Developed
and produced by Sagem, the EOMS-NG is a high-performance, third-generation
optronic (electro-optical) system that provides panoramic infrared
surveillance, reconnaissance, identification and tracking. The EOMS-NG
operates day or night, at sea or in coastal areas, and against all
types of threat, whether surface, air or missiles, and conventional
or asymmetric. EOMS-NG systems are controlled from Sagem consoles
located at the operations center and the close air defense bridge.
The program also provides for complete maintenance of all systems
delivered over a period of three years, including spares and the
production of a simulation system to train operators at the Naval
Instruction Center in Saint-Mandrier.
The EOMS-NG systems will be produced by Sagem’s Dijon plant,
for delivery from summer 2014 to the end of 2015. Each of the four
frigates will be equipped with a system.
Sagem has logged more than 40 years of experience in developing
and producing optronic systems for both surface vessels and submarines.
The EOMS-NG has been chosen for the Floréal and OPV Adroit
class frigates made by DCNS, and Baynunah corvettes for the United
Arab Emirates. The VAMPIR-NG, an infrared surveillance version of
the EOMS-NG, will be used on Anzac class frigates for Australia
and New Zealand, and Australia’s aircraft carriers and AWD
air warfare destroyers.
