Technical requirements: The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) is putting the acquisition of Decoy Cartridges (DC), specifically 130MM Naval Countermeasure Rounds up for tender.
DALO assess that the use of soft kill in combination with hard kill will have a significantly positive impact for the probability of self protection against hostile attacks.
The purpose of acquiring DC’s is to be able to create a “false” radar signature (Radar Cross Section (RCS)) sending the radio signature away from DALO’s ship. In order to induce the missile threat to attack the “false” signature it is required that the ”false” signature is larger than the signature released from DALO’s own ships signature. To make a larger signature than DALO’s ship, it may be necessary to use more than one DC.
The Royal Danish Navy vessels are currently using the C-Guard system produced and delivered by TERMA A/S with launcher type MK 137 (NSN 1055226149753) to launch the decoy cartridge.
Loading of launchers will possibly be done prior to going to sea and loading /reloading may occur when vessels are operating out at sea.
The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has decided to terminate the tender for 130MM Naval Countermeasure Rounds without an award. The reason for the termination is that DALO has become aware that a number of mandatory requirements have an inappropriate and unwanted effect on the overall competition.
