Type	Fire-Control
Frequency	ku band

CEROS 200 is a radar and optronic tracking fire control director designed by SAAB for use on naval ships. When interfaced to modern missile or gun systems it provides excellent defence against any modern threat including advanced sea skimming missiles or asymmetric surface threats in littoral environments.

Features

The radar design incorporates many Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM) features:

• Very low antenna side lobes
• Very wide bandwidth
• A large number of transmit frequencies
• Random selection of frequency
• Lock on jam, track on jam

Accuracy

The CEROS 200 director provide highly accurate 3D tracking. This enables the operator to deal with advanced air and surface threats.

Using modern ammunition, every round is a HIT, even in difficult situations.

FCS firing accuracy as measured by an independent agency in a range of conditions:

Within 1 mile: 36%

1–2 miles: 23%

2–4 miles: 19%

4–6 miles: 22%
