Trelleborg has a wide range of solutions to improve the signature of underwater platforms by reducing radiated noise and target strength.
Our core products include:
- Tiles - Anechoic and decoupling tiles, transmission loss and decoupling materials
- Sonar materials - Replaces glass reinforced plastic for sonar domes and windows
- RhoC materials - Designed to match the impedance and speed of sound in seawater
- Damping materials - Reducing, restricting, or preventing oscillations
- Encapsulation systems - Large and small scale encapsulation of arrays with controlled exotherm
Acoustic Signature Control
The fitting of properly designed acoustic material to submarines and surface ships can achieve a significant reduction in radiated and self-noise. This will decrease the range at which vessels can be detected and classified and frequently has the benefit of increasing the performance of their own sonar systems.
Anechoic Signature Control
In order to reduce the probability of detection by active sonar, it is possible to absorb or scatter the sonar energy, by the application of special coatings to the hull of the ship or submarine, the subsequent reduction in target echo strength can considerably reduce the range at which detection is achieved.
