Uk used Sampson in combination with S1850M long range radar (for volume search), which is a modified Thales Smart-L. Otherwise, see Thales I-mast 500Seeing these designs, I was wondering if APAR and SAMPSON can both be used together on a single mast. One as volume search radar and the other as Multi function radar. That would remove the need for 2nd mast. And extra VLS cells can be added in it's place. Or even make these 7-10 k ton European ships much lighter if they don't want to increase the fire power.
