Lacroix Defense has confirmed that it is supplying its Sylena decoy launching system (DLS) and associated decoy ammunition to the Hellenic Navy as part of a larger Frégate de Défense et d’Intervention – Hellenic Navy (FDI HN) contract being delivered by Naval Group.
In a 9 May statement, the company said each FDI HN frigate will be equipped with four Sylena Mk 1 decoy launchers. All three ships will be built at Naval Group’s Lorient shipyard, with the first two already in build.
Conceived by Lacroix as a low-cost, easy-to-integrate shipborne soft-kill system, the Sylena DLS comprises a number of fixed angle mortar launchers above deck (the exact number depending on ship size/radar cross-section), a central processing unit and display (typically integrating with both the ship’s combat management system and an electronic support measures outfit), a heading indicator panel on the bridge, and an emergency control box (for manual launch) in the operations room.
