Paper Abstract
Modern warships ranging from Air Warfare Destroyers to Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) and Fast Patrol Boats have to
deal with an ever increasing variety of threats, both symmetric and asymmetric, for self-protection. This last category
has introduced new requirements for combat systems sensors and effectors: situation awareness in proximity of the own
ship has become a priority, as well as the need for new, lethal or non-lethal effectors for timely and proportional
response.
Naval Combat Systems (CS) architects are then faced with an alternative: they can either use existing CS sensors, C2
and weapons, or else rely on new, specialized equipments. Both approaches have their pros and cons, with the cost issue
not necessarily trivial to assess.
In this paper, we present a multifunction system that is both a passive IRST (InfraRed Search and Track) sensor,
designed to automatically detect and track air and surface threats, and an Electro Optical Director (EOD), capable of
providing identification of objects as well as accurate 3D tracks. Following an introduction reviewing the design goals
for the equipment, the EOMS NG processing architecture is described (Image & Tracking Processes). Then, system
performances are presented for different scenarios provided from Field Tests.
