SAAB UNDERWATER SYSTEMS WEAPON SYSTEMS MCM SYSTEMS DEFENCE SYSTEMS ASW TRAINING SYSTEMS COMMERICIAL SYSTEMS
SHALLOW WATER OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT Baltic Sea conditions Very shallow water (50 m on average) Muddy water, organic material, poor visibility Strong seasonal variation in temperature Layers in temperature and salinity Complicated sound speed profiles High level of reverberation (echo) Poor low frequency transmission
12 ASW/ASUW IN SHALLOW LITTORAL WATERS In order to be an effective ASW/ASuW System for shallow waters, some key characteristics is of special significance. Specifically important is: Adaptation to difficult hydro acoustic conditions (multiple sensors) Safety in terms of true target identification Possibility to control the weapon during an engagement (Update thru CMS sensor input) Physical adaptation to operation in shallow waters Possibility to support realistic ASW training (train as you fight)
SAAB UNDEWATER WEAPONS SYSTEMS ASW /ASUW TORPEDOES KEY FEATURES Developed for shallow water operations (Baltic Sea conditions) Designed with: Combined wire guidance and homing control Variable speed capability with near neutral buoyancy Capability to be launched from a range of platforms Support for realistic ASW training (train as you fight)
14 ASW IN SHALLOW LITTORAL WATERS Operational considerations: Occurrence of islands, maritime traffic results in confined spaces where control of the torpedo is essential. Confined areas often means that targets are often found at short ranges. This results in that the torpedo must operate in homing mode very near the ship itself. Targets may be identified by sonar equipped platforms on opposing sides of islands or stationary objects, requiring torpedo guidance by way-points until reaching the area where homing is possible. A shallow depth requires an ability to launch the torpedo with a minimum of undershoot before stabilization. Re-locating the launching vessel is not always a possibility.
