The Integrated Mast reflects a drastic shift in naval sensor -to INTEGRATED MAST
ship integration and top side design. It provides a tailormade • Superb all around operational performance
scalable and flexible sensor solution in an enclosed easy • Reduced overall program risk
accesible structure. The structure is well designed and all sensors • Scalability and Flexibility
provide unrivalled operational performance in all directions.
The IM concept alligns with modern modular shipbuilding
practices with the aim of reducing risk and lead time.
