L-BAND RADAR
INSTALLATION JIG
Hofmann Engineering specialises in
customising engineering solutions for
its customers. As part of the upgrade
project for the ANZAC Class frigates,
Hofmann Engineering collaborated
with the Royal Australian Navy and
BAE System Australia (BAE) on the
design and manufacture of a custom
L-Band Radar installation jig. The
basic design work was executed
by BAE with Hofmann Engineering
being instrumental in improving the
robustness of the unit. Many upgrades
and modifications were incorporated
to achieve safe and reliable remote
operation, making allowance for the
ship’s movement.
