JERNAS air defense system FSC (Field Standard C), developed by MBDA (previously Matra BAe Dynamics, UK). This system in service with the Rejimen Artileri Pertahanan Udara Tentera Darat are consist of rocket launcher Rapier Mk 2, the radar target tracking and surveillance radar Blindfire Dagger. JERNAS provides protection from unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles and aircraft, and helicopters. Rapier can hit supersonic, smallish soaring, highly maneuverable aircraft and can be towed by midsize cars and armored personnel carriers.
Rockets
Start-up unit consists of eight ready to launch missiles. Missiles mounted on rails launcher, placed on the walls of the spinning tower. Full reload is performed by hand for 2-minutes and does not require any lifting attachments. Rapier Mk 2 missile has a combined high-explosive warhead development of BAE Systems Land Systems (RO Defence) and armed with a multi-mode laser remote detonator. The missile is armed with advanced two-stage solid-propellant engine from Roxel. Guidance is automatic.
The fire control system and review
Radar target lock and review is a multi-beam 3D radar with the highest resolution available from BAE Systems Insyte (before Alenia Marconi Systems). Frequency-modulated 3D Doppler radar operates in J-band with a scanning speed of 60 or 30 / min. The highest detection range of 15 km. It is also possible to increment it up to 32 km. Maximum height of the detection of 5 km. The system is capable of detecting more than 75 goals in a second. Signal processing system includes a noise reduction methods are also resistant to electronic countermeasures. The protection system turns off automatically when it detects the transfer of anti radiation missiles.
Radar target tracking with a frequency-modulated signal Blindfire, supplied by BAE Systems Insyte acts F-range. It provides a fully automatic all-weather support in the range of 15 km. Initial signal is quite massive to overcome most of the interference. Also, the radar also uses advanced frequency control techniques to get around the interference and other means of electronic countermeasures. A dedicated team provides the ability to dual-channel launch the missiles.
Electro-optical tracking devices represent a passive infrared electro-optical sensors. They are set in the upper part of the tower in a spherical protective housing and controlled by the operator from the control instrument. Tracking device can be used in the scan mode to provide passive stealth detection and capture objectives in off the radar.
Action
When the detection and capture of target surveillance radar data are transmitted to the tracking radar and launcher, which is then automatically set in the direction of the target. The goal is captured by an optical tracking system. The missile is launched only after the proof of the aggressive surveillance radar accessories goals. Rocket directed to the target using passive infrared and active radar at speeds above Mach 2.5. The automatic reaction is less than 5 seconds, and the capture of the second objective is the least 3 seconds.
