US Navy destroyer uses Thales’ radar for SM-3 Launch on Remote test


The US Navy’s destroyer USS Paul Ignatius has conducted a Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) ‘Launch on Remote’ test using data from Thales’ SMART-L Naval Multi-Mission (SMART-L MM/N) radar.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile ship also used the track data from the long-range surveillance radar to guide the SM-3 interceptor to destroy a non-separating ballistic missile in space.

This activity was conducted during the US-led military Missile Defence exercise ‘At Sea Demo/Formidable Shield 2021 (ASD/FS21)’.

Installed on the Royal Netherlands Navy’s De Zeven Provinciën-class air defence and command frigate ‘HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën’, the SMART-L MM/N surveillance radar autonomously detected and tracked the ballistic missile.

ASD/FS21 exercise is an integrated air and missile defence (IAMD) drill on the Hebrides test range in the Western Isles of Scotland.

It is organised by the US Navy’s Sixth Fleet and the Maritime Theater Missile Defence Forum.

The SMART-L MM/N long range surveillance radar successfully tracked the ballistic missile for more than five minutes as it reached speeds of 3km/s and an altitude of more than 300km.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer received the tracking data through the Nato communications network.

Major fire on board Zr.Ms. Zeeland extinguished


On board patrol ship Zr.Ms. Zeeland burned for an hour and a half last night. It would have been a big fire. No one was on board the ship and no one was injured during the extinguishing operation.

Around half past two in the morning the fire broke out on the Zeeland. The Holland- class patrol ship was berthed in Dock VI of the Material Maintenance Directorate (DMI). The fire is said to have started in electrical instrument room 2, but that information has not yet been confirmed.


Half an hour after the first report of 01:18 a.m., the fire brigade scaled up to "very large fire", as can be read on Alarmerings.nl, among others. According to the same website, the fire brigade took action with two tanker syringes and the help of corps from Breezand was called in. Two ambulances were also sent.

FDI frigate to join navy in early 2025

The official launch of Kimon, the first of the three defense and intervention frigates (FDIs) ordered by the Hellenic Navy, at the French port of Lorient Wednesday has been welcomed by the Ministry of Defense as a sign that the shipbuilding program by the Naval Group may be completed ahead of schedule.

The vessel’s technical launch took place last Thursday. Shakedown cruises that will test the ship’s performance will take place in 2024 and Kimon will enter service early in 2025. At this moment, the frigate Nearchos is due to enter service in autumn 2025 and the Phormion in 2026.
