Sagem’s new GFCS is a centralized system located at the ship’s
operations center that integrates several functions: main and secondary
guns, radar, optronics and navigation systems. Capable of operating
from several multifunction consoles concurrently, Sagem’s GFCS
will also be interfaced with the combat management system. It’s
open architecture not only allows for easy integration but also ensures
flexibility and scalability for future upgrades and enhancement.
A long-standing partner to the Singapore Navy, Sagem has also supplied
the GFCS for the six Formidable class frigates, and four Endurance
class LSTs.
The new GFCS will be developed by Sagem at its Massy R&D center
near Paris. Through this program Sagem provides further proof of its
capabilities as systems integrator for combat systems, sensors and
decentralized information on military platforms.
(1) The upcoming Littoral Mission Vessel class program for Singapore
comprises eight 1,200-tonne vessels. This program, being led by ST Marine
as prime contractor, will replace the country’s current Fearless-class
patrol vessels.
