New Fire Control Radar for 7 French Navy frigates

The French Navy will be using seven Thales STIR-radars on their frigates for gun and missile fire control. Five radars will be installed in the French frigate program FTI, and two will be placed on board of the two FREDA-frigates.This all-weather fire control radar has superior stealth target tracking capabilities, even through severe clutter. The accuracy and reliability of the STIR is extraordinary high, even with multipath conditions. The first delivery is scheduled in the first half of 2020, and the following systems will be delivered in line with the shipbuilding program.

With this project, Thales will deliver the fire control radar STIR to the most advanced frigate of one of the world’s leading navies Paul de Ceuninck van Capelle, Sales Manager
