General“Hewhoseesthemost,andseesitbeforeanyoneelsedoes,hastheadvantage.”Thisaxiomholdsfornavalandanyothertypeofwarfare.Therefore,ThalesNavalNederland,keenlyawareofthedifferencesituationalawarenessmakes,offerstheLW08,ahigh-powered,coherentD-bandradarsystem,foruseonboardnavalvessels.
TheLW08isaradarsystemforlong-rangesurveillance,providingtargetindicationtoweaponcontrolsystems.Itmeetsallvitalrequirementsforanynavalsurveillancesystem:LW08presentsaclearpictureoftheenvironment;itdoesso,reliably,underanycircumstances;anditdoesitwithoutaddinggreatweighttothesuperstructureoftheship.TheaspectwhichdistinguishesLW08fromitscompetitorsisitswiderangeandsuperbaccuracy.Thesystemhasprovenitsworthtimeandtimeagain,operatinginvariousconfigurations.LW08performswithgreatfrequencyagilityoverawideband,duetoitssynthesizer-drivenTWTtransmitter.
Excellentperformanceundervariousclutterconditionsisensuredbythewidedynamicrangereceiverwithapplicationofdigitalvideoprocessing,supportedbycircularpolarization.Moreover,duetoitslightweightconstructionandhydraulicallycontrolledstabilizationplatform,thisantennacanbeinstalledatahighmastposition,therebyimprovingperformance.
