LACROIX: to demonstrate its full offer of NAVAL Solutions designed for ROK Navy.
LACROIX Defense is proud to take part for the 3rd time as an exhibitor at the MADEX 2019 exhibition, (October 22-25).
At MADEX 2019, the International Maritime Defense Industry Exhibition currently held in Busan, South Korea, the French company LACROIX is showcasing its SYLENA® family of decoy launching systems along with its next generation “corner reflector” SEALEM® decoys.
LACROIX decoy technology has been employed for the past 25 years in the Republic of Korea Navy* amongst ROK NAVY vessels: more than 20 surface ships are fitted with the K-DAGAIE solution (Safran/Sagem launchers with LACROIX decoys). Several of those ships could be upgraded to the K-DAGAIE NG standard. Regarding new and future ROK Navy programs, as well as export programs with major Korean shipyards, LACROIX is proposing its SYLENA MK2 antimissile and anti-torpedo solutions.

Naval Analyst, Xavier Vavasseur, previously reported that « From patrol boats to frigates, the SYLENA range of systems has been developed by LACROIX to offer an optimized solution for ship protection with RF and IIR (Imaging Infrared) SEACLAD decoy effects. Unlike many Decoy Launching Systems which deploy chaff – regarded as outdated with respect to modern electronic warfare due to chaff discrimination systems – SYLENA utilizes corner reflector (CNR) technology.”
