Independent by design
Sea Tridon incorporates its own gun-mounted electro-optical fire control system, enabling rapid and accurate engagement without relying on external sensors.
Key features
- Integrated electro-optical fire control system
- Independent operation
- Gun-mounted sensors
- Integrated gyro stabilization
- Target intercept calculations
- 30-round ready-use magazine
- Compatible with all Bofors 40 mm ammunition
Built for modern maritime threats
Sea Tridon combines the proven Bofors 40 Mk4 naval gun with an integrated electro-optical fire control system, providing a self-contained solution for detecting, tracking and engaging both air and surface targets.
Designed for naval and non-naval platforms, the system delivers effective protection against modern threats while minimizing integration requirements.
Better coverage
The extended range of the Sea Tridon provides significantly greater area coverage. As a result, fewer ships are required to protect a harbor, while threats can be engaged at longer distances, reducing risk to friendly forces and critical infrastructure.
Sea TridonC
Containerized maritime protection
The Sea TridonC is a containerized version of the Sea Tridon designed to provide civilian and commercial vessels with temporary self-protection in high-risk areas. Optimal for mission modularity or temporary air defense capability.
The modular design enables rapid deployment while minimizing vessel modifications and integration efforts.
Sea TridonC features
-
Containerized solution
-
Below-Deck Loading (BDL)
-
Increased ammunition capacity
-
Flexible C2 arrangements
-
Optional surveillance radar integration
3P programmable all-target ammunition
Any target. Any time.
Sea Tridon and Sea TridonC are fully compatible with the Bofors 3P programmable all-target ammunition.
Unlike conventional ammunition that often requires different rounds for different threats, 3P enables operators to engage aerial, surface and shore-based targets using a single ammunition family.
3P advantages
- Six programmable fuze modes
- Effective against air, surface and shore targets
- Proximity-fuzed engagement capability
- Simplified logistics
- Proven operational performance
GRINDSTONE Effect Simulation Software
Understanding weapon effectiveness is essential when facing modern threats.
GRINDSTONE is BAE Systems Bofors' unique model-based simulation software used to analyse, assess and optimize weapon system performance.
The software allows operators to:
- Model realistic threat scenarios
- Evaluate system effectiveness
- Support tactical development
- Improve training outcomes
- Optimize operational planning
The solution is based on decades of development work, extensive live firing campaigns and advanced system analysis.
