CEROS 200 (CElsius tech Radar and Optronic Site) is a radar and optronic tracking fire control director designed by
Saab
Saab or SAAB may refer to:
Brands and enterprises
* Saab Group, a Swedish aerospace and defence company, formerly known as SAAB, and later as Saab AB
** Datasaab, a former computer company, started as spin off from Saab AB
* Saab Automobile, a fo ...
for use along with the
9LV Naval Fire Control System on naval ships. When interfaced to modern missile or gun systems it provides defence against any modern threat including advanced
sea skimming
Sea skimming is a technique many anti-ship missiles and some fighter or strike aircraft use to avoid radar, infrared detection, and to lower probability of being shot down during their approach to the target.
Method
Sea-skimming anti-ship missi ...
missiles or asymmetric surface threats in littoral environments.
Features
The radar design incorporates many electronic counter-countermeasures:
* Very low antenna side lobes
* Very wide bandwidth
* A large number of transmit frequencies
* Random selection of frequency
* Lock on jam, track on jam
Unlike other fire control radars, the CEROS 200 can guide 2 missiles, like the
ESSM, at once.
Accuracy
The CEROS 200 director provides 3D tracking. This enables the operator to deal with advanced air and surface threats.
FCS firing accuracy as measured by an independent agency in a range of conditions:
Within 1 meter (radius): 36%
1–2 meter (radius): 23%
2–4 meter (radius): 19%
4–6 meter (radius): 22%
