The Italian Navy has announced the completion of the qualification of the new anti-aircraft missile system SAAM-ESD PPA (Surface Anti–Air Missile - Extended Self Defense PPA), developed by MBDA Italia. The tests were successful, which confirms the system's readiness for operation in real conditions.
Test Highlights:
1. Test launch of the Aster 30 rocket: During the tests, the Aster 30 rocket was successfully launched in integrated mode with the shipboard control system (CMS) aboard the Giovanni delle Bande Nere (P 434) ship. This ship is the first multi-purpose combat ship of the Thaon di Revel class in a "full configuration".
2. Integration with the ship's control system: One of the key aspects of the tests was the integration of the SAAM-ESD PPA system with the ship's control system. This allows for high efficiency and accuracy in the use of anti-aircraft missiles in various combat conditions.
3. Confirmation of combat readiness: Successful testing confirms that the SAAM-ESD PPA system is ready for operation and can be used to protect Italian warships from aerial threats.
The significance of the new system:
The new SAAM-ESD PPA anti-aircraft missile system represents a significant improvement over previous generations of anti-aircraft missile systems. It provides a higher range and accuracy of hitting targets, as well as the ability to effectively counter modern aerial threats.
Prospects:
The completion of the SAAM-ESD PPA qualification opens up new opportunities for the Italian Navy. The implementation of this system on Thaon di Revel class ships will significantly increase their combat capabilities and provide more reliable protection against air attacks.
The Italian Navy continues to actively develop its capabilities by introducing advanced technologies and weapons systems. This allows them to remain one of the leading naval forces in the world and effectively carry out their tasks to ensure security and protect national interests.
