system, developed under an US-Israeli cooperation. India has already acquired the system's Green-Pine radar, developed exclusively with Israeli funding and, therefore, was unrestricted by US export approval. As for the export prospects of the Arrow, Israel hesitates to request export approvals for the system, and expects third parties, such as the Indians or Turks (also interested in the system) to approach the US State Department to endorse the system's export.
Akash Missile System
In the past years the DRDO developed the Akash missile system, which was based on a system similar to the SA-6 Gainful, but despite the extensive effort invested in the program, Akash did not reach operational status. The new missile system will be based on the medium-range naval air defense missile currently under development for the Indian and Israeli Navies. The naval application of the missile will be integrated with the MF-STAR phased array shipborne radar, which Elta claims to be superior to the SPY-1 AEGIS radar. Overall, the MF-STAR / Barak 8 combination is claimed to be superior to the leading US made systems such as AEGIS or Patriot PAC-3 missile systems.

EL/M-2248 MF-STAR Naval Multi-Mission Radar
The MF-STAR is a multi-function S-band solid-state active conformal phased array radar system for the new generation of military ships. As the ship's primary sensor the radar provides 3D long-range air surveillance. At medium range it will automatically track and classify threat and simultaneously, search the horizon for potential missile threats. In parallel, it supports multiple engagements by offensive and defensive weapons. Designated EL/M-2248 the radar system delivers high quality arena situation picture and weapons support, under the toughest target/environment conditions in the existing and future naval arena.
Incorporating advanced technology and robust system architecture; the MF-STAR employs multi-beam and pulse Doppler techniques as-well-as robust ECCM techniques to extract fast, low RCS targets from complex clutter and jamming environments.
EL/M-2248 - MF-STAR is a multi-function solid-state active conformal phased array radar system designed for the new generation of naval vessels designed for both Blue water and Littoral warfare. The system can operate in multiple functions simultaneously, delivering high-quality situation picture, supporting offensive weapons, while performing self-defense and battlegroup protection roles. MF-STAR employs multi-beam and pulse doppler techniques using advanced beam forming techniques embedded with robust ECCM techniques to extract fast, low RCS targets from complex clutter and jamming environments. The agile radar operates in multiple simultaneous modes, offering short search frames and Track While Scan (TWS) revisit time. The system also offers rapid tracking update rate and high accuracy for priority targets. The radar will automatically establish tracks of high flying targets at ranges beyond 250km and at low flying targets, at ranges above of 25 km.
Weighing about seven tons, the radar uses four flat lightweight antennae operating in the S-band that can be tailored to fit even relatively small ships, from corvettes and above. Hardware architecture and technology ensure high system availability, low maintenance and low life cycle cost.
For weapons guidance, MF-STAR Supports different operating modes of missile systems including mid-course guidance of active/semi-active anti-air missiles and Illumination enslavement for semi-active missiles, thus making dedicated guidance radar systems redundant. Also incorporates is an automatic splash detection and measurement, to support naval gunnery in maritime security and close-in defense role.
This radar is currently under development, in anticipation for fielding with the Israel Navy next generation Saar 5+ corvette as well as with other modern vessels, planned for procurement or upgrading by foreign navies. The system is integrated as part of the advanced version of the Barak missile known as Barak-NG and Indian MR-SAM (also designated as Barak 8).
Elta has already implemented its static phased array radar technology in several programs, including the Phalcon airborne early warning (AEW) system, as well as the early warning radar for the Arrow missile interceptor system, and the new artiller/air defense Multi-Mission Radar.

India, Israel to Jointly Pursue Medium-Range Air Defense Missile
India and Israel agreed to jointly develop a new long range, land-based air defense system to replace the aging Pechora (SA-3 GOA) missiles currently in service with the Indian Air Force. Covering a range of 70 km, the new missile will extend the 60km range of the vertically launched Barak 8 shipborne missile (also known as Barak NG) currently being developed for the Indian and Israeli Navies under a US$480 million five year program launched in early 2006.
The new system is expected to streamline with the original Barak 8 schedule, adding about $300 million to the program development cost. In its decision last week the Indian Government earmarked a total funding of about Rs10,000 crore (about US$2.5 billion) for the medium range surface-to-air missiles (MR-SAM) project. The program will include the deployment of up to nine air defense squadrons.

The MR-SAM development will be conducted under the bilateral agreement signed between the two countries, which will guide the scope of collaboration formulating between DRDO and IAI defined in a memorandum of agreement signed in New Delhi, June 2007.
The Indian Air Force plans to reequip nine air defense squadrons with the new missile, each including two batteries comprising a multi-mission radar system performing target acquisition and guidance, command-and-control element and three container-launchers each mounting eight missiles.
SPYDER SR SAM
Prime contractor for the program will be the Indian DRDO, with IAI missile and space group acting as leading subcontractor with IAI's Elta Systems providing the radar and Israel's RAFAEL producing the interceptor missiles. According to the bilateral agreement, the Indians will be able to locally produce and support the systems. India has also concluded the acquisition of 18 SPYDER SR quick reaction surface-to-air missile systems for point defense. The Spyder will be locally produced in India by Bharat Dynamics limited. The current contract worth is about Rs1,800 crore (US$450 million).
India and RAFAEL are considering further derivatives of the systems to replace the Army's current aging air defenses, such as Tungushka and OSA-AK (SA-8). India has also expressed interest in acquiring the Israeli Arrow-II missile defense system, developed under an US-Israeli cooperation. India has already acquired the system's Green-Pine radar, developed exclusively with Israeli funding and, therefore, was unrestricted by US export approval. As for the export prospects of the Arrow, Israel hesitates to request export approvals for the system, and expects third parties, such as the Indians or Turks (also interested in the system) to approach the US State Department to endorse the system's export.
Akash Missile System
In the past years the DRDO developed the Akash missile system, which was based on a system similar to the SA-6 Gainful, but despite the extensive effort invested in the program, Akash did not reach operational status. The new missile system will be based on the medium-range naval air defense missile currently under development for the Indian and Israeli Navies. The naval application of the missile will be integrated with the MF-STAR phased array shipborne radar, which Elta claims to be superior to the SPY-1 AEGIS radar. Overall, the MF-STAR / Barak 8 combination is claimed to be superior to the leading US made systems such as AEGIS or Patriot PAC-3 missile systems.
