The pedestal mounted missile system BORA is a fully automated firing unit launching Stinger missiles. The main mission of BORA is the low level air defence of naval platforms such as frigates & fast attack boats.
The gyro-stabilized turret of BORA enables automatic target tracking and firing capabilities without being effected from the disturbances due to the waves and maneuvers of the ship.
BORA can automatically slew to the coordinates pre-assigned by battleship operation and command control center. It can be operated either from its own control unit at the battleship operation and command control center, or by the multi purpose operator console of the naval platform.
The Fire Control Computer of BORA has a flexible software/hardware infrastructure in order to meet the future mission requirements that may evolve. This flexible infrastructure of BORA enables the integration of different SHORAD/VSHORAD missiles besides Stinger.
