T&G Nordic and Terma partner for C-Guard naval decoy launching system

Finnish company T&G Nordic has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Danish defence group Terma to work in collaboration on areas of mutual interest.

Under the deal, T&G Nordic will support design and development of a new test cartridge for Terma’s naval defence electronic equipment, the C-Guard naval decoy launching system.

Terma Market Development senior vice-president Jørn Henrik Levy Rasmussen said: “With the signing of the MoU, we agree with T&G Nordic to explore areas of mutual interest.

“Specifically, this entails a partnership where T&G Nordic supports Terma in the design, development, and production of a new test cartridge for Terma’s C-Guard decoy launching system, our renowned and globally sold naval self-protection solution to counter multiple missile and torpedo attacks.”

Through the MoU, T&G Nordic will become a part of Terma’s supply chain and have access to new export markets.

The test cartridge will help increase the functionality of the C-Guard naval self-protection system.

It will provide a solution that will generate system simulation scenarios, and increased control and usability for the operator combined with advanced setup parameters for the system. Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Providing 360° coverage, the C-Guard decoy launching system helps effectively counter advanced threats such as small range gate radio frequency (RF) missiles, imaging infra-red (IR) seekers missiles and upgraded next-generation torpedoes.

The Terma-built solution depends on 130mm Nato decoys and an advanced mechanical launcher design without moving parts.

The system requires limited maintenance, which ensures its high operational availability at a significantly low cost of ownership.

The C-Guard decoy launching system helps a wide number of navy ships, ranging from patrol vessels to frigates, counter unexpected missile and torpedo attacks during live naval operations.
