MBDA has been awarded a first contract for Albatros NG, a brand new CAMM-ER based air defence system from an undisclosed international customer
Albatros NG is a new generation Naval Based Air Defence (NBAD) system, based on the CAMM-ER, which is the extended range variant of the Common Anti-air Modular Missile (CAMM) family already delivered to customers around the world for both ground based and naval air defence.
Under the terms of this recent order, Albatros NG will be in service in 2024.
Albatros NG, deriving its name from the legacy Albatros systems which have been in service with the Italian Navy and several export customers for years, is suitable for different kinds of vessels providing air defence capability for platforms ranging from patrol vessels and corvettes to destroyers. It also allows a complementary layer for larger vessels such as frigates and destroyers already equipped with a long range air defence system.
The internet of things has helped the service field networked sensor nodes to share intelligence information.
During Operation Iraqi Freedom more than fifteen years ago, former Joint Chief of Staff Gen. Richard Myers described integrated, multi-platform attack as a kind of “fusion,” describing how at the time prototype Global Hawk drones were used to gather real-time intelligence data and network video-feed sensor data to other airborne platforms through ground-based command and control.
A Global Hawk, Myers explained, could obtain crucial, time-sensitive war data and network the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) data to several assets such as an Air Force Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) surveillance plane.
