Combat direction system guides the way for LCF frigates
Article Abstract:
The Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) has executed the first attempts to construct the SEWACO XI combat direction system (CDS) for its next-generation air-defense and command (LCF) De Zeven Provincien-class frigates. A deal for the CDS infrastructure equipment for the four 6,200-ton ships, valued at $73 million, was entered into with Signaal on May 27, 1998. RNLN's Center for the Automation of Weapons and Command Systems (CAWCS) in Den Helder Naval Base is preparing for SEWACO XI software development which will be accelerated in August 1998. The deal with Signaal includes 96 advanced multifunction operator consoles and 152 desktop workstations.
