3. 3. INTRODUCTION Saab Bofors Dynamics' Bamse all-weather, all-target, air defence missile system is deployed to protect fixed and mobile assets. It can be used against a range of threats including fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aircraft, stand-off missiles, cruise and anti-radiation missiles and guided bombs. Bamse is effective against very small and very fast targets such as air-to-surface attack missiles. The system has all-weather capability and a target range that exceeds the stand-off distance of electro-optically controlled weapons. T he system provides a target range of more than 15km and coverage to an altitude up to 15,000m.
4. 4. DEVELOPMENT Bofors (later to become Saab Bofors) and Ericsson (now Saab) Microwave Systems completed the project definition phase in 1991 and the engineering development programme began in 1992. In 1993 the Swedish Government placed a contract on the then Bofors Missiles and Ericsson to carry out the full-scale development of the Bamse system. In May 2008, the first production system was delivered and the Swedish Armed Forces trained their first unit and brought the system into operation in late 2008.
5. 5. FIRING BATTERY The Bamse firing battery includes a surveillance coordination centre and three missile control centres. The missile control centres are towed to position by a cross- country vehicle, which also carries a store of missiles for reloading. The system can be deployed and prepared for firing in less than ten minutes.
6. 6. CONTROL The Giraffe AMB uses a 'stacked beam' antenna arrangement, with one wide beam for transmission and multiple narrow beams for simultaneous reception. This provides a target update rate of one a second, with elevation coverage of more than 70. The IFF transmit and receive units are mounted on the radar antenna. One surveillance coordination centre can coordinate up to four missile control centres. The distance between the surveillance control centre and the missile control centres is typically 10km, and between missiles control centres, 20km.
7. 7. SYSTEM The radar command-to-line-of-sight (CLOS) missile uses solid propellant booster and sustainer rocket motors, which give the missile high acceleration and high maintained velocity. Nammo supplies the sustainer rocket motor and components for the booster motor. The missile has a range of more than 15km and covers altitudes to 15,000m. The missile has high manoeuvrability, even at the outer range limit. The fragmentation and shaped charge warhead is equipped with a proximity fuse and an impact fuse.
