More
than a technological prowess, the Gowind® OPV L’Adroit is
an industrial challenge. Designed and built by DCNS in record time less
than 24 months, it also innovates by important partnerships. Many manufacturers
– including Sagem (Safran Group) – brought their experience.
Convinced by this new range of vessels signed by DCNS, the global leader
in solutions and services in optronics Sagem equipped the OPV L’Adroit
with the EOMS NG.The only system in the world capable of associating
long-range infrared panoramic search and track with electro-optical
gun fire control, EOMS NG provides detection, identification, and gun
engagement of all surface and air targets, from anti-ship sea-skimming
missiles to fast incoming attack craft (FIAC). Moreover, it is fully
remote controlled from POLARIS®, the Combat Management System (CMS)
developed by DCNS. |

Completing the conventional radar with optronic systems
makes the Gowind® OPV L’Adroit a relevant response to a more
and more uncertain security context, where asymmetric threats are now
to be reckoned with traditional military threats.
Heavily involved in the Gowind® adventure, Sagem has also installed
one of its inertial navigation systems on board of L’Adroit. Innovative
and upgradable, SIGMA 40 is based on ring-laser-gyro technology, the
most suitable technology for Navy applications which already equipped
32 Navies worldwide. This is the most sold inertial system in the world.
This system offers to the Gowind® OPV L’Adroit a high level
of performance and accuracy. It is compact, sturdy, and provides to
the crew all the data deemed crucial to navigate including: heading,
roll and pitch, angular velocities, position and heave. The crew took
note of the Gowind® OPV L’Adroit comfort.
