Defence's current efforts to clean the radar shield Arthur dust and sand could have been avoided if the defense had chosen a radar type from the Danish manufacturer Weibel Scientific, who wonder about the defense unwillingness to cooperate. By Torben container van R. Simonsen 6 2009 at. 07:18
Defence Logistics Organization (FMT) is currently engaged in a major cleaning of missile warning system Arthur among others stationed at Camp Bastian in Afghanistan. The system performs today a vital task for the residents of Camp Bastian.
Arthur radar is able to detect when a missile launched from, and can calculate where it will land. In this way, the Danish camp gain vital seconds in which the impact point may be cleared of personnel.
The cleaning means that the posted radar systems in turn are at home in Denmark for rough housecleaning of desert dust, as previously described in ing.dk are able to get in anywhere.
"I container van find that the risk appetite in the Army for our products is much less than the risk appetite is towards foreign products," says CEO. in Weibel Scientific Peder Pedersen. Photo: Weibel
"We have made our radar, so it can stand in the desert container van year after year without the need to have service. It is completely sealed, so there is nothing that can come into it. U.S. uses it to test aircraft and missiles in the desert states, and we have had radars standing for twenty years and they are still running, "he ing.dk / electronics. Not bought container van for desert
"Arthur was originally purchased as an acquisition radar that indicates shot deviations from rockets, artillery and mortars. The purchase was in the late 1990s and came into operational use in 2001. This means that the procurement process was long before anyone had thought the effort in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it happened container van after that threats had been at the time, "he said. U.S. Customers
"There is always a need for adaptation and integration of the product when you sell more complex systems like ours, and I find that risk appetite in defense of our products is much less than the risk appetite is towards foreign products. We provide lots of systems for NASA, U.S. Army and U.S. Navy, and the risk tolerance compared to our systems and get them integrated and tested on their platforms, "he said.
"Arthur was then evaluated according to the requirements document, which was made and it was rated as the best on the market at the time. FMT is baffled by the claim that we more or less had willfully avoided Weibel, as in other areas than Arthur has a good working relationship with the company. The defense has, among other measuring radars and radars to measure the muzzle velocity of some of our artillery - derived from Weibel, "says Flemming Diehl. Forward missiles
According to Peder Pedersen would otherwise be good logic in cooperation container van with Weibel on next generation defense solutions to protect against incoming missiles. For one is that only calculate a landing point and eliminate a launching pad, but more effective would it be if the incoming missile or grenade could be shot down before it reaches explode in camp. The kind of systems designated as C-RAM (Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar) and here Weibel in collaboration with a German company far with the development of C-RAM systems.
"There will be using a system that may Arthur, who can detect, which is being shot, and so will our radar very accurate could follow the missile container van or mortar that was fired into the camp and manage a system that you can shoot it down. It might be a missile to shoot out or some bullets, "says Peder Pedersen.
"Defence Commission finds that the establishment of a Danish capabilities in this area - in view of the ongoing development of concepts and systems of the C-RAM area - should only occur in the long term," container van says the Defence Commission's report.

When the radar system had to be purchased, it was on the basis of artillery and mortar attacks on civilians in Bosnia and here ARTHUR judged to be the best system to solve the issues that were identified at that time. Since then the situation container van has changed a lot and Arthur has for 3 years been deployed in the Afghan desert, in a bright container van environment.
But Thorkil Pedersen, if you can predict container van the situation 5-10 ahead, then you have a bright future in more business and you can also get the Danish defense budget, which correspond to the article mentioned American organizations, then
