The Vertical Launch System (VLS) design modifica- tions will support current and future missile capabili- ties including SM-2 variants, Evolved Sea Sparrow (ESSM) for improved capability against low altitude supersonic Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCM),

Vertical launch ASROC (VLA), and Tomahawk vari- ants.

A major component of the Cruiser Modernization program is the Mark 34 Gun Weapons System (GWS), which incorporates the Mark 160 Mod 11 Gun

Computer System (GCS) and the 5762 gun with

Extended Range Guided Munition (ERGM) capability.

With the new gun, these cruisers will possess a long- range land-attack capability. The rocket assisted

ERGM rounds can reach targets up to 60 nautical miles away with precision accuracy.

Other systems include the SPQ-9B radar; CIWS

Block IB, SQQ-89A(V)15 sonar suite (Baselines 3 and 4 only) for enhanced littoral water performance,

Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC); and the

Shipboard Advanced Radar Target ID System (SAR-

TIS). These modifications will enhance the ship's rel- evance in the areas of air dominance, land attack, and anti-submarine warfare and will improve force protec- tion in the littoral warfare mission.

Cruiser Modernization includes SmartShip enhance- ments including the Wireless Internal Communications

System (W1CS). the Integrated Bridge System (IBS)

Smart Radar Level

Sensor with Generic

RS485 Output

The first flat array antenna for liquid tank gauging.

This software driven array allows for each sensor to remotely configure itself for the type of product as well as the structural characteristics within each tank. It is completely self-diagnostic and is factory calibrated using a laser interferometer to .1mm. It is designed for the harshest environments and can be provided in a high temperature version to 385°F. It is intrinsically safe with Class 1, Div. 1,

Group D & C approvals. As a smart sensor, all processing calculations and software are resident in the device itself, only a high level generic data output, i.e., RS485 (or others on request) is sent to the cargo control area.

Options: • Multiple alarm set-points • Temperature • PV Pressure • I.G. Pressure • Tank Management Software • Automated draft and trim
