A New Naval PDMS Concept

Not to be missed is the presentation of the new version of the MICA missile * the Vertical Launch MICA * intended to carry out air defence / anti-missile missions when confronted with saturation attacks both from ships and from land-based batteries.

Unlike the Point Defence Missile System currently in use, the VL MICA makes it possible to simultaneously engage multiple targets regardless of weather or electronic warfare conditions, with a total coverage over 360 degrees. These performances can only be obtained by using the all-weather fire-and-forget MICA missile fitted with a thrust vector control system.

The VL MICA system is a very simple one, using radar and optronic surveillance resources that are already installed on the platform to be protected (ship, airfield, etc…) to provide the missile with its target designation. The VL MICA is therefore ideally positioned between VSHORAD (Mistral, Simbad, Tetral…) and long-range (Aster) air defence systems.

The Vertical Launch MICA system is a very simple one, using standardised radar and optronic surveillance resources to provide the missile with its target designation. This is the only data that is necessary prior to launch.

The Vertical Launch MICA was designed using state of the art high technologies but those already in mass production in order to eliminate all development-related risks. These technologies include MICA RF and MICA IR missiles (in production since 1996 and 2000 respectively), a vertical launching capacity already validated by several MICA ground-to-air firings and the mass-produced VL SEAWOLF modular launcher, which is fully compatible with the MICA.

Sounds to me like it is easily and fully interchangeable.

VL MICA is integrated in the ship combat system, which provides target designation data from existing air-defence sensors. No dedicated fire-control system is needed (neither illuminator nor radar tracker).

Both VL MICA and VL SEAWOLF missiles are stored and transported in sealed a launch canister and require no maintenance on-board ship. The canister has its own integral ducts for efflux management, making installation on board ship simple and flexible.
VL Mica: Weight 112 kg, Length 3.1 m, Diameter 0.16 m
VL Sea Wolf: Weight 140 kg, Length 3 m, Diameter 0.18 m

Quad packing for use in MK41 or Sylver launchers would seem entirely possible

Romania Set to Purchase Royal Navy Broadsword Frigates ( February 2003 )

Romania is set to acquire the former Royal Navy Type 22 Batch 2 frigates HMS Coventry and HMS London at a cost equivalent to $140 million. The Coventry was decommissioned in 2001 and the London two years earlier. The sales are subject to an intergovernmental accord. Two of three other vessels of this class, the former HMS Beavsource er and HMS Boxer, are scheduled to be expended as targets.

Romania wants to acquire the ships as part of the country’s NATO membership plan, but the ships will require substantial upgrading. The contract includes provisions for a refit, which will be carried out by BAE Systems Customer Solutions and Support Business, which is the lead contractor for the disposal of former Royal Navy ships as well as for refitting and upgrading them.

The ships will have their Marconi Type 967/968 search radars and Type 911 weapons-control radars replaced by more modern sensors during the refit, along with their Ferranti CACS 1 combat-management system and, probably, their electronic warfare systems. The Romanian Navy decided not to retain the BAE Seawolf point-defense missiles and as a replacement has selected the MBDA VL Mica, with two eight-cell launchers installed in place of the Type 911 trackers.

The two frigates also are scheduled to be armed with Oto Melara 76mm Super Rapid guns but it is unclear what surface-to-surface missile will be selected. It is understood that there has been no selection of electronic systems, but approaches have been made to AMS and Thales Naval Nederland.

As much as possible of the modernization program, including all later stages of the upgrades, will be carried out in Romania, and an agreed industrial offset package will involve Romania in a range of manufacturing programs. If the purchase goes ahead the Romanian Navy will have two modern warships with expected service lives of 20-30 years.

Related Note: The third ship of the class, HMS Sheffield, was decommissioned on 14 November and it is reported that Chile is negotiating her purchase. It is possible that two Type 23 frigates may become available for sale next year and these also would be a potential acquisition for Chile. *

It has been selected. However, whether it was actually purchased …. ? It certainly isn’t installed yet.
