 by Richard Tomkins Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UPI) Feb 24, 2015
A proposed self-contained coastal battery system that fires two types of missiles has been unveiled at an international defense exhibition. The proposed system is from Siham Al Khaleej Technology of the United Arab Emirates, European missile systems company MBDA, and GEM elettronica of Italy. The system, displayed at the International Defense Exhibition and Conference in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The system, which provides maritime surveillance as well as defense capabilities, fires MBDA's Marte MK2/N missile for targets at a distance of as much as 21 miles and MBDA's Marte ER for targets at extended range. Siham Al Khaleej Technology, principle contractor for the system, said a data link can connect the system with an upper level command and control. The coastal defense system features the Coastal Battery RemMote Station (CBRS 100-MD), of GEM, which is a shelter-contained system and which can be equipped with a TV/IIR capability. The system was jointly developed under an agreement signed by the three companies last year.
