If required, the moveable highpoint structure can be supplied as part of an integrated form for installation into the ships hull profile. This provides minimum radar cross section properties and avoids projections onto the ships weatherdeck. External weather tight doors can also be supplied for a fully flush profile when stowed. KONGSBERG are happy to work with ship designers and end users to engineer the best solution for the naval platform.
