Defence Force (HDF) are to upgraded by MBDA.
Netherlands
The Royal Netherlands Air Force plans to replace its ARES MPR (Medium
Power Radars) with new Thales SMART-L -band ground-based air
surveillance radars from 2017. Currently the RNLAF operates two ARES MPR

located in the central Netherlands at the Air Operations Control Station at
Nieuw-Milligen airbase, with a second located at Wier airbase in the north
of the country.
Poland
The Wisla (Visula) medium-range air and missile defence requirement has
been released to tender. Raytheon (Patriot) and Eurosam (SAMP/T) have
been invited to tender. Selection was planned in 2015, with 6 batteries to be

FLAAD Land should be ready for entry into service at the end of the
decade. Retirement of the Rapier is scheduled to begin in 2020.
The Royal Artillery (RA) currently operates 5 batteries of Rapier FSC missiles
and these are likely to be replaced on a one-for-one basis. The RA also
deploys the Starstreak High Velocity Missile (HVM).
FLAADS Land uses the MBDA Common Anti-air Modular Missile (CAMM) as
its interceptor. CAMM is also on order for the Royal Navys Sea Ceptor
primary air defence system which will equip the services Type 23 frigates
and future Type 26 Global Combat Ships.
The upgrade of the Type-1045/Sampson radars could see its detection range
increased.
The Type-997/ARTISAN radars equipping the Royal Navys Type 23 frigates,
are currently being qualified to work with the MBDA Sea Ceptor SAM which
will replace the Sea Wolf SAMs currently used by the Type 23s from 2016.
The Type-997/ARTISAN will also equip the planned Type 26 Global Combat
Ship (GCS).
The SCANTER 4103 was selected in late 2014 to equip the last three River
class OPVs of the Royal Navy. The delivery of the first radar is scheduled for
2016.
