초계함/고속함 이집트, 미사일고속정 4척 현대화 사업 FMS 허가

[위종민]

이집트가 미사일고속정 4척 현대화 사업에 대해 FMS 허가를 받았습니다. 규모는 6억 2,500만 달러이고, COMBATSS-21 전투체계, 대공/대수상 레이더, 채프 기만기 시스템, EO/IR 센서, 전자전 시스템, 사격통제 레이다 시스템, 76mm 함포 업그레이드 등이 포함돼 있네요. 주계약자는 록히드 마틴과 L3해리스입니다. 

아마도 배수량 600톤급의 에자트(앰버서더 Mk.III)급 고속정이 현대화 대상인 듯 하네요. 미국이 건조해 이집트에 팔았고, 2013년~2014년에 4척이 취역했습니다. 현대화 시점이 조금 이른 것 같긴 한데, 6척이 취역해 현재 4척 보유중인 옥토버급 미사일 고속정은 1970년대 취역한 물건이네요. 

에자트급은 미국에서 건조했는데 레이다도 탈레스제 MRR-3D NG를 포함해 탈레스제로 도배했고, 전투체계도 탈레스제 TACTICOS를 사용중인데 미국제로 다 갈아끼울 모양입니다. 

COMBATSS-21 전투체계는 프리덤급 LCS에 실린 시스템이네요.

WASHINGTON, February 04, 2025 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Egypt of Fast Missile Craft Modernization and related elements of logistics and program support for an estimated cost of $625 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of Egypt has requested to buy equipment and services including four (4) Component Based Total Ship System, 21st Century (COMBATSS-21) combat management systems to modernize its four fast missile craft (FMC). Also included are air and surface surveillance radars; chaff decoy systems; electro-optical/infrared sensor systems; electronic warfare systems; navigation data distribution systems; communications intelligence systems; fire control radar systems; 76 mm gun upgrades; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $625 million.

This proposed sale will support U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by helping to improve the security of a friendly country that continues to be an important force for political stability and economic growth in the Middle East.

The proposed sale will improve Egypt’s capability to meet current and future threats by increasing the tactical and operational capabilities of the Egyptian Navy to support strategic maritime security objectives. Egypt will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractors will be Lockheed Martin, located in Manassas, VA, and L3Harris, located in Northampton, MA. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.

Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Egypt.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.

All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Bureau of Political Military-Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.

Integrating the Aegis Derived COMBATSS-21 with the Littoral Combat Ship | Lockheed Martin

Integrating the Aegis Derived COMBATSS-21 with the Littoral Combat Ship

January 01, 2016

As new threats emerge and defense budgets shrink, the U.S Navy and allied nations are seeking a new breed of fighting ship—one that balances capability and affordability like never before. The ship of tomorrow is needed today, and it must have cutting-edge anti-air, anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare capabilities.

A ship built for speed, survivability and multiple missions needs a combat system that is just as quick and adaptable. COMBATSS-21, is the Aegis-derived combat management system that will be integrated on all U.S. Navy littoral combat ships and frigates.

Initially developed for the Freedom-variant LCS, COMBATSS-21 is the backbone of the ship’s mission system and integrates the radar, electro-optical infrared cameras, gun fire control system, countermeasures and short-range anti-air missiles. Lockheed Martin partnered closely with the U.S. Navy to develop and integrate the scalable combat system for the next-generation surface fleet.

For decades, the Aegis Combat System has shielded sailors at sea and ashore from a wide range of missile attacks. As the Navy’s operations evolve, Aegis is also evolving to fit a variety of ships of all shapes and sizes that are completing critical missions such as:

• Anti-terrorism and force protection
• Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance
• Mine warfare
• Homeland defense
• Special operations
• Maritime interdiction and interception.

Key Components of COMBATSS-21

Open architecture
Open architecture has become the touchstone for innovation and invention. Today, sailors are reaping the rewards of the common resources and commercial systems that open architecture offers. Open architecture has enabled increased responsiveness to the mission and increased collaboration across the industry, government, commercial companies and academia that is pushing the boundaries of technology to make the Navy quicker, stronger and smarter in its responses.

Future technology and capability innovations
At the heart of COMBATSS-21 and all Aegis evolutions is the Common Source Library (CSL), which enables software reuse and commonality across surface ships and land based installations. The CSL meets two basic customer needs: rapid technology deployment and cost savings.

Software updates can be developed and quickly released across the fleet in an efficient “build once, field many times” process. Using its CSL pedigree, COMBATSS-21 also allows for the seaframe integration of advanced radars, missiles and launchers, which increases the lethality of smaller ships.

Low-risk solution with life cycle affordability
Elements of COMBATSS-21 have already been proven with the surface fleet. Common software is aboard all Aegis destroyers and cruisers at sea, and the C2 system code will be the same as what is fielded in the fleet today. Instead of developing new code, COMBATSS-21 brings existing code from an Aegis ship into a smaller ship. Because the Navy has already invested in Aegis, using COMBATSS-21 reduces cost for integration, test and certification by eliminating redundancies.

Cost savings come through training requirements, too. By integrating an Aegis-derived system on new ships, the Navy will be able to leverage the knowledge of sailors already skilled to operate Aegis. Existing Aegis training programs can prepare sailors to operate components of COMBATSS-21. Now, sailors can come off an Aegis destroyer or cruiser, and board a LCS with a high level of familiarity with the system they need to operate.

Results
Littoral combat ships USS Freedom and USS Fort Worth each deployed with COMBATSS-21, and participated in international partnership exercises, conducted humanitarian aid missions and proved the concept of operations for the littoral combat ship class. Two additional ships, the USS Milwaukee and the USS Detroit, have completed acceptance trials and received perfect scores on the detect to engage tests.  The COMBATSS-21 system integrated seamlessly with the ship and other systems to provide enhanced situational awareness for sailors on the ship and ashore.

저 개량비용은 미국의 대이집트 군사원조 자금에서 충당되겠죠?

트럼프가 FMF를 깐다고 하는데 이집트 지원 금액은 얼마나 깎일 지 모르겠습니다.
