The '''Norwegian Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System 2''' (abbreviated ''NASAMS 2'') is a module-based, distributed and networked medium range air-defence system, designed by the Norwegian [[Kongsberg Gruppen]]. NASAMS 2 is an upgraded version of the [[NASAMS]] air-defence system and it has been operational since 2007. |
|||
A complete NASAMS 2 battery consists of 12 missile launchers (LCHR) (each one carrying six [[AIM-120 AMRAAM]] missiles), eight [[radar]]s (AN/MPQ-64 F1 Improved Sentinel [[X band]] [[3D radar]]), one fire control centre (CTOC), one electro-optical camera vehicle (MSP500) and one Tactical Control Cell (TCC) vehicle. |
|||
The upgrades consists of: |
|||
*New radars, which can be mounted on a variety of vehicles. The radars have their own power supply and can process and distribute the data independently. The vehicles can be connected via radio links, cable, through [[Multi Rolle Radio]], or through [[TADKOM]]. |
|||
*The radars have a broader frequency spectrum and variable rotation speeds, and also an increased capacity to spot and follow targets. |
|||
* Each module can automatically determine its position with its northfinder and GPS instruments. |
|||
*The control centre modules can be mounted on a large variety of vehicles |
|||
* The electro-optical MSP500 sensor is equipped with a [[laser rangefinder]] and a TV-camera, as well as an upgraded [[thermographic camera]]. These can be used to fire the missiles passively, which has been successfully tested. |
|||
The control system can detach itself from the sensors, in order to become less visible. |
