SEA GIRAFFE AMB – FOR SURFACE BASED AIR DEFENCE
COST-EFFECTIVE 3D-RADAR
No more tradeoffs between radar speed and coverage. Sea Giraffe AMB, Saab’s multi-role powerful and cost-effective medium-range 3D surveillance radar system for naval applications does both.
It is a state-of-the-art medium radar with simultaneous air, surface and weapon capability, suitable for all typical naval environments including littoral and blue-water operations.
Full and fast coverage
The agile multi-beam function scans the entire search volume to 70o in every single scan with a fast scan-rate of 60 rpm.
Superior overall performance compared to other naval 3D radars in the same class.
Wide range of extended capabilities.
The AMB functionality, with a wide transmitting lobe in elevation and multiple simultaneous receivers in parallel, is the key to the fast detection over the entire search volume.
The advanced signal processing makes it possible to detect very small targets such as sea skimmers, anti-radiation missiles, mortars and RIBs within tactically relevant ranges.

The Sea Giraffe AMB system is widely used by demanding customers around the world:
- Swedish Navy
