Surface Combatant Technology
Today, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK is a highly competent systems supplier of naval electronics for surface combatants. The changing security situation and the rising significance of maritime transport are posing new tasks and requirements for all the navies of the world – challenges for which ATLAS ELEKTRONIK is constantly developing new solutions.
Command and Weapon Control Systems
The ATLAS Naval Combat System (ANCS) is a command and weapon control system of the latest generation. The German Navy is equipping its new F125 frigate with the ANCS, making it one of the most powerful warships of its kind on earth.
Thanks to the modular structure of the ANCS, it can be adapted rapidly to different ships and varying requirements. It has all the necessary interfaces to sensors, effectors and communications facilities, with which it can be integrated into network-based operations.
Sonar Systems
Our spectrum of sonars for surface combatants consists of active and passive sonars ranging from the classic bow sonar (hull-mounted sonar, HMS) to low-frequency active towed array sonars, which can satisfy the requirements of almost any conceivable mission scenario with diverse ranges, resolutions and capabilities. For example, the towed array sonars in combination with bow sonars open up a new dimension in anti-submarine warfare, because they surpass the torpedo range of conventionally powered submarines by far.
Integration Capability
ATLAS ELEKTRONIK’s systems for surface combatants distinguish themselves through a high integration capability. A wide range of sensors (e.g. radars, friend/foe identification, AIS transponders) and effectors such as barrel weapons, torpedoes and other types can be included independently of the manufacturer.
Torpedo Defence
Submarines and surface combatants are able to protect themselves even against modern torpedoes. With the SeaSpider, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK has developed a technology that can detect and destroy the attacking torpedoes. This “hard-kill” solution is independent of the torpedo type and therefore highly superior to conventional approaches, which use decoys and similar effectors.
The SeaSpider system is unique worldwide and demonstrates the technological excellence of ATLAS ELEKTRONIK in the field of torpedo countermeasure.
