L-3 Klein Wins Finnish Navy Contract
L-3 Klein Associates won a contract for the Finnish Navy which will include three Klein System 5000 high resolution, dynamically focused, multi-beam side scan sonars. The sonars will be part of a suite of sensors that will be installed on the Finnish Navy MCMV 2010 Program. The MCMV 2010 class mine countermeasure vessel is a series of three future multi-purpose mine countermeasure vessels which will be launched in 2010-2012, and will reach operational readiness by 2015. One Klein System 5000 will be delivered annually in 2009, 2010, and 2011. These systems were sold through EIVA a/s, Denmark who has vast experience in design and integration of customized system solutions for applications within the offshore, hydrographic and marine survey industry. The System 5000 is a five beam side scan sonar designed to operate at tow speeds up to 10 knots and with an overall swath width of 300 meters.
predict its acoustic signature, ways of controlling vibration resonance at sea and modular cast cladding to produce a seam-free continuous 'stealth' skin on the submarine. A typical CCD solution for an SSK (conventionally powered submarine) can deliver between 180kW and 300kW output while allowing the submarine to operate underwater for up to 15 days without 'snorting' - surfacing or coming close to the surface to expel fumes and take in air for the diesel. The BAE Systems CCD solution integrates an advanced mounting system to reduce the radiated noise signature, and also controls the individual engine speeds to 'randomize' the frequencies generated into the surrounding ocean, making the submarine more difficult to identify and track.
Navy Releases USV Master Plan
The Navy's Program Executive Officer Littoral and Mine Warfare, Unmanned Maritime Vehicles Program Office has just released its Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Master Plan. The plan will serve as a road map for Navy USV development. The purpose of the USV Master Plan is to ensure industry, academic, government research and international partners are aware of the Navy's USV plans so that they can align their efforts and design systems to meet the Navy's infrastructure and to address current and future warfighter needs. Copies of the plan are available to industry, academia, government research and developments organizations. Copies of the plan can be downloaded from www.navy.mil , Info Index, section U for USV Master Plan, or http://www.navy.mil/navydata/infoInd ex.asp?id=U
Concept Sub Showcases Stealthy Tech
A concept submarine on the BAE Systems stand at the recent DSEi 2007 showcased the technologies designed to help keep submarines become more stealthy. The latest technologies include improved modeling and assessment techniques to determine the effect of an external shock on the submarine, techniques to more accurately
