INNOVATIVE STUDIES AND DEVELOPMENTS INTENDED TO DEVELOP THE SHIPS WITH LOW SIGNATURES

• Physical & mathematical methods of simulating ship signatures (physical fields) such as static magnetic, static electric, alternating electromagnetic signatures in various frequency bands, and hydrophysical signature, etc.;
• Analytical and numerical methods, procedures, as well as software to calculate the parameters of signatures;
• Methods and equipment for managing signatures in time and space;
• Calculation methods for supporting the development of ship design rules with respect to selecting, justifying and optimizing the signature reduction tools and techniques;
• Methods, procedures and equipment for measuring the signature parameters on models and full-scale ships.

SHIP PROTECTION:

Design stage:

• Coordination & finalization of contract specifications;
• Scaled physical modeling;
• Predicting signature levels;
• Finalizing ship concept;
• Developing design rules to reduce ship signatures;

Construction stage:

• Quality control of delivered component equipment for signature management systems;
• Project supervision over introduction of measures intended to ensure signature levels required;

Commissioning stage:

• Preparation of instrumentation systems;
• Control over signature levels of a lead ship;
• Identification of sources generating excessive signature levels;
• Development of additional signature management measures;
• Delivery of the ship to the Customer with respect to signature levels;
• Crew training for proper use of signature management systems.

CREW PROTECTION:

• Development and introduction of recommendations and technical measures for monitoring signatures of facilities and equipment indoors and outdoors;
• Development and introduction of recommendations on protection of crew, equipment and environment from adverse effects of physical fields.
