FDS3 decoy system
In September 2013, Airborne Sys-
tems announced a contract award
from the US Navy to supply a variant
of the FDS3 decoy system – des-
ignated Mk 59 Mod 0 – to meet a

soft-kill self-defence.
In July 2014, it
chalked up another success when
New Zealand selected FDS3 as part
of its ANZAC class Frigate Systems
Upgrade programme. SA Artillery
