THAILAND - FRIGATES TO BE EQUIPPED WITH EVOLVED SEA SPARROW MISSILES (JAN 15/RAYTHEON)
RAYTHEON — The Royal Thai Navy has agreed with the U.S. government to purchase nine Evolved Sea Sparrow missiles (ESSMs), reports Raytheon, the Waltham, Mass.-based manufacturer of the weapons.
The missiles will be equipped on Thailand’s two Naresuan-class frigates, which are being upgraded, said a company release.
The Evolved Sea Sparrows will be fired from a MK 41 eight-cell vertical launch system using a MK 25 Quad Pack canister, said the release.

on évoque ici des problèmes de radars (chinois !) sur les premiers navires équipés :
Speaking of Chinese-built vessels, work continues to upgrade two Type 25T Naresuan-class frigates. In July, BAE Systems was awarded a contract for three Mk 25 Model 0 Quad Pack canisters for Raytheon’s RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) to equip both frigates. The original Chinese radar systems encountered numerous problems and Saab was given two contracts in June 2011 to fit the CEROS 200 fire control system, Sea Giraffe AMB radar, EOS 500 optronic director, data-link and 9LV Mk4 Combat Management System (CMS). Work should conclude in 2015.
