Developed and produced by Sagem, the EOMS-NG is a high-performance, third-generation optronic (electro-optical) system that provides panoramic infrared surveillance, reconnaissance, identification and tracking. The EOMS-NG operates day or night, at sea or in coastal areas, and against all types of threat, whether surface, air or missiles, and conventional or asymmetric. EOMS-NG systems are controlled from Sagem consoles located at the operations center and the close air defense bridge.

The program also provides for complete maintenance of all systems delivered over a period of three years, including spares and the production of a simulation system to train operators at the Naval Instruction Center in Saint-Mandrier.

The EOMS-NG systems will be produced by Sagem’s Dijon plant, for delivery from summer 2014 to the end of 2015. Each of the four frigates will be equipped with a system.

Sagem has logged more than 40 years of experience in developing and producing optronic systems for both surface vessels and submarines. The EOMS-NG has been chosen for the Floréal and OPV Adroit class frigates made by DCNS, and Baynunah corvettes for the United Arab Emirates. The VAMPIR-NG, an infrared surveillance version of the EOMS-NG, will be used on Anzac class frigates for Australia and New Zealand, and Australia’s aircraft carriers and AWD air warfare destroyers.
