Sagem to equip four Swedish Navy's submarines with Series 30 optronic masts.

Saab Kockums' selection of Sagem's optronic mast was based on its high-performance optronic sensors, easy integration in the ship's combat system, and a human-machine interface that allows for optimized operation of its high-definition imaging functions.

Using modern non-penetrating technology for the subs' pressure hulls, Sagem's optronic masts feature a compact design and highly integrated multi-sensor architecture. They meet the Swedish navy's most demanding stealthiness requirements. They are compatible with a full range of electromagnetic antenna (GPS, ESM, early warning and communication), it includes a high-definition thermal imager as well as a high-definition camera, and can simultaneously accommodate a low-light level, anti-blooming camera and a laser range finder.

Series 30 masts' four optronic sensors, which can be used simultaneously to obtain panoramic scene captures in record time, are the fastest on the market. Known as the “Quick Look Round” feature, it enables panoramic or segment displays in separate, full resolution or compressed windows. This mode is available in addition to the conventional, live display of the different video channels.
