AMISAdvanced Multifunction Integrated Systems (MFR+EW)
1- Generalities
AMIS Advanced Multifunction Integrated Systems (MFR+EW) is a “Super-Integrated System” composed of one Multi Function Radar (MFR), one advanced digital ESM and one advanced digital ECM sub-systems.
The great advantage of AMIS is the fact that the overall performances are much better of the performances provided by each individual sub-system. In fact, many of the high performances functions are achieved by exploiting functions of the other sub-systems. Beside the high performances, a great saving of hardware is also achieved, obtaining, as a result, a more reliable system already conceived to operate successfully in an Integrated Ship’s Mast. The AMIS architecture allows to save a lot of on board integration effort and will allow a significant save in the logistic support.
AMIS exploits an X Wide Band MFR (called MFR 10X), composed of 4 fixed AESA (Active Electronically Steering Antenna) faces working in the X RF Wide Band.
