2.0.1 RIM-7 Seasparrow Missile. The Seasparrow Missile is a short to mediumrange all-weather, all-environment missile designed primarily for the ship self

defense role. Later variants of the Seasparrow Missile also contain a very

capable low altitude air and surface target capability. The Seasparrow Missile is

found aboard ships of the NATO Seasparrow Consortium and other allied nationsaround the world. To support testing exercises, applicable Telemetry versions of

the RIM-7 are available. The Seasparrow Missile is being replaced by mostnations in the Consortium with the more capable Evolved Seasparrow Missile.

2.0.2 RIM-162 Evolved Seasparrow Missile (ESSM). The Evolved Seasparrow Missileis a medium range all weather, all-environment missile designed to provide ship self

defense against air and surface targets. ESSM operates with a wide range of existing

and future Combat Systems. For compatibility with the existing Seasparrow

infrastructure, ESSM is required to operate with Continuous Wave (CW) Home Allthe Way (HAW) systems. This includes the U.S. Navy MK 57 NATO Seasparrow

Surface Missile System (NSSMS), Dutch Clusters III and IV, the Danish STANFLEXand the Australian ANZAC 9LV453 and FFG Australian Distributed ArchitectureCombat System (ADACS) combat systems. ESSM is also compatible with the

AEGIS Combat System and APAR. A wide range of launchers including the MK 48

GMVLS, MK 41 VLS and MK 56 GMVLS are compatible with the ESSM.

2.1 Surface Missile Systems/Fire Control Systems. There are seven Consortium

products defined as Missile Systems or Fire Control Systems. These will be overviewed in

the subsequent paragraphs. In addition, there are other fire control systems known to be inuse with the Seasparrow/Evolved Seasparrow Missiles. Including, the CEROS Fire

Control System, MK 92 Mod 12 FCS, Anti Air Warfare Segment (AAWS), AEGIS and

APAR.

2.1.1 MK 57 NATO Seasparrow Surface Missile System (NSSMS). There are three

variants of the MK 57 in use today. All three variants are primarily used bythe USN in support of the Seasparrow or Evolved Seasparrow missile.

Each of these variants will be overviewed in the subsequent

paragraphs. Raytheon is the primary design agent of the MK 57systems.

2.1.1.1 MK 57 NSSMS Variants Overview. All NSSMS MK 57variants are all weather, all environment Anti-Ship Missile Defense

System. They are fully capable of unassisted target acquisition, track, missile/launcherorder preparation and missile firing when operated in the Automatic mode. The system is

capable of meeting the stringent late detect, or horizon detected time constraints for a

broad spectrum of current missile threats. The system also has a capable Surface Defense

capability. The designator and major differences between the various are:

MK 57 Mod 2/3 NSSMS. Legacy NSSMS variant that uses the Seasparrow

Missile.

MK 57 Mod 10/11 NSSMS. Re-Architectured NSSMS variant that uses the

Seasparrow Missile variant.

MK 57 Mod 12/13 NSSMS. Re-Architectured NSSMS that uses the Evolved

Seasparrow Missile.

2.1.2 Dutch Configuration Fire Control System. The Dutch Configuration FireControl Systems consist of the WM25/STIR family of systems manufactured by THALES,

(formally known as SIGNAAL). Each of these Fire Control Systems will have one or more

of the following hardware configurations:

WM25 Combined Antenna System (CAS)

STIR (Magnetron)

STIR (TWT)

In addition to the above hardware configurations, the DC systems are also divided intothree different clusters (or ship groups). These clusters are differentiated depending on the

generation of the Signaal Miniature Rekeneaar (SMR) computer and its peripherals, as

well as the level of integration between the Fire Control System and the ship's Combat

Management System.

2.2 Launching Systems. There are four Launching systems proven to be compatible with

the Seasparrow or Evolved Seasparrow missiles. Of these, three are part of theConsortium‘s product line. The fourth, MK 41 VLS, utilizes a Consortium developed

Launch canister to fire ESSMs. The following paragraphs will overview the compatiblelauncher variants.

2.2.1 MK 29 Guided Missile Launching System (GMLS). There are 5 variants of the

MK 29 GMLS. This launcher family provides on-mountstowage and launching capability for firing up to eight

missiles in a self contained environmentally controlledtrainable launcher design. The MK 29 Mod 1-3 supports the

Seasparrow missile variants. The MK 29 mod 4/5 supports

the Evolved Seasparrow Missile.

2.2.2 MK 48 Guided Missile Vertical Launching System (GMVLS). There are 5variants 0f the MK 48 GMVLS. The MK 48 GMVLS is an unmanned systemcapable of launching Vertical Launch (VL) Seasparrow missiles with the Jet

Vane Control (JVC) from its vertically mounted MK 20 canisters. Later Mods

can launch the Evolved Seasparrow missile. This vertical launching system isdesigned to interface with a variety of Fire Control Systems (FCS). Raytheon

is the design agent for the MK 48 GMVLS. The MK 48 Mod 0-3 variants are

configurable with up to 16 Seasparrow missiles (6 missiles in the case of the

3



NSPO-CPH-0001

modular Mod 3 configuration), available as a topside or in-deck installation. The MK 48

Mod 4/5 variants are configurable with up to 16 Evolved Seasparrow missiles, available as

a topside or in-deck installation.

2.2.3 MK 56 Mod 0 Guided Missile Vertical Launching System (GMVLS). The MK

56 Vertical Launcher is configurable with up to 16 Evolved Seasparrowmissiles depending on the Mod number, available as a topside or in-deckinstallation. However, the MK 56 Mod 0 variant, part of NSPO support

program, is capable of launching 12 ESSM vertical launch missiles. Thelaunching system is remote-controlled and unmanned during launch

operation. The Mod 1 variant hosts 8 ESSMs.

2.2.4 MK 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS). The MK 41 is an in-deck VLS,configurable in multiples of 8 cell modules. The MK 41 is used with both the Seasparrow

and RIM-162 missiles. When used with the Evolved Seasparrow, 4 missiles per cells can

be accommodated with the MK 25 Quad Pack Canister. Please note that the MK 41 is not

a Consortium Product. However, when used with the Seasparrow missile, the requiredMK 220 Mod 1 MLC is.

2.3 Missile Canisters. There are three launch canisters that support the three vertical

launching systems as described below.

2.3.1 MK 20 Canister. The MK 20 is a single missile canister design with launch rail

used with the MK 48 GMVLS.

2.3.2 MK 25 Quad Pack. The MK 25 is a four missile canister design with4 sub-cells used with the MK 41 VLS.

2.3.3 Composite Dual Pack.Composite design for single missile load out with launchrail. This canister is referred to as “Dual Pack” because 2 ESSMs can fit into the same

space as a single MK 20 canister.

2.4 WCU-16A/B Jet Vane Controller (JVC). The JVC assembly contains four

hydraulically controlled vanes, a microprocessor and servo amplifier

assemblies. The JVC assembly is mounted to the exhaust end of the vertical

launch RIM-7 Sparrow missile MK 58 MOD 4 rocket motor with twoexplosive bolts. The JVC receives and sends control signals from the missile guidance and

control section, and the shipboard missile launch control prior to launch to complete a bit

check and calculate the trajectory required for the missile to clear the ship. The JVC vanemotion causes thrust forces required to turn the missile body from a vertical orientation to

the desired flight trajectory during the initial seconds of flight. Following completion of

the initial missile pitch over, the JVC unit is jettisoned from the rocket motor by detonatingthe two explosive mounting bolts.

2.5 CW Illuminators. There are five Continuous Wave (CW) Illuminators (Transmitters)used with the Seasparrow and Evolved Seasparrow Missiles. Of these, two are considered

4



NSPO-CPH-0001

Rev -1

Consortium products and are described in the subsequent paragraphs. The other three

transmitters are the MK 93 MOD 0 MACWIT in use by the Royal Danish Navy and theSolid State Continuous Wave Illuminators (SSCWI) in use by the Australian and UAE

Navy’s.

2.5.1 MK 73 Mod 1 Transmitter. The Mod 1 Transmitter is a self–contained set of fourcabinets whose purpose is to generate X–band microwave energy. The transmitter uses a

master oscillator/power amplifier chain and the single sideband generator principle to provide 2 kW of modulated RF power. A liquid cooling system is used for primary

cooling.

2.5.2 MK 73 Mod 3 Solid State Transmitter. The solid state

variant of the MK 73 Transmitter Group utilizes the same four

cabinets as the Mod 1 Transmitter. However, the majority of

the internal circuits have been replaced with moderntechnology, including solid state RF amplification and

processors. Power output and most other performance parameters are the same as the Mod 1 Transmitter withdramatically improved reliability and significantly reduced

maintenance cost.

2.6 MK 6 Mod 2 Low Light Level Television (LLLTV). The

LLLTV is designed to be used as an adjunct sensor during all NSSMS

operational conditions in support of visual threat recognition, fire

control tracking during casualty states, detection and evaluation ofmultiple threats, and kill/survive assessment during missile

engagements.

2.7 Special Purpose Test Equipment. There is a variety of test equipment used to

support the Consortium prime equipment products. These are overviewed in Table 2.7.

3.0 Consortium Memorandums of Understanding & Required Approvals. The NATO Seasparrow Project operates under the authority provided by four Memorandums ofUnderstanding (MOU):

Memorandum of Understanding for the International Development of the

NATO SEASPARROW Surface Missile System.

Memorandum of Understanding for the Cooperative Support of the NATOSEASPARROW Surface Missile System.

Memorandum of Understanding for the Cooperative Production of the Evolved

SEASPARROW Missile.

Memorandum of Understanding for the Cooperative In-Service Support of theEvolved SEASPARROW Missile.

These MOUs provide the framework for management and execution of the Project as well

as establishing the principles of cooperation that govern the Consortium’s operations. The

MOUs have been signed by the 12 member nations that comprise the NATO SeasparrowConsortium:

Australia The Netherlands

Belgium NorwayCanada Portugal

Denmark Spain

Germany Turkiye

Greece United States

The aforementioned MOUs established the NATO Seasparrow Project Steering Committee

(NSPSC) which provides management direction and oversight for the Project and is

7



NSPO-CPH-0001

Rev -1

comprised of one member from each of the 12 Consortium nations. The MOUs also call

for a NATO Seasparrow Project Office (NSPO) to serve as the executive staff andexecution agent for the NSPSC. With regard to sales of Consortium products to non-

member nations, there is a well-established process in place. Before Consortium

information can be released and before a sale of NATO Seasparrow products can take

place to a non-member nation(s), NSPSC approval is required. In order to obtain NSPSCapproval, the first step in the process is for a Government or military official from the

purchasing nation to submit a formal request for NSPSC approval. For your convenience,the Consortium has prepared a form letter that can be used to obtain NSPSC approval (see

example of form letter provided in Appendix A. This letter is also available electronically

in the NATO Seasparrow Web Site, non-consortium Nations sub-site). Once a nationsubmits a formal request, the NSPSC Members will be asked to pursue national staffing of

the request. Depending on the timing of the request, this process takes approximately three

months. After the NSPSC approves the release of Consortium information and approves

the sale of Consortium products, the purchasing nation is notified by NSPO. Pleaseunderstand that submitting a formal request for release of Consortium information or to

purchase a Consortium product(s) does not imply or constitute any obligation on the partof the requesting nation. NSPO would be pleased to provide advice and assistance to your Navy, at no charge, in processing a formal request to obtain NSPSC approval to purchase

Consortium products.

4.0 FMS Process Overview and Requirements. The U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS)

Program is one of the options available to non-Consortium nations for obtaining the

Consortium products and services described in this handbook. The U.S. FMS Program

uses formal contracts or agreements between the United States Government (USG) and anauthorized foreign purchaser. These contracts, called Letters of Offer and Acceptance

(LOAs), are signed by both the USG and the purchasing Government and provide for,

amongst other things, the procurement of follow-on support including engineeringservices, logistics support, training, documentation, spare and repair parts, equipment

upgrades and related management services.

The Foreign Military Sales (FMS) process begins when an eligible foreign country or

international organization requests information for obtaining follow-on support of

Consortium products via U.S. FMS. These requests, generally referred to as Letters ofRequest (LORs), can take the form of formal correspondence, requests for proposal

(RFPs), or via discussions, electronic mail (e-mail), letters, or messages. Although no

specific format is required for an LOR, the non-Consortium nation should ensure that the

request contains as much pertinent information on the desired Consortium Products andFollow-On Support Services as possible in order to prepare an accurate cost estimate. The

LOR should indicate whether Price and Availability (P&A) data, a Letter of Offer and

Acceptance (LOA), a Letter of Intent (LOI), an LOA Amendment, or an LOAModification is desired. Certain USG organizations are authorized to receive and respond

to LORs. For NATO SEASPARROW Consortium products and services, LORs should besent to the following organization:

5.0 Direct Commercial Sales Process Overview and Requirements. When it comes to procuring follow-on support, the NATO SEASPARROW Consortium is not concerned

with the method of procurement that a nation uses (i.e., Foreign Military Sale (FMS) or

Direct Commercial Sale (DCS)). In fact, the Consortium does not have a preference for

either FMS or DCS. The Consortium’s major concern is that a nation obtains adequatefollow-on support because of its impact on mission assurance. Mission assurance is the

Consortium’s highest priority. Moreover, follow-on support is the single most important

factor in sustaining capability and meeting a nation’s expectations for equipment performance. Mission assurance is a blend of:

Equipment readiness

Supporting systems readiness

Crew readiness

Logistics support readiness

To achieve mission assurance, the Consortium and the NATO SEASPARROW ProjectOffice (NSPO) have established an extensive follow-on support network comprised of

Government and commercial organizations. To show the Consortium’s commitment to

mission assurance, the Consortium is offering access to its follow-on support network to

nations who are not members of the NATO SEASPARROW Consortium. Access to theConsortium’s proven, effective and cost beneficial follow-on support network is available

via FMS or DCS. In some cases, procuring follow-on support via DCS may be a fasterway of obtaining the technical and logistics support your Navy requires. If your Navy

decides to procure technical and logistics support via DCS, there are two options for

accessing the Consortium’s follow-on support network:

1) Utilize NSPO’s Follow-on Support Agent (FOSA)

9



NSPO-CPH-0001

Rev -1

2) Obtain the support directly from the service provider

In both of the options above, your Navy would execute a commercial contract directly with

NSPO’s FOSA or the service provider. NSPO would be pleased to provide your Navy, at

no charge, advice and assistance on procuring follow-on support via DCS.

6.0 Ship Transfers Overview. Member nations of the NATO SEASPARROWConsortium occasionally sell or transfer ships with NATO SEASPARROW equipment to

non-member nations. Although the sale/transfer of the ship(s) is a transaction between the

selling/transferring nation and the buying nation, Consortium policy requires the NATOSEASPARROW Project Steering Committee (NSPSC) to approve the transfer of the

NATO SEASPARROW equipment on the ship(s). The NSPSC is responsible for

providing management direction and oversight and is comprised of one member from each

of the 12 Consortium nations (see section 3.0). The primary reason for obtaining NSPSCapproval to transfer the NATO SEASPARROW equipment is to give the Consortium

insight into where NATO SEASPARROW products are located in order to offer assistancewith follow-on support. The selling/transferring nation is responsible for notifying andrequesting NSPSC approval to sell/transfer the NATO SEASPARROW equipment. In

addition to NSPSC approval, please understand there may be other approvals required

before the transfer can occur (e.g., U.S. Department of State). An element that may beconsidered as a part of ship transfer with Seasparrow Equipment is support via

sponsorship. Sponsorship is when a Consortium nation agrees to provide specific

assistance to the buying nation for a specific amount of time for some or all NATO

Seasparrow mission assurance elements identified in Section 5.0 of this handbook.

7.0 NSSMS Follow On Support Agent. The NATO Seasparrow Consortium does not

require follow on support as a condition of sale for any Consortium products or missiles.However, the Consortium strongly encourages nations to utilize the existing in-service

infrastructure applicable to your NATO Seasparrow products in support of life cycle

maintenance. Due to the highly federated nature of the consortium product lines andavailable in-service organizations, the NATO Seasparrow Project utilizes a commercial

Follow on Support Agent (FOSA). This FOSA is under the direct control of the NATO

Seasparrow Project Office. The FOSA can provide the primary interface for day-to-day planning, coordination and execution of follow-on support requirements for your nation,

including the development of required documentation related to FMS Cases or Direct

Commercial Contract(s). In addition, the FOSA can assist you in determining or refining

your requirements for support equipment and systems as well as assisting in definingrecommendations for detailed and cost effective follow on support using the existing

Consortium service providers. Please note that the use of the FOSA will require an initial

“small value” contract or FMS Case.

Figure 7.0 overviews the specifics related to the use of the NATO Seasparrow FOSA. The process starts with a nation contacting the NATO Seasparrow Project Office (NSPO). The

NSPO will have the FOSA assist you in determining related requirements and needs

associated with NATO Seasparrow equipment. These analyses will include matching

available NSSMS equipments and

services to meet your needs and budget. Once we understand your

needs and the required funding is

in place, the FOSA will construct

and manage your support teamusing the existing approved

service providers. The providersare established and known experts

utilized by the NATO Seasparrow

Consortium for all aspects and products associated with NATO

Seasparrow. The constructed

technical documentation, equipment overall and installation to operation and maintenance

training.

To achieve mission assurance, the NATO Seasparrow Consortium has established an

extensive follow-on support service network that is comprised of Government and

commercial organizations. The Consortium encourages non-consortium nations to utilizethis follow-on support network. Use of this network has proven to be a cost effective way

to achieve and maintain operational readiness of your Seasparrow equipments .Operational readiness is a blend of:

Equipment Readiness

Supporting Systems Readiness

Crew Readiness

Logistic Support Readiness

To achieve operational readiness, the Seasparrow Consortium has constructed a three phase follow-on support approach as detailed in Table 8.0.

8.1 Seasparrow Missile Variants. The RIM-7 Missile is not managed by the NATO

Seasparrow Consortium. Instead it is a U.S. Navy product that is extensively utilized bythe NATO Seasparrow user nations.

8.1.1 RIM-7 Seasparrow Missile. All variants of the Seasparrow Missiles have acomplete array of supporting products and services available to user nations.

8.1.1.1 Seasparrow Training. A formal training program is required to provide

knowledge and skills required to support the Seasparrow missile and its support equipmentat the operational (O) and intermediate (I) levels of maintenance. All available courses can

be tailored to individual case requirements. These are the basic outlines for training

available for the RIM-7. The available Training courses are listed in Table 8.1.1.1.

NSPO-CPH-0001

Rev -1

Existing Department of Defense (DOD) technical publications approved for FMS release

will be provided wherever possible. These technical publications will be written in Englishin the same style and format as USN/USAF technical publications. All technical

publications written to meet unique FMS requirements will carry an FMS prefix.

8.1.1.3 Seasparrow Integrated Logistics Maintenance Facility (ILMF). An IntegratedLogistics Maintenance Facility is required to perform maintenance, testing, and storage of

guided missiles and missile sections. Missiles have to be tested at periodic intervals toensure their reliability. This testing must be accomplished with the potential hazards in

mind. Blast-resistant structures, separation distances, and barricades combine to isolate the

damage resulting from fire and explosion. There are significant advantages for a country inhaving their own ILMF. There is also a significant cost associated with having an ILMF.

Having ones own ILMF means that there are no delays in testing or maintenance for your

missiles. Countries with limited resources may wish to contract their missile testing and

maintenance requirements with other Sparrow missile countries that have an ILMF. Indoing so they do not need to build an ILMF, train personnel, or buy the associated support

equipment. They do have the logistic requirements for missile transportation and schedulesto contend with. Either way a country precedes an ILMF is required to test the RIM-7missile.

8.1.2 RIM-162 Evolved Seasparrow Missile (ESSM).

8.1.2.1 ESSM Training. Table 8.1.2.1 identifies all available related Organizational

Level, Intermediate Level, Processing, and Test Equipment training courses. Request

forms for training can be obtained from the NSPO website or by contacting NSPO, Code542. Training classes, such as the management courses and dockside handling, may be

8.2.1.7 MK 57 Material Condition Assessment (MCA) / Overhaul Support. MK 57

Mod 2-13 Equipment overhauls and MCAs are supported by an array of supportdocuments. In addition, the In-Service Engineering Activity (ISEA) can provide the

special subject matter expertise and materials to facilitate an efficient overhaul experience

of all above decks and below decks NSSMS equipment. In addition, the use of the

Consortium’s Depot to provide overhaul services can be arranged.

8.2.2 Cluster I - III Dutch Configuration (DC) Fire Control System. The Dutch

Configuration Fire Control Systems (DCFCS) are managed very differently than the otherConsortium product lines. First, the Original Equipment Manufacturer

(OEM) for all these systems is Thales. Thales assigns a project number

to a nation’s configuration which represents a unique configuration item

within Thales’ configuration management database. In the original procurement of a Dutch Configuration FCS from Thales, nations defined

its own unique requirements including documentation, sparing and

training. This means that in-service support requirements will be unique

for each nation. It also means that there is no single product or servicewhich is applicable to all user nations or even all projects within those

nations.

When a nation requests NSPO to manage an element of in-service support, a program is

developed and tailored to that nation’s specific needs and requirements at the time of therequest. This approach saves significantly on overhead costs for infrastructure and

resources that may never be used by a nation, and gives each nation the flexibility to define

a program that meets their own needs.

8.2.2.1 DCFCS Support Elements. For each of the established project numbers

(configurations) NSPO provides management support to Consortium PGs in the followingareas:

Technical Assistance/Support

Training. Thales-NL provides training for operators and maintainers, but can

also provide training courses for a comprehensive range of client personnel at

the appropriate levels. The courses can be conducted at Thales-NL'sInternational Training Centre or at the client’s site or onboard ship. It is

assumed that ‘Follow-On’ training of replacement crews and maintenance

personnel will be conducted using the resources of the user of the system.

Support for this continuation training as part of a Follow On Support packagecan be arranged at any time under separate contract arrangements.
