Part of the ship's combat
system, the SIGMA 40 features high-precision measurements, reliability
and performance stability over time. It significantly enhances the
efficiency of a warship's sensors, weapons and self-defense systems.
Several versions of the Sigma 40 are available to cover the different
operational requirements on all types of ships: surface vessels (from
corvette to aircraft carrier), and the SIGMA 40XP version for conventional,
AIP or nuclear submarines.
The SIGMA 40 has been chosen by 35 navies, and is now the best-selling
naval inertial navigation system in the world.
The French navy has chosen the Sigma 40 for all major ships: FREMM
and Horizon multimission frigates, Mistral command and force projection
ships, Rubis-Améthyste class nuclear attack submarines and
the future Suffren class nuclear submarine (Barracuda program), and
most recently the Adroit ocean-going patrol boat from the DCNS. In
international markets, the SIGMA 40 has been chosen for Baynunah corvettes
(United Arab Emirates), Skjold patrol boats (Norway), the new stealthy
frigates and Scorpène submarines (India), and PKX patrol boats,
FFX frigates and, most recently, modernization of U-209 submarines
(South Korea).
