4 INTRODUCTION Thales Defence & Security Systems GmbH has been supplying navigation radar systems for submarines for 50 years now. More than 130 systems have been installed on board of submarines spread all over the world. Before the year 2000 Thales was acting under the group name Thomson-CSF. In many navies the earlier radar systems from Thomson-CSF like Calypso 61-63, Calypso CIII, C IV as well as the Scanter MIL, Scanter 1024, THOR and SPHINX are still in operation and are a term for reliability. The know-how of 50 years and the experience of more than 130 installations lift Thales Defence & Security Systems GmbH to the leading position of system integrators for submarine navigation radars. The supply chain of Thales Defence & Security Systems GmbH starts with the consultation of the customer in terms of tactical features, levels of integration followed by the tailoring of the navigation system to the needs of the customer. The individual installations differ mainly in the following points: Type of radar sensor (tactical and/or navigational) Type of radar mast (defines location of transceivers) Level of integration (stand alone or part of MFCC) Interfaces to Combat System, Navigation Data Management Systems The actual generation of the Thales radar system PHOENICE is designed to support all existing types of radar masts and several levels of integration. Additionally, this PHOENICE navigation radar system is built on a heritage of systems that have been proven at sea and delivers unprecedented performance and flexibility in safe navigation. The PHOENICE radar system consists of core components which are used for all installations. The adaptation of the radar core to the special requirements of the submarine is managed by variation of the transceiver technology. Either the transceiver is installed wall mounted inside the pressure hull, in water tight housing below the radar mast or in a pressure tight pod in the upper end of the radar mast. Thales Defence & Security Systems GmbH provides a variation of pulse sensors in the range 4-25KW for navigational purpose. The output power reflects to the total length of the waveguide between the radar antenna and the pulse sensor. For tactical use Thales also provides a LPI FMCW sensor, which transmits with maximum output power of 1W. LPI stands for Low Probability of Intercept. The LPI sensor does not 4

5 operate with a short high power pulse; it transmits continuously with very low power in selectable levels 1 milliwatt to 1 watt. Due to the reduced output power in combination with single scan or sector scan Thales is proud to point out that this tactical sensor is nearly undetectable. LPI enables Seeing without being seen. THE NAME The northern pole star has historically been used for maritime navigation. It is the centre star of the constellation Lesser Bear. The ancient Greek called it PHOENICE, the Phoenician star. Like the Phoenician star steadily guided the seamen in the ancient world, thus the PHOENICE radar system today secures a modern navigation. There is a great diversity of opinion, as to why the Lesser Bear is called PHOENICE, and why those who observe it are said to navigate more exactly and carefully. These people do not seem to realize the reason for it being called Phoenice. Thales of Miletus (624 B.C B.C.), who searched into these matters carefully, and first called the constellation Bear, was by birth a Phoenician. Therefore all those in the Peloponnesus use the first Arctos; the Phoenicians, however, observe the one they received from its discoverer, and by watching it carefully, are thought to navigate more exactly, and suitably call it Phoenice from the race of its discoverer. (Indication of source: Gaius Julius Hyginus (64 B.C. 17 A.C.); De Astronomia liber secvnvs; II. Arctus Minor) SCOPE The actual generation of the Thales radar system PHOENICE is designed to support all existing types of radar masts and several levels of integration. Additionally, this PHOENICE navigation radar system is built on a heritage of systems that have been proven at sea and delivers unprecedented performance and flexibility in safe navigation. With the PHOENICE radar system Thales Defence & Security GmbH covers the full range of requirements placed on a modern, innovative radar system. The newly developed and tested drive units are optimally adapted to the established and the newly developed pressure tight radar antennas with the corresponding waveguides and rotary joints. Depending on the submarine class and on the customer requirement a customer can select from an extensive 5

6 portfolio of transceivers. All components are fully compatible with each other and give an excellent performance. The heart of the system, the PHOENICE server, offers best possible processing of incoming radar signals by the newly developed target tracking processor. With the help of the innovative PHOENICE client the evaluated data will be made available at any location on the ship. For the equipment of the submarine operation centres with appropriate consoles Thales has a corresponding product portfolio. To operate the radar system Thales provides a pressure tight bridge display, which permanently mounted on the bridge and connected via pressureresistant cable, allows safe navigation. In addition to the supply of hardware and software Thales provides not only a safe logistic, but also professional training for future system users.

7 THE SUBMARINE-TYPE DECIDES ON PHOENICE-CONFIGURATION: The radar system PHOENICE consists of an extensive product portfolio in order to guarantee an optimal performance for any submarine types. To combine the components accordingly three important issues are to be addressed in the run-up: Which type of mast has your submarine? Telescopic mast Non-telescopic mast Which transceiver location is requested? What kind of radar do you wish? Transceiver to be installed inside the pressure hull Transceiver to be installed outside the pressure hull / inside the radar mast Tactical radar Navigation radar Below the possible U-boat types and corresponding combinations of the PHOENICE product portfolio are shown: 7

These types support the non penetrating masts, which fully remain outside the pressure hull of the submarine. The transceivers are installed in the upper end of the radar mast. A pressure tight cable and hull penetrations connect the inboard electronics to the outboard transceivers. This configuration is the ideal combination of navigation and tactical radar.

20 PHOENICE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO - DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Pressure tight Radar Antennas Microstrip antenna MSA Radar antenna MSA 20

21 The Micro Strip hybrid Antenna (MSA) is intended for submarine applications and is designed to withstand high pressure. The horizontally polarized X-band micro strip hybrid antenna with a narrow horizontal beam width and low level side-lobes features a cosecant- squared vertical beam pattern (Csc 2 ). This Csc 2 feature allows the radar system to detect even air targets coming closer to the submarine. Basically, the antenna is constituted by a micro strip panel, a waveguide high power feeding network and a drive interface flange. The micro strip element is based on modified PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene). The antenna structure including the front is composed of dedicated syntactic foam ensuring no water absorption and high pressure capabilities. All parameters are nominal unless specified otherwise.

22 Slotted wave guide horn antenna P-RAX Radar antenna P-RAX The Thales Pressure tight Radar Antenna X-band P-RAX is designed to withstand high pressure and support surface surveillance for safe navigation. Small dimensions and low cost combined with the Thales PRIMOSS 250 antenna drive unit present a smart & tiny solution for submarine radar masts. The antenna has been designed to meet: - Horizontally polarized I band antenna, with a narrow horizontal beam width - Low level side lobes - Vertical beam pattern typically > 20 - End fed slotted array design - The antenna structure including the front shall be either composed of dedicated syntactic foam ensuring no water absorption and high pressure capabilities or of pressure tight housing with a rexolite removable front window. 22

24 Pressure tight radar drive units Primoss 250S The Thales pressure tight motor for submarine sensors PRIMOSS 250S is a small and light up mast drive unit for different submarine sensors with its diameter of 250 mm and a net height of 460 mm. PRIMOSS 250S presents the short variant of the PRIMOSS family. The bottom flange is mounted to the pressure tight mast system. Inside the mast the cables and the waveguide from the inboard units are connected to the antenna. On the upper side different flanges are available to carry all submarine radar antennas, such as Thales P-RAX and MSA, Thomson CSF APV-1J and Kelvin Hughes AZL. The drive unit PRIMOSS 250S is controlled by a wall-mounted PRIMOSS-Drive-Unit (PDU) inside the submarine. 24

26 Primoss 250L The PRIMOSS 250L differs from the short variant in the lower mast flange. The L-variant carries a pressure tight container for radar transceiver below the mast flange. The container is typically concealed inside the mast. Solely cable connections to the inboard units are required; this avoids the need for a long, lossy waveguide. The drive unit PRIMOSS 250L is controlled by a wall-mounted PRIMOSS-Drive-Unit (PDU) which is installed inside the submarine. 26

28 Various transceivers 1 W FMCW / LPI sensor for up mast installation For the best protection of the submarine Thales allows the combination of the 4 KW pulse sensor and the LPI-sensor in one radar system. The operator controls both sensors within the menu structure of his PHOENICE client. During non covered operation the submarine uses its pulse radar and is detectable for all ESM systems. The estimation to be detected when using the pulse radar mode under continuous operation may be right, but wrong if applying the Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) Radar System and the single scan mode as used by the Thales radar PHOENICE. Only a few turns of the antenna with a times lower transmitting power compared with the pulse radar is sufficient to have the full situation awareness around the submarine. This procedure lasts only a few seconds and the sub can decent again into safe water without being detected. The collected raw data will be processed by the system in sub-seconds and the tactical situation picture is available. So the commander is enabled to have the comprehensive situation awareness and a much better base to come to a decision. The installation of a FMCW / LPI sensor requires the additional installation of a System Interface Unit (SIU) inside the submarine. 28

30 Pulse sensor ( 4 KW ) for up mast installation The latest generation of either pulse- or FMCW transceiver has been designed for up mast installation. The 4KW transmitter is located in a pressure tight pod below the antenna motor. The sensor is connected via a pressure tight special cable to the System Interface Unit SIU. The SIU generates the DC power supply for the sensor and controls the up mast unit. The pulse sensor fulfils all requirements for an ARPA radar system, but furthermore it offers a number of tactical features, such as: - Sector transmission - Single scan transmission - Programmable PRF - Programmable pulse width (SP. MP and LP) - Programmable pseudo random PRF stagger The variation of transmission characteristics such as PL & PRF from mission to mission will complicate the reconnaissance by Electronic Support Measurement Systems. The combination with the LPI sensor in the up mast pod is possible. Both sensors share the waveguide to the antenna. Benefit of up mast installation: The up mast model supports the non penetrating masts, which fully remain outside the pressure hull of the submarine. The transceivers are installed in the upper end of the radar mast. A pressure tight cable and hull penetration connect the inboard electronics to the outboard transceivers. The up mast design results in a very short waveguide feeding. The waveguide length covers the distance between the radar antenna and the position of the transceivers in the pressure tight pod. This short wave guide reduces the losses significantly so that the output power for pulse transmitter has been reduced to less than 3kW. 30

32 Pulse sensor ( 25 KW ) for down mast installation The following part describes the possibility of down mast installation: Some older submarines are equipped with non telescopic, penetrating radar masts where the radar transceiver is located below the radar mast. The transceiver moves up and down with the mast. For this design of the mast Thales recommends the PHOENICE radar system with a down mast transceiver, inside the pressure hull of the submarine. A pressure tight housing carries both transceivers, either LPI and/or pulse transceiver. The housing is mounted below the radar mast and follows the mast movements. A cable loop connects the transceivers to the core components. The down mast pulse radar unit is controlled by the System Interface Unit SIU. See also description of SIU. 32

36 System Interface Unit (SIU) The pulse radar transceiver for up mast and down mast installation as well as the LPI transceiver are controlled by the System Interface Unit (SIU). The transceiver for wall mounted installation is integrated in the SIU housing; therefore no further equipment is required. 36

38 PHOENICE Radar Imaging & Data Server Radar video to LAN conversation The return of each emitted pulse from the transceiver (the sweep) is sampled and processed as a function of time. Each is converted to an 8 bit signal and transferred together with information on radar cell size and own unit data. The sweeps are collected into radar video packages which are formatted and if necessary compressed with a lossless algorithm by the Radar Imaging & Data Server (RDS) in preparation for transmission on the LAN. Simultaneously, the uncompressed radar video package is passed on to the tracking line for plot extraction and target tracking. Target tracker Inside the tracking line there are two main functionalities: the extractor and the tracker. The extractor analyses the incoming video, creates plots, and calculates plot properties such as area, intensity, centre of gravity etc. Based on a number of filters, plots are selected to be used for track initiation or track maintenance. The plot filters include selection criteria on video level, plot area, plot intensity, and a comparison with the actual clutter environment. Plots, which are passed on to the tracker, can be made available as output data if required. Aids to navigation e.g. buoys (reference tracks) are tracked using specially adapted algorithms. The interface to the tracker allows the operator to initiate a track manually, to delete an existing track and to move a track to a new position (manual guidance of a track). Manually as well as automatically initiated tracks are updated automatically. The primary output of the tracking line is target track data and the accompanying status information. 38

39 Control & monitoring The control of a limited RDS configuration setup is restricted to maintainers and is password protected. Full control of the RDS parameters etc. is available through a password protected application and shall be available to properly trained personnel only. General The RDS hardware shall be supplied with 220 VDC stabilized or 115VAC 1 phase ship s power. The system power supply is of a wide range AC/DC input type. Multi purpose consoles Thales offers several individual solutions for consoles: Large Display Unit (LDU) 39

40 The Large Display Unit (LDU) is a new developed unit to display all applications of the PHOENICE radar systems. The strategy of the LDU is to host all processors for radar applications. All electronic boards will be in a ruggedized standard format and mounted in a 19 processor rack. Design goal is the use of common CPU board types to ease the spare part requirements for the radar, WECDIS and ECDIS units. The LDU shall provide the power supply and the cooling for all applications. The installation effort and the space requirements shall be reduced significantly in comparison to conventional installation. All cables between the applications remain inside the LDU. Common environmental resistance for EMC, shock, acoustics and climate will be achieved. The LDU contains an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for power provision without dropouts 1 sec. With the UPS, the LDU complies with STANAG Compact Multi-Purpose Console The Compact Multi-Purpose Console (CMPC) provides a standard Human Computer Interface (HCI) and electronics for operators to use on radar applications. The design provides modular processing and HCI architectures using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology. Use of COTS components and technology has resulted in an innovative and affordable CMPC product without comprising ruggedization and functionality. 40

41 Pressure tight Bridge Display & Video Switch & Pressure tight TrackBall Pressure tight Bridge Display Thales Defence & Security Systems offers a Pressure tight Bridge Display (PBD), which is designed to operate the radar system and to present the video on the bridge of the submarine. The display does not need to be removed before the diving; it remains on the bridge during submerged condition. Different features can be utilized and controlled via the Pressure tight TrackBall (PTB) which stays on the bridge during the diving as well. Therefore the whole functionality of the radar subsystem is available for the operator on the bridge. The PBD is fed by 4 video channels which are addressed via the Auxiliary Video Switch (AVS). The PBD operates as a slave monitor. The connection between PBD and the Combat Information Centre (CIC) is realized by pressure tight cables, connectors and hull penetrations. 41

42 The concept of the PBD is to keep the so called intelligence, such as Radar Display Processor, (W)ECDIS Processor, inside the pressure hull of the submarine, where maintenance and updates of soft & hardware can easily be done. There are different solutions for the equipment of the bridge with a Pressure tight Bridge Display. Depending on application or customer request one or two PBD17 could be installed. These come with a 17 sized display; the overall width of the unit does allow an installation of up to two devices which can be operated independently of each other on the bridge of submarines. It is possible to choose a PBD19 as an alternative to the PBD17. This Pressure tight Bridge Display comes with a 19 sized display and therefore provides the maximum degree of ergonomics for a safe navigation and tactical planning and supports the IMO requirements. As well the PBD17 as the PBD19 can be operated easily and intuitively via a Pressure tight TrackBall which is mounted laterally to the equipment and also remains there during an under water mission. As an option both Pressure tight Bridge Displays can additionally be operated via a Portable KeyBoard (PKB). PBD17 - Dual screen configuration 42

The communication between the PTB and the display is realized by IrDA short distance transmission. The Pressure tight TrackBall is driven by a set of two AA batteries which allows a continuously operation of app. 40h. A power safe mode prolongs the total time between the battery changes.

45 Auxiliary Video Switch (AVS) Thales provides an Auxiliary Video Switch (AVS) which allows the PBD to display one of four auxiliary video sources. The switch is designed for CIC integration, so that VGA outputs from different computers, such like Radar, ECDIS, ESM, and Control Monitors etc. can easily be adapted. The AVS forwards only the selected video channel to the bridge display. In the opposite direction the mouse information is taken from the PTB, fed via the AVS to the connected computer in the CIC. The AVS contains the 24V DC power supply for the PBD, which can be switched on/off by the AVS keypad. All parameters are nominal unless specified otherwise.
