Sky Sabre/Land Ceptor is the newest SAM missile system of United Kingdom, replacing Rapier in service.
The whole system, called Sky Sabre, comprises of:
Radar
Radar used by the system is produced by SAAB Giraffe AMB.
Specitifations:
Range: 180km
Altitude: 20km
Coverage: 360°x70°
RPM: 60 or 30
Type: 3D AESA with 12 stacked beam active at all time
Band: IEEE: C NATO: G
Features:
LPI
Ultra low sidelobes
MPRF with Doppler processing
Integrated IFF
TWS >150 targets
Very high ECCM
RAP
TEWA
Automatic identification and classification
Tracking targets as small as tennis ball
Impact point prediction
C-RAM
C-UAS
Detection and tracking of sea targets
Air and Sea channel work in parallel
Antenne is raised 12m above the ground
Command and Control system
C&C used by the system is produced by Rafael MIC4AD
Equipped with a Link 16 allows for communication with Royal Navy and Royal Air Force ships and aircraft, as well as UK allies.
The system can intercept 24 targets at once, by guiding 24 missile at the same time.
Each part of the system can be up to 15km from eachother
Launcher
Launcher is a MBDA EMADS. In the British service it has it’s own name, Land Ceptor
It is capable of operation independent from the Radar or Control system
Launcher is equipped with a TacFLIR 380-HLD sight
8 missiles carried at the same time.
NLOS engagment capability
