The LMM Missile Launching System (MLS), developed to provide defense for refineries, seaports and naval bases against variety of surface threats, is a customized compact and lightweight solution for Fast Interceptor Boats (FIB). It has been designed to have minimum weight and impact on FIB speed and maneuverability.
The basic system configuration comprises a lightweight stand alone stabilized Electro Optic (EO) Suite, a stabilized weapon turret and Fire Control subsystem distributed on the boat. Laser Transmitter Unit required for Laser Beam Guiding and other EO units for target detection and tracking are located inside the stabilized EO Suite.
MLS can automatically slew to the target coordinates assigned by EO Suite supported by FIB radar. The system can be operated using its own operator panel located in the wheelhouse.
The LMM Missile Launching System (MILAS) developed to provide defense for refineries, seaports and naval bases against variety of surface and aerial threats is a customized compact and lightweight solution for a wide range of naval platforms such as fast interceptor crafts, patrol boats and corvettes. It has been designed to have minimum weight and impact on the platform speed and maneuverability. MILAS has the capability to fire Lightweight Multirole Missile (LMM) developed by THALES UK. The basic system configuration comprises a lightweight stand alone stabilized Electro Optic (EO) suite, a stabilized weapon turret accommodating four ready-to-launch LMMs and a Fire Control subsystem distributed on the boat. The Laser Transmitter Unit required for the guidance of LMM and other EO units for target detection and tracking are located inside the stabilized EO Suite. The turret stabilization capability of MILAS enables missile firing without being affected by the disturbances due to the platform motions. MILAS can automatically slew to the target coordinates assigned
by stabilized EO suite supported by the radar onboard the platform. The system can be operated using its own operator panel located in the wheelhouse. The successful MILAS qualification firing was performed in 2016.
