United Kingdom selects Thales S1850M radar for aircraft carriers
Thales Nederland has formalised a contract with BAE Systems for two S1850M Long Range Volume Search Radars to be installed on the new aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy.

The S1850M surveillance radar is based on Thales's SMART-L radar and was previously delivered to the Type 45 vessels for the UK Royal Navy and the Horizon class vessels of the French and Italian Navies, in a collaboration between BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies Limited and Thales Nederland. The system is capable of 3D long range automatic detection, track initiation and tracking of air targets. Its performance has been demonstrated in many tests and the system has proven to be capable of detecting stealth targets in high clutter environments.
