BNS Bangabandhu(ex.Khalid Bin Walid) is the most heavily modified of all Ulsan class frigates and equipped with nato standard electronics,state of the art jamming systems,Otomat Mk 2 Block IV missile and there are other top notch systems which aren't disclosed in public.
Its certainly a top class ship which alone can easily wipe out the entire Burmese fleet of indigenous frigates.Bangladesh navy has been working on data link systems for a long time and step by step they are gonna integrate this system in all the ships.BN already purchased 2 Agusta-Westland AW109 as a first step towards electronic guidance systems which will allow an Otomat or C802 missiles to achieve their maximum ranges with pinpoint accuracy.Without a proper datalink system this missiles are useless beyond some 40 or 50 km range.
Who said that to you man!! look at their guidence systems... Even without the datalink these missiles can hit the target as far as 180km away with 95% acuracy.
Guidence System:
C-802A: innertial and terminal active radar homing.
Otomat MK 2: Innertial, GPS and Terminal Active radar homing.
Mid-course update is available with Otomat and is given with two channels: by the ship itself (TG-1) and with external sources, available in the Agusta Westland AW 109E Power ASW helicopter, that uses TG-2.
Inertial navigation system (INS) uses a computer, motion sensors (accelerometers), GPS/GLONAS and rotation sensors (gyroscopes) to continuously calculate via dead reckoning the position, orientation, and velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the need for external references.
Active radar homing is rarely employed as the only guidance method of a missile. It is most often used during the terminal phase of the engagement, mainly because since the radar transceiver has to be small enough to fit inside a missile and has to be powered from batteries, therefore having a relatively low ERP, its range is limited.
To overcome this, most such missiles use a combination of command guidance and/or an inertial navigation system (INS) in order to fly from the launch point until the target is close enough to be detected and tracked by the missile.
