General STING-EO Mk2 is easy to install on board. Most of its compo- STING-EO Mk2 is Thales Nederland’s latest multi-purpose nents are installed in the above-deck director. This results in a multi-sensor naval fire control tracking system. small below deck footprint, limited ship cabling and no need for a STING-EO Mk2 is an evolution of STING-EO, both of which waveguide run. are based on the proven and widely trusted STIR family of fire control tracking systems. Main characteristics STING-EO Mk2 supports gun fire control, performs • Automatic acquisition and tracking of targets with adaptive kill assessment and makes a valuable contribution to waveform techniques classification and identification of threats. In addition, • Sophisticated signal and data processing, including optimum the system can be used as a surveillance sensor, even filtering techniques for tracking of manoeuvring targets in under radar silence conditions. cluttered environments STING-EO Mk2 overcomes the tracking problems often • Extensive ECCM facilities associated with low-flying missiles. By applying dual radar • Solid State transmitters for I-band and K-band bands (I- and K-band), and complemented by EO sensors, • On-line BIT with fault detection and isolation down to LRU level STING-EO Mk2 realizes extremely high track continuity, • Small below deck footprint, no ship’s waveguide run. even in littoral, high-clutter and jamming scenarios. STING-EO Mk2 offers low life cycle cost and high opera- tional availability, achieved primarily by the application of solid state I- and K-band transmitters. These modular units have high reliability and offer ‘graceful degradation’: In case of malfunctions, performance is only reduced in steps, there is no single point of failure. This allows repairs to be postponed to after the mission. During day, night and radar silence conditions detection, observation and tracking are enabled by the latest electro-optical components. STING-EO Mk2 employs a third generation focal plane array MWIR-camera, colour and black & white TV cameras and an eye-safe (class 1M) Laser Range Finder
