Terma has secured new contracts in Indonesia and will provide C-Guard Decoy Launching Systems to the Indonesian Navy for one Multi-Role Light Frigate (MRLF) and two additional KCR-60 Fast Attack Crafts. The latter follows the 2019 contract for the delivery of a complete C-Series Combat Suite (including C-Flex, SCANTER and C-Fire) for the new KCR-60 vessels being built by PT PAL.
Terma is proud supplier of C-Guard systems across Asia-Pacific on a big variety of vessels from Offshore Patrol Vessels to Frigates in countries such as Australia, Thailand, Philippines, Brunei, and Indonesia. The C-Guard footprint is now enhanced even more in Indonesia with the supply of C-Guard launchers for additional KCR-60 vessels and for one of Indonesian Navy’s Multi-Role Light Frigates (MRLF).
“Our C-Guard Decoy Launching System is already installed and deployed onboard several of the Indonesian Navy’s vessels – including Fast Attack Crafts, Frigates and Corvettes. We are pleased to supply and support the Indonesian Navy with additional C-Guard equipment creating greater commonality across their fleet and offering a unique defense solution for both above and underwater threats, alongside getting additional C-Guard systems deployed in Indonesia, the end-user is now fully trained to independently perform base maintenance operations, which allows for higher system availability and cost-effectiveness for new and future deployments, also with an ease of maintenance in focus”.
Anupam Narain Mathur, Vice President for Asia Pacific in Terma
Terma has more than 150 active C-Guard systems worldwide
Terma’s C-Guard decoy launching system provide 360° coverage and will effectively counter advanced threats like small range gate Radio Frequency (RF) missiles, imaging Infra-Red (IR) seekers missiles, and advanced next generation torpedoes. Defense against multiple missiles and torpedoes requires fast response and utilization of advanced tactics supporting the latest in decoy technologies.
C-Guard relies on combat proven 130 mm NATO decoys and a proven mechanical launcher design without moving parts. The DL-6T launchers are fitted with six tubes, two in each of the firing angles 20°, 40°, and 135° (port and starboard side) in the azimuth plane in relation to the sailing direction. The DL-12T launchers are fitted with 12 tubes, three in each of the firing angles 10°, 40°, 60°and 135°. Both the DL-6T and the DL-12T launcher tubes are fitted with a Round Identification System (RIS).
