CAELOR FC-3D


CAELOR Air Defence Systems FC-3D
Mobile 3D sensor and
fire-control node

A mobile air and missile defence fire-control system integrating 3D search, radar and electro-optical tracking, threat evaluation and weapon assignment.

3D search radar
Radar + EO tracking
Local air picture
Gun + missile control

Integrated air-defence sensor and control node

FC-3D detects, tracks and evaluates contemporary aerial threats and supports assignment of connected gun- or missile-based effectors.

01

Acquire

The 3D search radar supplies range, azimuth and elevation data for surveillance and target acquisition.

02

Track

Tracking radar and electro-optical sensors support automatic precision tracking and engagement-quality data.

03

Evaluate

Consolidated sensor information creates a local air picture for awareness and automated threat evaluation.

04

Assign

Weapon assignment supports compatible gun-based VSHORAD and missile-launching SHORAD effectors.

Sensor and tracking architecture

The trailer-mounted system combines a 3D search radar with an integrated tracking platform containing tracking radar and electro-optical sensors. Selected tracks are transferred to the tracking platform for automatic precision tracking.

Sensor information is consolidated into a local air picture for operator awareness, threat evaluation and coordinated effector assignment. The system can also coordinate with higher-echelon command-and-control units.

Threat evaluation and weapon assignment

CAELOR FC-3D evaluates detected tracks and supports assignment of a suitable connected air-defence weapon. It is designed to control both gun-based very-short-range and missile-launching short-range effectors from a common mobile node.

Final engagement authority, automation level and rules-of-engagement implementation are configured for the customer’s command structure and applicable operational doctrine.
