SSMART and Signaal Hellas are the exclusive authorised service, overhaul, Integrated Logistic Support and software maintenance providers in Greece for all Thales Nederland B.V. products and services.

LIROD MK2 is a flexible and compact sensor system, most suitable as an accurate, low cost, all-weather tracker for fire control systems.

The system has been designed for as the primary gun control system onboard of smaller ships, against both surface and air targets, and as a secondary system in larger configurations. With an appropriate gun, it is suitable for CIWS functions. LIROD Mk2 is also capable of controlling short-range missiles.

The radar system operates in the K-band, and applies a new, powerful TWT transmitter to improve the performance under adverse conditions. The antenna is of an ellipsoid design to achieve the best low elevation performance against sea-skimming targets, while maintaining fast target acquisition against manoeuvring targets.

LIROD Mk2 has been purchased by the navies of Indonesia, Turkey, Greece, Morocco and Thailand.
