Saab - BAMSE All-Weather Air Defence Missile System [480p]

The Bamse Automatic Command-to-Line-Of-Sight (ACLOS) missile system is one of few systems in the world today that has been developed as a dedicated ground-based air-defence missile system. The philosophy is to have a number of fully co-ordinated firing units that together create the system's ground coverage of more than 1,500km, the unique altitude coverage of 15,000m and a range out to 20km.

Unique Coverage

Long-range/high-altitude surveillance is no match for Bamse, which provides a large protected volume to high altitude.

All-Target Capability

With Bamse, you are protected against a wide variety of modern threats, including stealth and small targets.

The all-target, all-weather Bamse system is designed to counter modern threats, which besides bombers and fighter-bombers, also includes stand-off weapons, UAVs and other small targets that will constitute ever greater threats in the future. The Bamse system combines modern advanced technology and the company's more than 50 years' experience in air-defence systems, missiles and radars, into a powerful and cost-effective air-defence system.

Unique Capabilities

•24-hour, all-weather capability in ECM environment
•Long-range/high-altitude surveillance
•Large protected volume to high altitude
•Accurate 3D target designation from radar
•Optimised C4I Network function

Fast And Lethal

•Very short reaction and engagement times
•All missiles reloaded in less than 5 min (1 missile reloaded in 1 min)
•High detection and kill probability against targets ranging from large transport aircraft, fighter-bombers and UAVs to air-to-ground missiles and stealth-type targets (low radar signature)
•High capability against multiple attacks
•High level of tactical and strategic mobility

Efficient Support And Operation

•Embedded simulators for easy handling and training
•Operation with a minimum of qualified personnel
•Minimised logistical support
•Long serviceable life with low life-cycle cost, with a missile life exceeding 30 years
•High redundancy

The Bamse system was developed from the beginning as a dedicated ground-based air-defence missile system with a medium-range capability (15,000m altitude coverage). The development of the system was carried out in accordance with MIL-STDs and in close collaboration with the Swedish Armed Forces. The reason for developing the Bamse system was to meet the Swedish Armed Forces' requirements, particularly regarding all-target capability in a modern threat scenario, including small and fast airborne stand-off weapons, with high altitude coverage, high ECCM capability and cost-effectiveness.

The Bamse system has been operational with the Swedish Armed Forces since late 2008 when the first unit was trained.

This is a legacy system no longer in use.

When it was new it was state of the art, you can be certain the Swedish military has kept up with development of next generation Air defense systems.

badass!!! heja sverige!

Great!

Is a maximum altitude of 15km enough? Planes like the F15 have a maximum altitude of nearly 20km.
