Island Air Defence: Challenges, Novel Surveillance Concepts and Advanced Rada...Ashwin Samales
By Yeo Siew Yam, Yeo Jiunn Wah and Henry Yip
The present-day air defence surveillance system is designed to detect threats originating from external airspace in a conventional military conflict, such as one involving multiple fast-flying fighters, helicopters and missiles. However, the operational environment has evolved to be far more challenging and complex over the past decade, with the emergence of stealthier targets that make better use of terrain to avoid detection. At the same time, there is always a desire to see further than the enemy and to obtain more information about the target. This paper aims to identify the inadequacies of the present-day air defence radar system and to propose some novel sensor solutions which include Ultra High Frequency/ Very High Frequency radar, bi-static/multi-static and passive radar, elevated sensors, High Frequency surface wave radar and non-cooperative target recognition techniques. The advantages, challenges and cost effectiveness of these advanced techniques will be analysed to develop a picture of future surveillance systems.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

OVERVIEW
May 24th 2018, the United Kingdom’s Secretary of State for Defence Gavin Williamson announced at
the RUSI Sea Power Conference in London, that the Sea Ceptor Missile System (cost: £850m) has
become an active part of the Royal Navy.
What is the Sea Ceptor? It is a world-class missile system made by MBDA UK that protects the Royal
Navy’s new aircraft carriers.
MBDA, CAMM manufacturer, is a multi-national company with offices in France, Germany, Italy, Spain,
the U.K., Australia, and the U.S. It is truly an European company as it is a joint-venture between the
aerospace giants, Airbus (France) (37.5%), BAE Systems (United Kingdom) (37.5%), and Leonardo
(Italy) (25%).

MBDA designs and manufactures missiles and missile systems for a range of operational needs for
land, sea, and air. They offer 45 operational missile systems and countermeasure products as well as
more than 15 devices which are still being developed.
The Sea Ceptor is the naval variant in the Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAMM) programme,
designed to provide the next generation of anti-air guided weapons for land, sea and airborne
operations. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with existing command and control (C2) and sensors
(radars etc) facilities.
Developed and manufactured by MBDA UK under the umbrella of the company’s Portfolio Management
Agreement with the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the missile will be the core component of the Future
Local Area Air Defence System (FLAADS), a requirement for both land and naval environments,
replacing Rapier FSC and Seawolf.

HISTORY
For over a decade, MBDA UK has been developing its own surface-to-air missiles by using common
elements from other systems in its portfolio.
The CAMM project began in 2004 when the UK’s MoD awarded a £10 million Technology Development
programme (TDP) to MBDA through the Joint Sensor and Engagement Networks Integrated Project
Team. This first phase included carry-on studies related to the Soft Vertical Launch system, a dual band
two-way datalink, an active RF Seeker, and open systems architecture to ensure compatibility with a
wide range of search and acquisition radars and command and control systems.
The second phase (2008) costing £15 million , was committed to maturing the RF Seeker with trials
completed on a QinetiQ test aircraft (a Hawker Siddeley HS-780 Andover C1) at Boscombe Down
(United Kingdom). This stage helped out to fulfil the FLAADS’ “business case”.
In 2008, the Complex Weapons Portfolio approach was announced, with FLAADS being one of the
pillars of the portfolio to be completed.
In 2009, MBDA UK presented its first prototype to its clients. In order to reduce the development costs,
the CAMM system is based on a modular architecture with common subsystems (self-steering, data
link, actuator, proximity fuse...). The demonstrator took over existing subsystems, such as the Datalink
(radar data sharing) and the C2 (Command and Control) concept and the propulsion of the ASRAAM
(Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile) developed by MBDA.
In 2011, MBDA announced the Sea Ceptor Missile System, the navy variant of the FLAADS. Tests were
carried out in 2011 from a truck to get exploitable data for the FLAADS-Land programme.

ANALYSIS
CAMM – Sea Ceptor
With minimal logistical support and maintenance required, MBDA’s Sea Ceptor Air Defence Weapons
System is an appealing choice to navies.
Figure 3: MBDA’s Sea Ceptor
Source: MBDA
In 2017, Sea Ceptor successfully completed its firing trials from HMS Argyll. It will eventually replace
the VL Sea Wolf on the U.K. Royal Navy’s Type 23s. In 2016, the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence
(MoD) awarded MBDA a £100 million contract for Sea Ceptor to be integrated into the Royal Navy’s
new class of frigate, the Type 26 Global Combat Ship. Sea Ceptor differs from its predecessor Sea Wolf
thanks to its added capability of protecting not only the warship, but also nearby vessels. Former U.K.
Minister for Defence Procurement, Harriett Baldwin, stated that Sea Ceptor would protect British
interests against known and unknown threats. She went on to further state that Sea Ceptor will be used
by the Royal Navy’s new Type 26 frigates, that are tasked to keep their nuclear deterrent submarines
and two new aircraft carriers safe during operations.
Sea Ceptor is an all-weather, active RF seeker, and air defence weapons system, that can be retrofitted
on a range of platforms such as 50m OPVs, frigates, and destroyers. The system can fire simultaneously
multiple targets with a missile called the Common Anti-air Modular Missile (CAMM). CAMM has a
powerful rocket motor allowing to propel missiles double the range of that of Sea Wolf, and has an active
radar seeker to engage targets, thus eliminating the need for target illuminators.
The system is first of all fitted with a compact launch system with soft vertical launch technology,
enabling a 360-degree coverage. This achieves a minimum launch signature, and a two-way datalink
between the missile and launcher. Secondly, it is equipped with a gas generator which ejects the missile
from its canister. This device has many effects: it conserves the rocket motor’s energy to power the
intercept, reduces the minimum intercept range, limites stress on the launch platform, reduces
maintenance and costs, and eliminates management of the hot gas efflux on-board. Sea Ceptor
9. OIDA Strategic Intelligence S.A.S.U - Porte de l’Arenas, Hall C - CS13326 - 455, Promenade des Anglais - 06206 Nice Cedex 3 - France
operates on the SYLVER and Mk41 launchers using a quad-pack configuration (various flexible canister
configurations are available). Over the past five years, MBDA has worked with Lockheed Martin to
develop a lightweight version of the MK41 launcher for CAMM. A certificate was signed for a lightweight
launcher called ExLS, which is intended for smaller vessels. The launcher allows a soft launch by using
compressed air, and capable to fire the main missile motor not on board.
Figure 4: MBDA’s CAMM
Source: Annual Reports, Company Website, Primary and Secondary Research OIDA Strategic Intelligence
Sea Ceptor can target any surveillance sensor system. With its supersonic speed and range in excess
of 25 km, it has broad target settings (high-speed, manoeuvring, or low signature targets), and also the
ability to engage small naval vessels, combat aircrafts, UAVs, and future threats from new generation
supersonic anti-ship missiles. In terms of command and control, the system can be integrated with new
and existing naval combat systems, and configured to operate as an independent air defence capability,
or as an integrated capability within a command and control architecture hosted on the vessel’s combat
management system.
Sea Ceptor is capable of defending an area of 500 square miles with the ability to protect the host and
nearby vessels from varied sources of attack. Former MBDA U.K. Managing Director, Dave Armstrong,
succinctly said that: “Naval air defence is more critical than ever given the growing capability of airborne
threats. CAMM’s operational flexibility and ease of integration, both as retrofit or on a new build, combine
to offer unrivalled product advantages.”
Recently, the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence announced Sea Ceptor had been developed and
manufactured through contracts worth around £850 million. This announcement is a severe failure for
the Portfolio Management Agreement, through which the U.K. MoD and MBDA continue to operate.
10. OIDA Strategic Intelligence S.A.S.U - Porte de l’Arenas, Hall C - CS13326 - 455, Promenade des Anglais - 06206 Nice Cedex 3 - France
The CAMM programme is today estimated at £1.573 billion only taking into account recent contracts
between 2012 and 2018, and not between 2005 and 2012. This leads to think the programme has been
through cost overruns due to a lack of competent workforce within the British missile industry.

Sea Ceptor’s Prospective Customers
International customers are choosing CAMM for their future air defence capabilities. 2014 was a
successful year for Sea Ceptor with two navies selecting the Air Defence Weapons System for their
vessels. In May 2014, the New Zealand Ministry of Defence and MBDA signed a contract for Sea
Ceptor to be integrated into the New Zealand Navy’s ANZAC Frigate Systems Upgrade (FSU) project.
In November 2014, MBDA announced that Brazil selected Sea Ceptor for its next generation Tamandaré
class corvettes. Finally, the Republic of Chile has recently selected Sea Ceptor for its Type-23 frigate.
Sea Ceptor’s popularity has grown since then, with the Spanish Directorate of Armament and Material
approving in December 2017 to conduct a technological risk reduction study (worth €9.5 million) to
analyse the feasibility of integrating Sea Ceptor onto future F-110 frigates.

2022 Brazil Tamandaré
Brazilian Navy has recently issued an international RFI for the
Tamandaré-class corvettes. It is unclear if the Brazilian Navy will
respect its choice made in 2014, to select MBDA’s Sea Ceptor to
provide for local area air defence for its next generation Tamandaré
class corvettes.
2023 Finland Squadron 2020
The Squadron 2020 project designed by Rauma Marine
Constructions (RMC), aims to build four corvettes with potentially
the Sea Ceptor. MBDA’s missile is competing against Raytheon’s
ESSM and IAI’s Barak-8 surface-to-air missile.
2023 India SRSAM
MBDA has partnered with DRDO and acts as a strategic and key
partner. The recent Joint Venture L&T MBDA is proposing two
solutions based upon either the VL Mica (hot launch) or the
SeaCeptor (soft launch) for the 10 required SRSAM systems, in
which six will be dedicated to the 6 stealthy next generation missile
vessels (NGMVs).
2023 Spain F-110 Frigate
Late 2017, DGAM awarded a €9.5m contract to MBDA España for
risk reduction related to the integration of the SeaCeptor on board
new F-110 frigates. MBDA’s system is competing against
Raytheon’s RIM-162 ESSM Block 2 for equipping frigates.

Sea Ceptor may also be an option for Finland and its four Squadron 2020 corvettes. Another competitor
for this market is Raytheon’s RIM-162 ESSM (Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile). Raytheon has expanded
its missile’s capability from sea-based to a ground-based air defence environment.
Italy’s position is interesting. Officially, CAMM-ER will replace only the Spada system for the Italian Air-
Force and the Skyguard system for the Italian Army. However, it is understood that CAMM-ER may also
replace some time soon the Albatross system for the Italian Navy in order to maintain a standardisation
in procurement already there.
CAMM – FLAADS/Sky Sabre
The UK Royal Artillery equivalent is Land Ceptor or Sky Sabre. CAMM will soon replace the British
Army’s Rapier ground-based air defence system. The benefits for the U.K. of operating a common
missile are multiple, such as significant cost benefits throughout the lifecycle of the systems,
development, procurement, support costs, and sharing a common stockpile.
Compared to Rapier, Land Ceptor has over triple the range (25 km+) and is able to intercept the most
challenging targets in any weather conditions, including cruise missiles and precision guided munitions.
Land Ceptor made its debut at DSEI 2017 and has been undergoing trials for the British Army. The
system has a substantially revised design to initial development prototypes and incorporates numerous
new features. It was decided to use the in-service HX-77 as the base vehicle for Land Ceptor, enabling
the capabilities of the system to be expanded, whilst minimising the overall fleet size.
12. OIDA Strategic Intelligence S.A.S.U - Porte de l’Arenas, Hall C - CS13326 - 455, Promenade des Anglais - 06206 Nice Cedex 3 - France
According to MBDA UK, a key new feature of the new design is the modular launcher. It features a
palletised loading module enabling rapid munition reload of the magazine, and a self-
mounting/dismounting capability allowing for a wider range of air/sea/rail transport options and for
dismounted operations in fixed/semi-fixed locations. A common interface module means the launcher
can be easily integrated onto a wide range of vehicles.
Systems provide flexibility for the launcher to act as an independent fire unit, as well as in a networked
battery configuration.

With the engagement of Beyond Visual Range (BVR) targets possible through the use of mid-course
guidance and radar updates, it heralds a step-change to the current GBAD system.
This new GBAD system Sky Sabre will be constituted by:
• The Modular, Integrated C4I Air & Missile Defense System (MIC4AD), Israeli Rafael;
• The Giraffe AMB radar, Swedish Saab:
• The Land Ceptor missile, MBDA UK;
• The RMMV/MAN HX77 Heavy Utility Truck.
The GBAD system Sky Sabre is also benefiting from already used equipment. The 16th Regiment Royal
Artillery (RA) is already using Giraffe AMB radar from the Swedish maker Saab, which may help the
future transition from Rapier.
Sea Ceptor costs may have been underestimated. Indeed, recent announcements estimate Land Ceptor
to cost £723 million. Fourteen systems are to be acquired by the U.K.’s Royal Army.

FLAADS/CAMM-ER Prospective Customers
Land Ceptor is MBDA’s launch configuration of the Enhanced Modular Air Defence Solutions (EMADS)
stable.
This increased payload could also be used to further the extended range CAMM-ER interceptor and
provide air defence out to 40km+ for customers who require greater range.
EMADS brings together best-of-breed systems and technologies from across MBDA’s European base
to save time, development costs and provide a flexible system for air defence provision.
Italy’s current in-service SPADA should be replaced by the CAMM-ER based system.

Focus on the CAMM-ER programme
MBDA Italia is in charge of the development of CAMM-ER for the Italian Air-Force and the Italian Army. Italy joined the CAMM
Air-Defense Missile Program in 2017.
MBDA Italia awarded the development contract for the CAMM-ER propulsion to Avio, with a planned trial to take place in 2019.
The Italian MoD authorized last year funding for the development and acquisition of the CAMM-ER, currently being developed
by MBDA Italia.
The €95 million funding is planned as followed:
• 2017: €5 million
• 2018: €15 million
• 2019: €30 million
• 2020: €20 million
• 2021: €25 million
The CAMM-ER will be compatible with the Rheinmetall Italia 3D X-Band Search radar (X-TAR 3D) X-TAR 3D and the Posto
Comando Modulo di Ingaggio (PCMI) Forza NEC, especially for the Italian Army. It will also be compatible with the Leonardo
Kronos-Land AESA Search radar and the SIRUS Command and Control system for the Italian Air Force.
The Italian MoD chose this SHORAD to replace the ASPIDE system by 2021, and to avoid a capacity gap.
Italy’s requirements:
An all-weather RF active seeker;
• A “soft launch” type launching system (reduce physical protection on the launching systems and limit impact on the
ground);
• Auto-destructive capacity in flight from the Command and Control (C2);

Focus on Team Complex Weapons (Team CW)
The Team Complex Weapon Framework Agreement (TCW) defines an approach to delivering
the UK’s Complex Weapons (CW) requirements in an affordable manner. This value for money
proposition also ensures a viable industrial capacity between MBDA UK, Thales UK, QinetiQ
and Roxel.
Pressure on defence spending has driven innovation in cost reduction and TCW might be a
solution to conduct defence programmes until the end while safely funding them.
The MoD stated within the framework of the Defence Industrial Strategy published at the end
of 2005, the establishment of a long-term partnership in the British missile industry in order to
maintain industrial skills.
Figure 6: How does TWC reduce costs?
Source: Atkins Limited
With annual funding of £700 million per year, the programme includes investment of around
£7 billion in the complex weapons sector. The TCW is expected to generate £1.2bn in savings
over 10 years from 2010 and avoid dispersion of MoD budgets.
Other contenders for Italian armed forces were :
• AMRAAM/NASAMS from Kongsberg/Raytheon (eliminated due to the impossibility to self-destruct and its lack of range)
• VL MICA from MBDA France (eliminated by its lack of range)
• ASTER 15 from MBDA (eliminated by its lack of range)
• IRIS-T from Diehl (eliminated by its Infra Red Imaging System and its lack of range)
All these missile systems were not “soft launch” types.

An innovative approach to the MOD’s Complex Weapons pipeline has been based on a
Partnered Portfolio Management Agreement with MBDA UK Ltd, which focuses on the
16. OIDA Strategic Intelligence S.A.S.U - Porte de l’Arenas, Hall C - CS13326 - 455, Promenade des Anglais - 06206 Nice Cedex 3 - France
development of families of weapons utilising the principles of commonality, modularity and re-
use. Linkages between weapons in a portfolio should reduce overall costs.
Complex weapons are considered tactical weapons that rely on guidance from systems to
achieve precision effects. They fall into five categories:
• air-to-air,
• air defence,
• air-to-surface,
• anti-ship,
• surface-to-surface.
It should be noted that the Complex Weapons Programme does not include torpedoes, non-
U.K. sourced missile systems or some legacy systems.

2005 Defence Industrial Strategy launched
2006
Team Complex Weapons (MBDA, Thales, Roxel, QinetiQ) formed and announced at Farnborough International
Air Show.
2008
Testing the Team CW Principles through an Assessment Phase in June 2008, the Ministry of Defence awarded
the first element of a £250 million Assessment Phase to test the Team CW approach towards the delivery of
future Complex Weapons capability. The Assessment Phase (AP) was implemented through separate enabling
contracts with MBDA (UK) Ltd and Thales UK for the six programmes contained within it, and a legally-binding
Teaming Agreement to refine and test the Team CW approach/business Model. Subsequent elements of the AP
were approved during 2009.
2010
In March, the MoD signed a Portfolio Management Agreement (Interim), the PMA-I, with MBDA following the
conclusion of the Assessment Phase, which had demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of the Team CW
approach. Under the agreement, the MoD and MBDA UK signed a Through Life Enabling Contract (TLEC) with
its first package of work worth £330 million for the development and manufacture of two of the six Team CW
launch projects and to conduct further assessment work on two projects.

Building on lessons learned through operation of the Portfolio Management Agreement (Interim), an updated
agreement between UK MOD and MBDA now called the “Portfolio Management Agreement” was signed on the
17th July 2013.

According to the 2017 Defence Equipment Plan, only £0.68 billion has been saved to date,
however a further £0.67bn is anticipated from contracts already in place that are yet to be
announced. The estimated savings (£1.2bn-1.3bn) come from netting off the notional
additional costs of single-source procurement from the benefits of the extant procurement
strategy.

However as previously said, CAMM’s programmes costs may have been underestimated. Recent
announcements do not prove the complete effectiveness in cost saving.
