스웨덴이 비스비급 초계함에 장착할 CAMM Sea Ceptor 공대공미사일을 주문했네요. 11월 16일 발표됐고 금액이나 수량은 기사엔 안 나왔지만 5척의 비스비급 현대화에 쓰일 예정이며, 2025년 말 설치를 시작하고 1번함은 1년 뒤 해군에 인도할 계획이라고 합니다.
비스비급엔 함대공미사일이 없었네요. 레이더로는 Sea Giraffe와 I밴드 대수상 레이더, I/J밴드 사통레이더가 달려있다고 합니다. 능동유도니 따로 조사기같은 걸 설치할 필요는 없겠네요. MLU하면서 레이더를 갈아치울 수도 있고..

Sweden orders MBDA missiles for its Visby-class fleet

LONDON — The Royal Swedish Navy has signed a deal to buy Common Anti-air Modular Missiles from MBDA, the manufacturer announced Nov. 16.
The Nordic nation ordered the CAMM weapon to arm its futuristic-looking Visby-class corvette with a short-range anti-air capability. The move is part of a larger effort by Saab Kockums to upgrade the five-strong fleet of stealth corvettes.
The Swedish shipyard is scheduled to commence installation of Sea Ceptor on the first Visby corvette at the end of 2025, with and plans to hand over the first ship to the naval force about 12 months later, according to FMV, the nation’s defense procurement arm.
FMV noted it wants the capability in place as soon as possible.
The CAMM weapon is fired from MBDA’s Sea Ceptor air defense system, which has scored a clutch of export customers since it entered service with the British Royal Navy in 2018. Among others, they include naval customers in Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Italy and Brazil.
Poland is buying the land version of CAMM but also plans to deploy the weapon on its Miecznik-class frigates, which are based on Babcock International’s Arrowhead 140 design. The British Royal Navy has ordered Type 31 vessels based on the same design.
Eric Beranger, MBDA’s chief executive, said the weapon will bolster Sweden’s contribution to NATO.
“CAMM will provide Sweden and the Royal Swedish Navy with a formidable air defence capability that gives the country a strong new contribution to NATO together with other allied Sea Ceptor users like the Royal Navy,” he said in a statement.
Neither Sweden nor MBDA provided a contract value for the CAMM order.
The CAMM has a range in excess of 25 kilometers (16 miles). MBDA’s U.K. arm originally developed the weapon for the British military, which has deployed it for ground-based and naval air defense roles.
첫댓글 함대공 미사일이 없으면 느린 드론이 함포 사거리 밖에서 던지는 폭탄에도 일방적인 수세에 몰리겠네요.
포항급이나 구 울산급은 몇 년만 더 굴렸다면 북한군 드론의 밥 신세였네요
