EO sensors-a hardware survey

Article Abstract:

Electro-optic (EO) sensors that are used for air defence, surface surveillance and gun fire support, are being used to enhance force protection, which includes night/low visibility coastal observation intelligence-gathering special warfare (SPECWAR) and in port-security operations as technology requirements grew after USS Cole incident in 2000. The EO/IR sensor systems when integrated into the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) network, will enhance detection, tracking, and identification of air targets, expand engagement ranges, and enable force-wide engagement co-ordination.

Multi-purpose vessels - Ideal assets only for smaller navies?

Article Abstract:

Multi-purpose surface warships are attracting the interest of maritime forces due to its increasing coastal water responsibilities, homeland security, and counter-terrorism operations, but they have their own limitations, as they are not all-round warships. The multi-purpose naval vessels with latest technologies would make an ideal asset for the multiplicity of future maritime tasks for all Navies.
