Last week, the Iranian Navy launched three domestically built combat, simulator and radar systems.

A new sea-based Samen surface fire control system, which was unveiled during the event, can track surface and air targets, in addition to tracing 40 surface and one air target simultaneously.

Iran also introduced a simulator system for divers departing from Midget submarines. These can also be deployed for emergency exit practice.

The navy’s S and X navigation radar project makes use of data fusion and has the potential to be deployed in a network.
