MASS - Multi Ammunition Softkill System. A fully computerized countermeasures system, it is interfaced to the ship’s sensors and protects against attacks by advanced, sensor-guided missiles by launching airborne decoys.

OBS

Fully automatic, MASS offers significant tactical, operational, and logistical advantages, and can be installed on any type of ship. It can be integrated into all naval command and control systems, but can also operate in a stand-alone mode. MASS significantly enhances ship survivability through speed of response and the ability to put the required multi-purpose decoy rounds in the precise position necessary for optimum defence.

CONT

The Fluid Science Laboratory(FSL) is a multi-user research capability to study dynamic phenomena of fluid media in the absence of gravitational forces. FSL occupies one ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack]. For facility users, the most significant FSL element is the Facility Core Element that houses the central experiment module, the optical diagnostics module and the standardised Experiment Containers(ECs).... The FSL can be operated in fully automatic or semi-automatic modes by the flight crew, or in a remote-control mode from the ground(telescience).

OBS

Record 5 1983-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Air Navigation Aids
OBS

Automatic decoding carries out the process of active decoding on all targets continually, storing in digital form all the mode and code data, together with positional data. Using modern fast p. p. i. display techniques this data can be converted into alpha-numeric form and other symbols for direct display upon the p. p. i. screen, the position of the data being associated with the position symbol of the relevant target. By this means a fully integrated primary and secondary radar system can be produced.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Aides à la navigation aérienne
OBS

Dans ce cas, les réponses de toutes les cibles sont décodées simultanément et visualisées sur l'écran de contrôle sous forme d'une étiquette donnant en clair l'indicatif de l'avion, ainsi que son niveau de vol.
