The Saab 2000 multi-role Maritime Patrol Aircraft equipped with an
AESA radar and a Saab RBS 15 anti-ship missiles is being offered to the
Indian Navy to meet the growing challenges in India’s maritime domain
stretching across 2 million square km.
The Active Electronically
Scanned Array (AESA) radar onboard SAAB 2000 MPA is a modern high
performance system that supports the full range of maritime surveillance
and coherent imaging modes used for both naval and overland operations.
Saab 2000 MPA which is being offered for India’s Medium Range
Maritime Reconnaissance (MRMR) program will be equipped with a
state-of-art Selex AESA radar and RBS 15 Anti Ship Missile.

(IFF) capability with customized interrogator functions. The AESA
surveillance radar is supported by a Saab R4A AIS transponder
receiver/transmitter system for locating and identifying any naval
activity.
The AIS system also provides an encrypted data link. For close
range detection, identification and recording of surface objects and
activities, Saab 2000 MPA incorporates Electro-Optic (HDTV) and Thermal
Imager sensors. The Saab 2000 MPA system incorporates an ELINT system
providing the capability to intercept and collect intelligence
information consisting of detailed information of e.g. complex emitters
active signal components, the relationship and the dynamics between
active signal components.
The Saab 2000 MPA on offer is also equipped with an ESM system for automatic identification of RF signal sources and Direction Finding of RF signal sources with high accuracy. For self protection, a SPS system is installed including radar warning receivers, missile approach warning sensors, laser warning sensors as well as chaff and flare dispensers.
The Saab 2000 MPA comes equipped with a COMINT system that complements the baseline ELINT system for enhanced SIGINT capabilities. The installed COMINT system includes both a Direction Finder function and an Intercept System.
The Saab 2000 MPA is equipped with a Command & Control (C2) system that integrates, and assists in controlling all mission sensors and provides the user interface to mission operators, via four (4) workstations installed side-by-side in the cabin facing starboard, and to the pilots via a dedicated tactical display. The workstations also provide access to the mission communication system.
