For the first time, real-time radar tracks were displayed on SCOMBA consoles, allowing simulated engagements on real targets detected by the radar
Lockheed Martin and Navantia have reached a key milestone in the development of the Combat System for the F-110 frigates at the AEGIS SCOMBA Integration Center (ASIC) facilities in Moorestown, New Jersey. This involves the operational integration of the Engineering Development Model (EDM) of the SPY-7 radar with the International Aegis Fire Control Loop (IAFCL) weapon system, both developed by Lockheed Martin, and the SCOMBA system developed by Navantia Sistemas.
This achievement reinforces the role of SCOMBA as the core of the Combat System for the F-110 frigates, and its integration with the IAFCL system forms the basis of the F-110’s anti-air warfare capability.
The demonstrated level of integration between both systems represents a decisive advance in the anti-air warfare defense capabilities of the frigate, particularly in track management, doctrine control, and simulated missile engagements on live targets. The work of Navantia Sistemas, in close collaboration with Lockheed Martin, and with the fundamental support of the Spanish Navy and the US Navy, has been key to validating the system’s architecture and capabilities.
The success of these activities is crucial for the installation of the IAFCL system in the Land Based Test Site (LBTS), located at Navantia Sistemas‘ facilities in San Fernando. Additionally, the installation of the SPY radar, the IAFCL system, and SCOMBA at the Land-Based Systems Integration Center (CIST) facility established at the Rota Naval Base is planned, where tests will be conducted in a coastal maritime environment before their final integration on board.
Navantia and Lockheed Martin continue to advance in the integration of the IAFCL system into the F-110 frigate, reaffirming their commitment to technological innovation in the service of national defense.
