Radar, infrared and electro-optical fire control sensors providing crucial data for target acquisition, tracking and engagement with guns and/or missiles of all type of threats in naval operations.

Leveraging our expertise in Fire Control

Thales has more than a hundred years of fire control experience, starting with mechanical fire control in 1922, to the most advanced fire control radars for gun and missile fire control available today.
High precision

All Thales' fire control sensors are equipped with cutting-edge technology to detect and track all agile air and surface targets. From electro-optical sensors to combined radar and electro-optical sensors and missile guidance, Thales supports you in effective target engagements.
Integration

Our systems can be integrated with any combat management systems as well as naval gun and missiles systems. From small caliber to large caliber gun systems, short range "fire and forget" missiles and long range surface to air missiles, Thales has provided fire control for them all.

Making sure you hit the target

To protect their assets, Naval forces need to combine different sensors to detect, track and engage a large variety of threats, from low altitude to high altitude missiles. When a threat is detected, fast reactions and accuracy are critical. Naval Forces will use Fire Control Radars to provide highly accurate target location, speed, and movement data to guide weapons (guns, missiles, etc.).

Empowering commanders with superior situational awareness and response capability, Thales sensors make the crucial difference at sea. For any navy determined to protect its waters and uphold maritime security, Thales provides trusted surveillance and fire control excellence for today’s missions and tomorrow’s threats.

Thales’ technology—such as the cutting-edge STIR and MIRADOR systems—integrates seamlessly with any combat management system, giving naval crews accurate, real-time detection and tracking across all conditions, day or night. Advanced radar and electro-optical modules work together, offering rapid threat classification and precise weapon guidance, even in the face of electronic countermeasures.

STIR 1.2 EO Mk2 is the latest system for gun and missile fire control. The superior stealth target tracking capabilities ensure optimal performance in demanding littoral environments. Dual band radar and a full EO suite provide excellent ECCM performance.

MIRADOR Mk2 is a compact, fast Electro-Optical observation and tracking system. It provides target tracking data of highly manoeuvring air and surface targets for precise weapon systems fire control. The digital EO suite includes an IR camera, an HDTV zoom camera, an optional low-light near infrared camera, and an eye-safe Laser Range Finder.

PHAROS is the Multi Target Tracking Radar for gun and missile control. Its electronic beam steering capability enables Multiple Target Tracking and integrated Guided Ammunition control. PHAROS controls any medium caliber type gun, ranging from 30 mm to 76 mm. In combination with Guided Ammunition, PHAROS provides an excellent and highly cost effective Anti-Ship Missile Defence capability. PHAROS also provides defence against small, fast moving and maneuvering surface targets as well as UAS'.

CWITX is a solid state scalable and versatile Continuous Wave Illumination transmitter for missile guidance support. CWITX supports all X-band semi-active missile guidance modes and uplink protocols of the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile and Standard Misisile-2. GaN solid state transmitters offer extremely high reliability and graceful degradation. The small footprint allows easy installation and replacements of existing non-solid state transmitters.
