Iran's Navy unveiled three new home-made combat, simulator and radar systems. The sea-based 'Samen' surface fire control system is capable of tracking surface and air targets and can trace 40 surface and 1 air targets simultaneously.

Also, a simulator system for divers' exit from Midget submarines, which can also be used for exercising the Navy personnel's emergency exit, was unveiled in the ceremony.

The last military equipment which was unveiled by the Iranian Navy was the S and X navigation radar project which is capable of being used in a network and can use data fusion.

It also can send information and data of the target, including direction, speed and distance, and connect to different navigation aid systems at the same time.
