Chess Dynamics launches next generation Sea Eagle FCEO MKII
Published 2nd August 2021
Chess Dynamics, the leading British surveillance, tracking and gunfire control specialist has today at Sea Air Space announced the launch of Sea Eagle FCEO MKII, its next generation precision fire control electro-optical tracking director. The Sea Eagle FCEO MKII incorporates a mega-pixel panoramic situational awareness camera and fully digital architecture to provide enhanced situational awareness, while maintaining relative positional awareness, for persistent target tracking and gunnery fire control.
Building on the success of the Sea Eagle family of naval electro-optical systems, Sea Eagle FCEO MKII is optimised for control of naval guns against air, surface and shore targets. In addition, the capability serves as a critical aid for security and search and rescue as well as infrared search and track (IRST), navigation and aircraft control. It can also be used in mine avoidance in non-tactical surveillance mode.
The stabilised and compact director benefits from a modular and all-weather design which reduces maintenance costs and improves reliability throughout the capability’s service life.
Graham Beall, Head of Business Development USA at Chess Dynamics, said,
“Persistent situational awareness, visual target tracking and gunnery fire control has never been more essential in modern naval warfare. The Sea Eagle FCEO MKII incorporates the latest digital infrastructure and situational awareness cameras to deliver high resolution imagery and superior performance, both day and night. The capability’s integrated targeting, awareness and gunnery director makes the Sea Eagle FCEO MKII an essential tool for target identification and engagement in tactical mode.”
The Sea Eagle FCEO MKII will be available globally in 2022 and through Liteye Systems Inc. in the U.S.A.
