Missile Seeker Systems / SPECTARIS / RF and Hybrid Surface-Strike Seekers
An active RF and RF+IIR hybrid seeker family for cruise missiles engaging stationary and moving ground or maritime surface targets.
The family supports surface-to-surface cruise missiles launched from ships, submarines, land systems, and airborne platforms.
Surface-Strike Applications
Artillerie Inrichtingen Armaments BV presents SPECTARIS ARH-SS, an active RF and RF+IIR hybrid seeker family developed for surface-to-surface cruise-missile programs.
The family supports cruise missiles launched from ships, submarines, land systems, and airborne platforms for engagement of stationary or moving ground and maritime surface targets.
Subsystem Profile
SPECTARIS ARH-SS can be supplied as an active RF seeker or as an RF+IIR hybrid seeker. The hybrid configuration combines RF sensing with an imaging-infrared channel according to contracted mission and target-set requirements.
The published profile includes long-range acquisition and long-duration operation compatible with cruise-missile missions, supporting target acquisition and homing after extended missile transit.
The family supports homing on stationary and moving ground or maritime surface targets, including in-shore platforms and ships. Final target classes and engagement envelopes remain program-specific.
ECCM supports operation in contested electromagnetic environments. Low observability is a published integration characteristic. Specific techniques, waveforms, bands, signatures, and performance values remain controlled program information.
Full-System Engineering
The published launch scope covers ships, submarines, coastal-defence and other land systems, UAVs, and aircraft. Seeker integration is completed with the selected cruise missile; launcher and platform compatibility are established at full-system level.
Integration covers the seeker-to-missile mechanical envelope, radome or sensor window, electrical power, databus, guidance and autopilot interfaces, software, thermal management, and electromagnetic compatibility.
