In the current JDW, there’s a tantalisingly brief article about Selex & their AESA radars. As well as mentioning that the Seaspray 7000E series has been sold to Ecuador & Italy for MPAs, as well as the USCG & the RN, it says that an AESA option for the M346 is being offered. What could it be, except for the Vixen 500E?
Can anyone think of a potential customer for this combination?
The article also touches on the Seaspray 5000E radar. It looks very suitable for smallish helicopters, & UAVs larger than the tactical UAVs which PicoSAR is aimed at.
Overall, a range covering everything below high-end fighter radars – but there’s the shared CAPTOR-E for that.
