Proud to host

Ministry of Defence (Defence Materiel Organisation),NIDV

MAST Europe 2016, The RAI, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Throughout history, we have all fought others and each other

while trying to stay ahead of one another.

However, over the past number of years advancements in

technology and expanding partnerships have made

cooperation and sharing knowledge key to operational but

more importantly, political success.

At MAST, it is the intention to bring partners and industry, but

also future thinkers alike, together to forge bonds and learn

from those with similar interests. And by doing so staying

ahead of our mutual adversaries.

I am proud to be able to facilitate this year’s MAST Europe

conference and exhibition in The Netherlands and I hope that

the conference will provide each and every one of you the

opportunity to learn from one another, share innovative ideas

and thoughts, but above all meet like-minded partners to

forge partnerships with for the future.

- Lieutenant General R. Verkerk

Royal Netherlands Marine Corps,

Commander Royal Netherlands Navy

MAST Asia: Japan’s only international defence trade-show. Book now!

To all delegates and visitors, I wish a warm and personal

welcome to Amsterdam and MAST Europe 2016, the tenth

anniversary edition.

Capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam is a beautiful old city

with lots of history, culture, energy and entertainment.

This year’s conference will focus on Europe: We live in a time

where the world is faced with large scale religious conflicts,

with Europe experiencing a large influx of refugees from

conflict areas crossing the Mediterranean by boat.

It is also a time where Russia shows its muscles and where

NATO nations, in response, re-focus military planning.

We intend to make this year’s MAST conference a resounding

success: As well as thoroughly interesting presentations and

excellent displays allowing you to see and touch the hardware,

there are naval ships in the port of Amsterdam that will gladly

take visitors on board.

It may be interesting for you to learn of plans for Netherlands

MOD to purchase new submarines, frigates and naval mine

countermeasures.

I look forward to a lot of fruitful discussions leading to

commercial opportunities and to increased, better

international cooperation.

A26 - Capabilities for the Future with Focus on the CombatSystemDr Fredrik Hellstrom, Swedish Defence Materiel Administration(FMV), SwedenIn June 2015, FMV (Swedish Defence Materiel Administration)signed the contract with Saab Kockums AB to finalize thedesign and build and verify two submarine type A26 for theRoyal Swedish Navy.The objective with this paper is to describe the capabilities theA26 submarine will have, with focus on the Combat System.The paper will describe how the submarine will be able to solvethe different tasks: Anti Submarine Warfare; Anti SurfaceWarfare; Intelligence; Mine warfare; Special operationsWhen talking about future submarines in general, andespecially information technology, IT-security is important toincorporate, and this area will also be assessed in the paper. IsA26 able to operate in the fourth dimension; the cyber space?

Leveraging Modularity and Open Architecture for ImprovedOperational Capabilities and Situational Awareness with

38


Lower Lifecycle CostsMr Mike Rose, L-3 KEO, United StatesModularity and open interfaces are a means to increasecapabilities, performance and upgradability without the needfor full system redesign and significant investments. The nextgeneration submarine optronic periscope, is a Modular OpenSystem Architecture (MOSA) design with excess bandwidthcapacity that allows for rapid and streamlined capabilityinsertion by switching out modules. This optronic system hassimilar multi-spectral performance to the existing Photonicsmast, but is composed of separate modules with openinterfaces - a rotational module and separate sensor modules.This paper describes the overall architecture and highlights thevarious benefits the approach provides to the fleet. Thestandalone rotational module enables removal andreinstallation of sensor modules pier side without the need toseparate mated pressure proof connections. This aspectallows for agile development and integration of newcapabilities to the fleet, affordable incremental upgrades assensors mature, and the ability to implement mission-configurable optronic solutions. It achieves this with reducedNon-Recurring Engineering (NRE) burden and lower overalllife-cycle costs. The paper provides system and performancedetails of the optronic periscope and separate modules, andincludes a detailed discussion of the 360 degree imagingmodule and Extended Range Camera (ERC) module. Thesesensors provide an “instantaneous quicklook” and enhancedsituational awareness to the undersea platform. The paperconcludes by describing some future capabilities possible andhow industry partners can participate in integrating theirproven technologies or new sensors into modules for theoptronic mast.

Session 2B: Domain: UnderseaPlatforms I -Submarine Propulsion and Control

Jerry Bradshaw

FASC - The Future of Submarine Control Technology ThatTakes a Novel and Unified ApproachMr Andrew Pfeil, Stirling Dynamics, United KingdomThe future of submarine platform design will require systemsthat improve stealth, increase mobility and provideoperational autonomy whilst reducing operator workload. Inan effort to improve the capabilities of future submarines fornew roles and missions, Stirling Dynamics has developed theFull Authority Submarine Control (FASC) concept. FASC is acombined hydroplane and ballast submarine and submersiblecontrol system which aims to simplify submarine control bytying together all aspects of the hover, trim, ballasting, andsteering & diving control systems into a single interface.Controlling all these systems through a single interface allowsfor more optimised control of the submarine, and reducesmanning requirements and the control complexity for theoperator through the use of software control algorithms andtactile Human Machine Interface (HMI) technology.FASC incorporates an active force-feedback side-stick andsoftware control algorithms, based around the ModelPredictive Control (MPC) approach, which control the trim andcompensation system, hover system and hydroplanesappropriately across the entire speed range. FASC is thereforea departure from traditional submarine steering and divingcontrol systems, consisting of separate automatic controllersfor low speed hover (using ballast only) and higher speed

39


hydroplane operations, with manually operated trim andcompensation. Under the unified FASC approach, benefits inimproved performance and reduced system integration andoperational costs can be realised.With continued internal company investment and externalfunding received from Innovate UK via their SMART scheme,the on-going development of FASC has resulted in the creationof a real-time demonstrator system. Experience in using thisdemonstrator has led to the new insights into the benefits ofFASC and has generated new ideas for the systemdevelopment. This paper presents FASC in the light of thisfurther experience and highlights the latest developments inboth the concept and control algorithms.

Reliable Submarine Propulsion @ SiemensMr Uwe Albrecht, Siemens AG, GermanyAbstract/presentation upon request

Electric Actuation Systems for SubmarinesDr Jerome Gormley, General Atomics Electromagnetics SystemsGroup, United StatesThe cost-benefit analysis for maximum electrification ofsurface ship systems is largely influenced by the benefit ofenabling flexibility to move available power betweenpropulsion, future electrical-power-hungry weapons systems,and/or other mission support systems. The cost-benefitanalysis for electrification in submarines is somewhat differentand less clear. One area that has received significant attention,some development, and fielded some systems is electricactuators. There are wide-ranging requirements betweensubmarine control surface actuators, external hatchactuators, and various large and small internal actuators. Thispaper will survey the status of such systems in use today,discuss some of the cost-benefit considerations, and look tothe near future for this technology as applied to submarines.

Session 2C: Domain: SurfaceCombat Systems BMD

CDRE Andre van Koningsbrugge

Aegis Ashore StatusMr Jesse Greco, Lockheed Martin, United StatesThe AEGIS Ashore program has successfully adapted theproven AEGIS BMD system the land-based application.Thefirst site, named the AEGIS Ashore Missile Defense TestComplex (AAMDTC), has been installed at Pacific MissileRange Facility (PMRF) and is intended for test purposes only.The second site is an operational site located in Deveselu,Romania and met the Technical Capability Declaration (TCD) inDecember 2015. The third site will be located in Poland and isscheduled to be operational in December 2018.The programhas met every major schedule milestone including successfulconduct of CTV-1 in May 2014 at the AAMDTC and a successfulOperational Test of a ballistic missile intercept on 10 December2015 (FTO-02E1a). The program has demonstrated cost andschedule success because it is based on a proven system,which required relatively small computer programadaptations.Field installation, integration and test schedulemilestones have been met due to the use of modular designsfor the AWS equipment including Removable Equipment Units,waveguide hangers, and SPY-1 array frames.This designapproach allows complicated testing and installation efforts tobe completed in a factory production environment and greatlyreduces in-field schedule duration.The AEGIS Ashore mission is

40


restricted to BMD only. However, Anti-Air Warfare capability isinherent to AEGIS and the capability could readily beimplemented.The AEGIS and AEGIS BMD programs havehistory of continued upgrades allowing the system to paceevolving threats.

Sea Based Ballistic Missile Defense Early WarningMr Bart van der Graaff, Thales, NetherlandsIn 2018, the Royal Netherlands Navy will introduce the first offour SMART-L Early Warning Capability (EWC) sensors incontribution to NATO’s Ballistic Missile Defence architecture.The SMART-L EWC is currently being developed by ThalesNetherlands for the Royal Netherlands Navy and onceoperational, it will provide a formidable and flexible LongRange Air Surveillance and Ballistic Missile Defence EarlyWarning capability on board of the four Air Defence andCommand Frigates. This paper will focus on the roadmaptowards achieving an operational BMD Early Warningcapability for the protection of NATO Territory.The unique characteristics (Active Electronics Scanned Array,Multi Beam Processing, the patented Extended Long RangeWaveform, etc.) in combination with the various rotating andstaring operational modes of the new SMART-L EWC radar,will enable a flexible employment of the Air Defence andCommand Frigates in two potential expeditionary roles. Firstthe dynamic Integrated Air and Ballistic Missile Defencecontribution and second the territorial Ballistic Missile Defencerole. For the second role a more static and long endurance andpurely Ballistic Missile Defence focused contribution will berequired. Due to the high level of flexiblity, the SMART-L EWCcan be tailored to detect and track various Ballistic MissileCategories (Short, Medium, and Intermediate Range) and isable to characterise unitary missiles from staging missiles andindividual re-entry vehicles. Interoperability within the AllianceBallistic Missile Defence architecture is assured by adhering toand implementing the NATO standards and requirements onnon-real time (AdatP-3) and real time (Link-16)communications beyond line of sight.The new Ballistic Missile Defence Early Warning mission arearequires an enhancement and refinement of the RoyalNetherlands Navy Maritime strategy as well as thedevelopment of maritime tailored BMD Early Warning Conceptof Operation (CONOPS). The development of this CONOPS isexecuted in close cooperation with BMD subject matterexperts from various sources, who are developing operationaluser cases, based on the National, International and NATOrequirements and tailored to the Maritime environment andrequirements.Along the road towards the actual BMD early warningoperational capability in 2018, various milestones have beendetermined which contributes to the validation and finalizationof this CONOPS. Exercises like Joint Project Optic Windmillseries in which future Network Enabled Capabilities IntegratedFire Control techniques like Cueing and Launch on Remotehave already been explored and will be deepened in upcomingeditions by using advanced hardware in the loop simulations.These type of exercises provide an essential contribution to thedevelopment of the CONOPS. Another important initiative forthe CONOPS development is the Maritime Theatre MissileDefence Forum (MTMD) “At Sea Demo” 2015 (ASD), in whichnumerous experiments were executed .The CONOPS development will also pave the way towards afuture Active Ballistic Missile Defence capability, once the

Optimal Staffing for Future Military Operations –Implications for the Maritime DomainDr Jan Joris Roessingh, NLR Netherlands Aerospace Centre,NetherlandsMr Richard Kist, NLR, NetherlandsStaffing is a key issue when planning operations with newsystems. NLR has developed and proved a methodology forestimating these personnel numbers and is able to indicatewhere gains could be made.The methodology and application are based on operationalambitions (e.g. 24/7 surveillance of a specific area),operational constraints (e.g. the number of available weaponplatforms to complete this task) and personnel constraints (e.g.regulations concerning shift work for personnel, trainingrequirements). The output of the methodology is an optimizedplanning with allocation of crews to tasks, the relative extent towhich resources such as personnel and systems are utilized,etc.Using this methodology, the number of combat ready pilotswas estimated to fulfil the ambition for fighter aircraft foroperations in conflict zones and Quick Reaction Alert (QRA).NLR’s calculations revealed that training requirements had amajor impact on the number of required pilots. Calculationsincluded schemes of what can be achieved when the desirednumber of personnel is not available.Another application focused on operations with an UnmannedAerial System (UAS). NLR proposed a number of ideas fordeploying personnel as efficiently as possible without excessivetask load. The deployment of air crew was optimised withinflight and duty time limitations. Using the methodology,complex timing issues related to the operational concept of theUAS could be optimally resolved. The presentation will explainthe methodology for optimal staffing and discuss applicationto the maritime domain.

Deploying an Intelligent Pairing Assistant for Air OperationCentersDr Jeremy Ludwig, Stottler Henke, United StatesWithin a US Air Force Air Operations Center, planners makecrucial decisions to create the air plan for any given day. Onemajor challenge is making the best use of available resources.For instance, rather than assigning an unmanned aerial vehicleto an intelligence, surveillance, and/or reconnaissancecollection task, it may be more cost effective and expedient tofurther task a manned aircraft that is already operating in thearea. Hurried human planners often overlook opportunities to

43


take advantage of relationships between tasks.This paper describes the Intelligent Pairing Assistant (IPA)decision aid, which uses encoded expert knowledge to analyzethe data and present recommendations at specific decisionpoints in the planning process. IPA assists planners in makingtheir decisions by generating recommendations that narrowdown the possibilities that must be considered. Specifically, IPAfilters the existing missions to highlight those most likely to beable to meet a specific collection request or set of requests. IPAthen provides additional information for these missions in agraphical format to help the planner quickly decide among theavailable missions.IPA is deployed as a plug-in to a software system already inuse within US Air Force Air Operations Centers. The primarycontributions of this case study are applying artificialintelligence techniques to the air planning domain anddiscussing the software evaluation efforts in moving from aprototype to a deployed system.

SchIBZ - Improved Power Network with Fuel CellsMr Keno Leites, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, GermanySchIBZ ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems and 6 partners fromindustry and science developed a fuel cell system for seagoingvessels. The unique feature of this system is the use of lowsulphur diesel oil as fuel.The system is based on solid oxide fuel cells coupled with aunique reforming unit for the diesel fuel and connected with anenergy buffer. The components are modular so power outputsroughly between 50 and 500kW per systems can be realized.The advantages of the system are a high electrical efficiency,around 50%, very low gaseous emissions without exhausttreatment, low heat radiation and noise, very low maintenancedue to few active components, possibility for heat recovery forfurther energy efficiency, high intrinsic redundancy and thepossibility to reduce the power installed on board.Additionally the safety of energy supply can be increased bydecentralized installation of the units on board of vessels.Furthermore, the system offers advantages for transportable,remote power supply when installed in container.The consortium is actually in the phase of the construction of a50kW demonstrator which is going to be installed onboard amerchant vessel for several months of sea trials in 2016. It isplanned to offer the system commercially after that successfultest.Further development activities will comprise adaption to otherfuels, improvements at the electrical side and scaling.The proposed paper will present the results of the laboratorytests and the first phase of the demonstrator tests as well asan outlook for further development of the technology andapplication.

Alternative Energy Systems for Naval VesselsDr Urs Vogler, DNV GL, GermanyThis paper highlights lessons learned from implementing newtechnologies for electric power supply on-board civilian vesselsand their potential for employment on-board of naval vessels.In particular, recent developments for cruise vessels in the fieldof fuel cell and battery technology are of relevance.

Experiences of Shipboard Firefighting with CuttingExtinguishersMr Anders Trewe, Cold Cut Systems Svenska AB, SwedenFor the last 15 years, cutting extinguishers and the cuttingextinguisher method have been used in thousands and yetthousands of fire interventions by municipal firefighters aroundthe globe.The numbers of cutting extinguishers installed on ships are fewin comparison to the numbers in use by the fire and rescueservices. Adding the higher level of safety awareness on-boardnaval vessels, compared to the general public, naval shipboardfires, and thus experience, tend to be scarce. It’s hard to findreal cases.However, in many areas, special units from municipal fire andrescue services, such as Maritime Intervention ResponseGroups and similar teams, are assigned to shipboardfirefighting when vessels are near or alongside quays. Theseunits are trained to fight fires on board ships and have greatroutine and experience in fighting fires, on-board as well as onshore.Cross-discipline learning is crucial to reach high efficiency inintroducing new technology and methods. This paper willdescribe and illuminate the experiences, procedures andmethods from fighting real fires on-board ships using theextinguisher and its method. It will also conclude in lessonslearned from the actual incidents.

Session 3A: Domain: UnderseaSonar I – Towed Arrays

Dr. David Wyllie

Fully Utilizing the Water Column with Towed ArraysMr Thorsten Bochentin, ATLAS Elektronik GmbH, GermanyTowed receive arrays are now being used with medium andlow frequency (MF respective LF) active sonars. MF and LFfunctionality can be combined in a single “nested” passiveantenna. But the demands on a LF sonar receiver utilized inlong range ASW detection differ from those on a MF receiverutilized in medium range submarine and in torpedo detection(TDCL). Long range detection with active LF sonar in a

45


multistatic LF architecture usually demands relatively deepplacement of the antenna within the water column. TDCL is“close-in” in character and the torpedo attacking a surfaceship operates of necessity close to the surface, especially in theattack phase. This demands relatively shallow placement ofthe passive array. The two requirements are not fullycompatible, especially if the Sound Velocity Profile (SVP) is suchthat a strong thermocline acts as a de facto barrier. Theplacement of a “nested” passive antenna is therefore acompromise between differing operational demands.Using separate antennas, which can be individually adjusted totheir respective optimal towing depth in the given SVP, forbistatic MF and mono- or multistatic LF can solve this dilemma.Combining both antennas on a single tow is feasible by utilizingan innovative array design minimizing shipboard footprint andoperational complexity. This offers uncompromisedperformance and avoids the necessity for an additional “tow”.Even within a single frequency regimen, benefits can beachieved by placing multiple receiving antennas at differentdepths within the water column.

The Resolution Performance of Left-right Ambiguity forTwin-line ArrayProfessor Qihu Li, Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy ofScience, ChinaUnderwater towed array system has been interested in thearea of sonar design and ocean develop research since earlyof last century. Specially in last 30 years, there are manyresearch reports were published. In the military applicationarea, the single line array sonar can’t identify whether thetarget come from left or right, this is so called “Left/rightambiguity” problem. i.e., when the sonar system detect atarget, it can’t make decision if the target is in the left (port) orright (starboard) of the towed platform. Of course, themaneuver of platform can partially solve this problem, but it isnot always possible in sonar operation. The triple elementcombination of hydrophone can provide the information ofleft/right targets, but the application is limited by theoperational frequency band and the diameter of towed linearray.Multiple line array system provides the possibility to solveleft/right ambiguity problem. But there are no theoreticalcriteria yet, with which can evaluate the ability of a multiple linesystem in identifying left/right target. The identification abilityof twin-line array system is discussed in this paper. The systemresponse in the direction of incidental angle of the target overthe value of opposite symmetrical direction is defined as theindex to distinguish left/right target. This ratio is calledsuppression ratio (SPR) for twin-line array. The method andalgorithm presented in this paper is for twin-line array, but itcan be straightforward to extend to the case of multiple linearray system.

Compact Towed Array Capability for Small SubmarinesMr Richard Williams, ATLAS Elektronik UK, United KingdomLarge submarines have the capacity for deploying large-aperture towed sonar arrays. As a consequence, SSNs andlarge SSKs (3000+tonne) have the potential to exploit asignificant passive sonar advantage over their smaller rivals,taking advantage of low-frequency long-range propagation. Akey factor in the realisation of effective towed array capabilityis the overall size of the handling system and total array volumewhen winched inboard.ATLAS ELEKTRONIK UK is developing compact modular towed

46


array handling systems with a high degree of flexibility inconfiguration. This allows for the maximum aperture of reel-able towed array to be fitted on board, even the most confinedSSK platforms. This presentation provides details of AEUK’smodular handling system solutions and attempts to quantify(albeit with simplified assumptions) the potential benefits thatsuch a system could confer compared to a more conventionalhull-mounted sonar suite.

Detection and Classification of Vessels based on Multi-Influence Signature Correlation AnalysisMr Francisco Javier Rodrigo, SAES (Sociedad Anonima deElectronica Submarina), SpainMr Antonio Sanchez Garcia, SAES (Sociedad Anonima deElectronica Submarina), SpainIn the defence field, the reduction of the vessel’s multi-influencesignature, as a mean to reduce their detectability, configuresnowadays as a vital importance element to accomplish theirmissions and even for their own survival. During the last times,this interest has also moved towards the civilian vessels field,centred mainly in the reduction of the marine environmentpollution due to the different energy radiations generated byvessels. In this context, this study centres on the use of thevessel’s multi-influence signature as a basis to perform firstlytheir detection and secondly their classification from theresults of the analysis of correlation among their set ofsignatures. It is based on real signals from vessels obtainedwith the Multi-Influence Measurement System, MIRS. The useof this technique permits to increase the capability of use of theMIRS system in fields as the Mine Warfare or the protection ofharbour environments, acting either as an independentsystem or integrated with other sensors, such as the AISsystem or surveillance cameras, which collaborate together inthe classification process. At the same time this techniquepermits to configure databases of classified contact multi-influence signatures in an automated way.

Adaptability of Electric Platform Systems (EPS)Mr Dieter Scholz, Siemens AG, GermanyMr. Michael Moersch, Siemens AG, GermanyThe tendency / trend of Navies not to opt for discreteindigenous submarine designs (with well-known advantagesand disadvantages) but partnering with other Navies andfollowing the idea of “Pooling and Sharing” by going forsubmarine designs also used by other “friendly” Navies resultsto new aspects and requires extended technical features forElectric Platform Systems (EPS).Using the same submarine design in different Navies doesn’tnecessarily go along with resignation of operational,

International Replenishment at Sea: Achieving andMaintaining a Validated Simulation CapabilityMs Louisa Stewart, Systems Engineering & Assessment (SEA),United KingdomThe UK MOD has, over several years, participated in a NATOProject Arrangement to develop and validate an internationalRAS simulation capability, which is based on HLA, andavailable to all participating nations. The IRAS PA has recentlybeen concluded, and the capability is now available for use.The goal of the IRAS simulation is to enable the rapidassessment of the performance of supply and receiving shipsduring RAS operations. In particular, inclusion of fullhydrodynamic forces including interaction forces between thetwo hulls allows the generation of an operating envelope forany two ships. This is particularly valuable in situations where arequirement arises for international cooperation using shipsnot previously operated together.The UK has made a significant contribution to IRAS, includingthe supply of simulation modules and validation evidence forthe capability. The paper gives an overview of the IRASsimulation as operated by the UK, summarises the robust

48


validation evidence now available for individual UK federatesas well as UK federations, discusses the process required touse the simulation to rapidly generate operationalrecommendations for two ships performing RAS, and presentsa set of example results from the IRAS simulation.

Simulation-based Investigation of Multi-VesselHydrodynamic Interactions during Replenishment at SeaOperationsDr Christopher Norwood, Defence Science and Technology Group,AustraliaReplenishment At Sea (RAS) operations are recognised as oneof the most challenging naval seamanship evolutions.Commanding officers must decide on the most appropriatereplenishment speed, heading and vessel separation distancebased on consideration of the wave environment, the relativesize and shape of the vessels and their loading conditions. Dueto the close proximity of the vessels, complex hydrodynamicinteractions develop between the hulls and impact both themotions and manoeuvring capability of each vessel. TheDefence Science and Technology Group (DST Group) isundertaking a research program into multi-vesselhydrodynamic interactions during RAS. This program aims tovalidate numerical seakeeping tools to enable development ofenhanced operator guidance for RAS operations.This paper provides an overview of a simulation-basedinvestigation of RAS evolutions between a Landing HelicopterDock (LHD) and a supply vessel. RAS operations involvingthese vessels are of particular interest to the Royal AustralianNavy given that the supply vessel is unconventionally thesmaller of the two vessels. The purpose of the simulation-based study is to shape the development of a future model testprogram. The resulting experimental data set will be utilised asa case study for validating the chosen simulation method.Numerical analysis has been performed using thecommercially available frequency domain seakeeping codeWaveload-FD. These simulations are focussed on examininghow the multi-vessel hydrodynamic interactions are influencedby forward speed, sea direction and separation distance(lateral and longitudinal). Directions for future work are alsoprovided.

Within the worldwide market today, there are many vehicleand sensor suppliers that provide excellent solutions withintheir domains. Un-manned and autonomous vehicle platformsare provided with flexible mission management systems andcommunications means, sensor and effector packages provideexcellent performance in difficult environments. To deliverreliable and operable capability with off-board systemsnecessitates the successful integration of the vehicle platformand sensor/effector packages into a capability centric systemwithin a modular, highly operable mission package while at thesame time supporting the ability to reconfigure missionpackages from a suite of potential vehicle and sensor/effectorequipment. This drive to modular payloads working togetherwith short in-field reconfiguration timescales places challengeson the integration paradigm for off-board systems andrepresents a change in the approach needed to delivercapability. This paper outlines possible approaches andsuggests design issues that need to be considered in bothfuture vehicle and sensor/effector payload development.

Automated Data Analysis for Mine Warfare Sonar SystemsMr Tory Cobb, U.S. Navy, United StatesOver the past twenty years the U.S. Navy has invested in sonar

50


automated target recognition (ATR) technology developmentwith aims of reducing tactical mine countermeasure (MCM)timelines by decreasing the operator workload and improvingMCM performance. Here we provide an overview of side-looksonar ATR and two new technology thrusts that aim to 1)automatically incorporate operator feedback to improveperformance and 2) improve the operator’s situationalawareness by characterizing human operator or ATRperformance in situ. Side-look sonar ATR has beendemonstrated on a variety of side-scan and syntheticaperture systems, including real-time embedded systems.Active learning algorithms use an operator’s calls to retrainATR on-the-fly and improve performance in heretoforeunseen environments. Performance estimation technologyseeks to provide a real-time estimate of expected ATR correctclassification rates using sensor/platform diagnostics orenvironmental information. The technology overview ispresented within an overarching transition strategy that seeksto improve operator trust in ATR technology by relying on atransparent and cohesive collaboration of government,academic, and industry partners.

Mine Hunting Performance of Synthetic Aperture SonarSystemsMr Lothar Berniere, Thales Underwater Systems, FranceThe use of synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) in mine huntingoperations is a relatively new concept. Highly resolved sonarimages enable detailed inspection of the sea bottom structureand the level of detail allows detecting virtually every object onthe sea floor. As a consequence, the number of detectedcontacts is not only significantly greater than for classicalforward looking mine hunting systems but the average contactsize is decreased as well; a fact that poses high demands onthe systems classification performance.This paper discusses the mine hunting operation process withparticular focus on contact classification and its relation toNATO risk doctrines. Some trade-offs are illustrated bycomparing the mine hunting performance of four typical SASconfigurations. The quantitative assessment shows thatA mandatory driver in mine hunting performance is the sonarresolution. The SAS resolution must be at least 5 cm. It is notpossible with a resolution cell larger than 5 cm to conduct amine hunting operation due to poor classificationperformance.Data obtained with a GFS (gap filler sonar) have no addedvalue for mine hunting operation since the resolution isinsufficient for mine classification.Multi-View Single Path (MVSP) systems, i.e. SAS systemsproviding multiple views in one single track enable tosignificantly reduce the number of ambiguous contacts. OnlyMVSP systems allow efficient mine hunting in situations wherethe area can be covered only once. It is shown that broadside-only systems require more than one survey in order to obtainreasonable classification performance.MVSP SAS is fundamental for robust ATR (Automatic TargetRecognition) and operator classification.

Range Sidelobes Suppression for MIMO Sonar Short-RangeImagingProfessor Qihu Li, Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy ofScience, ChinaTo suppress the range sidelobes for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) sonar imaging system, long sequences and theloss of white Gaussian noise gain are inevitable for traditional

51


mismatched filtering. Nevertheless, for the short-range sonarimaging application, long sequences are easily to maketransmitting waveforms and echoes mixed with each other,and the loss of white Gaussian noise gain is harmful to thenoise suppression effect. For suppressing the range sidelobesand avoid excessive loss of noise gain, we propose an improvedmismatched filtering method. Our method contains two steps.Firstly, short orthogonal polyphase coded sequences arechosen and optimized by the simulated annealing (SA)algorithm to suppress the range sidelobes initially. Then, underthe restriction of losing little white Gaussian noise gain,mismatched filters are used to process the optimizedsequences to suppress the range sidelobes further. Numericalsimulation examples are given for demonstrating theeffectiveness of our method.

The Impact of Uncertainty on Signature Monitoring andSusceptibility PredictionDr Christopher Norwood, Defence Science and Technology Group,AustraliaOnboard signature monitoring systems are a key emergingtechnology allowing ships and submarines to have knowledgeof their signature in “real time”. These signature estimatesprovide the command with more up to date informationregarding the platform signature. The estimates can also beused to predict the detection range and range advantageagainst a variety of threats. These predictions utiliseknowledge of the threat, the environment and the backgroundin addition to the signature information. Each of these has anuncertainty or probability distribution associated with it. Thismeans that there is not a single detection range for theplatform for a particular threat. Instead the susceptibility isrepresented by a probability distribution. This paper examinesthe uncertainty associated with the background noise, andtransmission loss for acoustic susceptibility and shows theeffect of the uncertainty for prediction of acousticsusceptibility.

Modelling of the Magnetic Signature of Submarines andNaval Surface ShipsDr Rikard Nelander, SAAB Kockums AB, SwedenMr Per Granberg, SAAB Kockums AB, SwedenThe magnetic signature of a submarine or a naval surface shiparises from induced and permanent magnetization in theferromagnetic structural parts of the ship. The magnitude ofthe magnetization in the structure exhibits large variations andis dependent on several internal parameters, such as thecrystalline structure, geometric form as well as the magneticproperties of the different magnetic materials. Externalparameters, such as direction and strength of the earthmagnetic field, mechanical stress variations in theferromagnetic structural parts also have a large impact on themagnetic state of the vessel. Due to a complex interplaybetween the different internal and external parameters theprediction of the magnetic signature of a submerged vesselbecomes difficult.A powerful method to increase the understanding of themagnetic signature problem is to use computer modelling ofboth the vessel and its degaussing system. By combining thenumerical modelling with laboratory results from magnetic

52


and magneto-mechanical experiments on different hullmaterials, a deeper insight is obtained in the understanding ofthe magnetic signature problem.Some general aspects on the computer modelling of themagnetic signature of submarines and naval surface shipsequipped with a degaussing system will be presented. Themodelling has also given the possibility to study the impact ofenvironmental parameters on the magnetic signature andhow the operational handling will influence the signatureproperties.

Tool Improvement for Naval Propeller DesignMr G.J.D. Zondervan, MARIN, NetherlandsThe development and application of tools for the design andanalysis of ship propellers is a core business of MARIN in itsprovided services. Since its creation in the 1930’s, MARIN is atthe forefront of the development of ship propellers. Over manydecades, MARIN has been able to build its propellerknowledge, in particular in research projects for the RoyalNetherlands Navy and with feedback from a large range ofships.In this paper, after a historical review of the development of theart of propeller design at MARIN, a description is given of thecurrent state-of-art in the design (optimization) and analysis ofnaval propellers. Both experimental (Depressurized wavebasin) as well as numerical techniques are shown that arecurrently in use at MARIN. It shows, how modern tools can givean improvement of performance on ships sailing today leadingto an beneficial operational cost impact.

Performance Verification of a Submarine Air ConditioningSystemMr Jan Wilgenhof, MecDes, NetherlandsIn a conventional submarine the energy consumption isimportant because of the limited battery capacity and some ofthe large energy consumers are the cooling systems.The equipment waste heat is partly removed by liquid coolingsystems and partly by the air conditioning system, which alsoremoves metabolic heat and water vapour produced by thecrew. High air temperatures in the compartments must beavoided in view of crew endurance and equipment limits (inparticular electronics). In the first design stage the airconditioning cooling power is estimated. In the following detaildesign stage it is desired to verify the performance capabilitywith the then available data on structure details, insulation,deck covering, accommodation separation walls, etc., as wellas ventilation duct arrangement and air flow rates. Besidesperformance verification it is also desired to know resultingtemperatures in the compartments in different sailingconditions. A conventional heat balance, performed for staticconditions, cannot provide this because it assumes fixed(maximum allowable) space temperatures.Therefore a dynamic air energy balance has been developedas a software tool that simulates the heat transfer with theenvironment and the heat transfer between the spaces in thesubmarine as well as the thermal contribution of the ventilationflow. Equipment and crew are included as heat sources.The tool has been further developed by addition of severaltypes of air cooling equipment.Several heat exchanger models were developed: a dry aircooler model and a cooling coilmodel (as applied in an air conditioning unit) which cools the airand decreases humidity.This model provides the temperature and humidity ratio

53


difference as well as sensible and latent cooling power. Thismodel was developed using test results of air conditioning unitsand will be concisely discussed. In this way the tool enablescalculation of the resulting temperature in each space in thesubmarine as well as humidity.A number of examples will be presented, which demonstratethe functioning of the model.The installed cooling power, defined as nominal cooling power,will result in lower compartment temperatures than themaximum allowable in a certain sailing condition. By adjustingthe cooling power downward the available power margin canbe found. Then the average power consumption for this sailingcondition can be found.The new software tool enables faster and more efficientanalysis, in particular if a lot of submarine operation conditionshave to be analysed; demonstration of compliance withbuilding specification requirements; optimization of the coolingpower distribution over the spaces; finally it provides moreaccurate energy consumption data for the submarineendurance and range calculations.

Because of a very simple truth: ‘Low risk, Highgains, Poor people.’ So where is the solution? I can start bystating where it is not. It is not on board a ship at sea becauseit is a difficult environment, with limited resources. What a shiphas when it departs port is what it has when it encounters athreat. You cannot increase personnel or equipment at amoments notice, or change protocol or defences, and there arenot the resources to detect and rectify the costly humanfailings (64% in 2014 resulting in success for the attackers) Sothe solution is to move the problem to a controlled environmenton land. In a controlled land based environment the equationchanges dramatically. And a different approach can be madeto the three elements: • Warning: Early guaranteed and filteredthreat detection with 12sec SLA. • Tactical defence: Stopping athreat without lethal force but before it can board the vessel. •Recovery: The ability to covertly hear, see, communicate andtake remote control of a hijacked vessel, within hours or evenminutes of the event. The technology now exists for thisparadigm shift to take place, and obtain a workable solutionfor less than 15% of armed guards. A solution that can work24/7 365 world wide. In port, At anchor, on the high sea.

Regulation of Private Maritime Security Companies, UK/EUand International Regulatory FrameworkMs Helen Tung, Chambers of Helen Tung, AustraliaThe rise of Private Maritime Security Companies (PMSCs2) hasseen their role as actors in the maritime security sector andone to stay. The pending questions surrounding their legalpresence is one much debated. I would like to examine theUK/EU and relevant International rules and regulationssurrounding PMSCs2. More over I would like to examine thetheory and practice of such rules and case scenarios wherestakeholders may find themselves in. This paper will look atpossible gaps, areas to examine and ways to move forward inrelation to the maritime security sector.

Situation Assessment in the Context of Piracy ThreatDr Grzegorz Taberski, ITTI sp. z o.o., PolandCurrently many vessels crosses areas in which the piracyattack is a risk. Having this in mind a number of organizations,such as IMO, IMB or UKMTO, have issued special guidelines andprovide help for those who might be attacked. On the basis ofthe past incidents we could draw a conclusion that insignificant number of cases the pirate attack was detected toolate to implement proper countermeasures. This implies thatthe captain’s situational awareness should be supported bysolutions providing the common operational picture (COP) ofthe environment.The proof-of-concept of such system is already beingdeveloped in the FP7 IPATCH project (Intelligent PiracyAvoidance using Threat detection and CountermeasureHeuristics) founded by EC (grant number 607567). This systemwill include sensors deployed on the ship, tracking algorithmsfor the nearby vessels and specific modules, i.e. situationassessment, threat detection and decision support.This paper presents the concept the situation assessmentmodule, being developed in IPATCH project, aimed at providinga captain with well-structured common operational picture.For this reason, dedicated situational features and relations,which strictly define specific situational characteristics, havebeen designed. The picture will be based on macro (using GISdata) and micro analyses of the situation (using ship tracksprovided by other IPATCH system module). The data modelproposed within the paper represents comprehensiveapproach for maritime situation, which could be useful not onlyfor IPATCH project, but also for other systems which need aholistic understanding of the maritime environment.

A new Dataset for Maritime SurveillanceMr Tom Cane, BMT Group Ltd, United KingdomCurrently, there is a lack of publically available datasets for thescientific community and industry to use for the developmentand testing of maritime sensing and surveillance solutions. Toaddress this, the IPATCH and AUTOPROTECTION projectshave created a maritime surveillance dataset which consists ofsynchronised data from 13 visible and thermal camerasmounted on a vessel, plus radar, AIS and navigational sensors.The dataset was captured by acting out variations of 16different scenarios around a vessel to generate interestingevents for maritime surveillance applications. The scenariosare based on real-life piracy incidents, developed and refinedby a panel of experts. They include ‘normal’, ‘suspicious’ and‘threatening’ behaviours, involving varying numbers of targets(speedboats, ‘skiffs’, fishing boats, etc.).In total, the dataset consists of 59 sequences recorded by 17sensors mounted on the vessel and is fully annotated to allowfor development and performance evaluation of objectdetection, tracking and threat recognition algorithms. Thedataset is unique in the sense it comprises a suite ofheterogeneous sensors covering 360° around the vessel.This paper describes the sensors and scenarios included andthe methodology used to generate the dataset. Results fromthe IPATCH project are also presented, to show how thedataset is being actively used to develop maritime surveillancesolutions.

The future in ASW training and evaluationMr Carl-Marcus Remén, SAAB Underwater Systems AB, SwedenTraining aids to enhance the performance of a ship’s crew hasalways been a vital part of any Navy. To take these trainingrecourses/ASW targets to the next level Saab DynamicsUnderwater Systems AB has developed and delivered theunique unmanned autonomous vehicle the AUV 62 AT(Acoustic Target) to Navies worldwide. With a long history inthe field of ASW and the experience from development ofadvanced torpedoes and AUV´s Saab now strengthen itsproduct portfolio with new simulation and training productthat can mimic realistic submarine. The AUV62-AT vehicle caneasily be configured as an Artificial Target using a PayloadModule with a Noise Transmitter and advanced EchoTransponders. It is thereby used to resemble a true Submarinefor operator training, as well as onboard ASW sonar andcommand system check-up. This paper will have its focus onboth the AUV 62 AT Vehicle and the operational experiencetogether with the Swedish Navy.

Flexible Combat Systems ArchitecturesMr Christopher Knowlton, Naval Surface Warfare Center DahlgrenDivision, United StatesFlexible, adaptable, and standardized combat systemsarchitectures (functional, physical, and computational) arefoundational for rapid and deliberate implementation ofadvanced technologies and emerging warfighting concepts.Flexibility enables warships to outpace threat advances andadapt to new mission requirements throughout their 30+ yearlifespan, ensuring continued effectiveness and relevanceacross the operational environments of today and tomorrow.The United States Navy is applying architectural precepts toadvance both the functional and physical flexibility of itscombat capability. The combat system functional referencearchitecture provides a framework for allocating andassessing new capabilities in alternative tactical and physicalinstantiations across the projected spectrum of missions andenvironments. Modernization plans built from the referencearchitecture enable each new combat system baselinedelivery to increase the flexibility and adaptability of theresident architecture. Key insights into developmentalstrategies such as Flexible Warship, combat system productline architecture, tactical power management, and total shipapproaches spanning combat system architectures,mechanical system architectures and ship naval architecturewill be discussed. These efforts are paramount to maintainingcurrent warfighting relevance as well as effecting theadvancement and integration of a new generation of electricweapons which must deploy seamlessly alongside thetraditional warfighting capabilities of the force.

Bio-Inspired Nanotechnology for Future Naval SystemsApplicationsDr David John Webster Hardie, ATLAS Elektronik UK Ltd, UnitedKingdomNanotechnology promises a revolution in science andengineering. Already there are a number of solutions,particularly in material science that could have significantimpact in the maritime and ultimately naval domain. Nano-particles already provide the means for reduced maintenance

56


and improved robustness through their use in advancedpaints. Composites with nano-particle reinforcement offerincreased strength, reduced weight and design flexibility formaritime craft.An important feature for any future designs is the examinationof biological solutions on the micro and nano-scales. Heremacromolecules and cellular structures have been honed overmillennia under the pressure of evolution. Advances inprotective coatings, novel stealth measures and improvedautonomy are key applications. This overview attempts tohighlight some of the areas of research and cite a fewexamples where nanotechnology could provide an increase inthe overall reliability, availability and capability of navalsystems.

The Projection of Cyberpower from the MaritimeEnvironmentMr Adrian Venables, Lancaster University, United KingdomCyberspace and cyberpower are terms that are nowcommonly used in in a range of operational contexts, but areaccepted as being notoriously difficult to define and measure.This paper builds on previous research to propose a novelmethod to model cyberspace in three dimensions and apply itto the maritime environment. The unique properties ofcyberspace have been acknowledged as a means to projectpower and influence, the aim of which is ultimately to alter thebehaviour of a target audience and as it does not recognisenational borders, it can be used to directly engage withpopulations that are prevented from accessing informationdeemed subversive or contrary to government policy. Theability of maritime forces to be mobile, yet able to maintain apersistent presence in an operational environment is a well-developed technique of combining both the hard powerattributes of coercion and threats supported by physical forcewith the soft power qualities of persuasion and culturalattraction. By combining the strengths of the maritimeoperating environment with the characteristics of cyberspace,a range of methods and procedures are proposed by whichcyberpower could be used to directly target a local audience aspart of a wider information operations campaign. Whencombined with techniques used to determine the effectivenessof web based commerce, this provides a means to measurethe overall success of a campaign of maritime cyberpowerprojection.

A Bandwidth Efficient Encryption Algorithm for MaritimeSecurityDr Gerard Vidal, Enigmedia, SpainMaritime security is widely used for military purposes, fromsensor networks to critical infrastructures. Main drawbacks ofthese systems are bandwidth expensiveness and latency.When encryption is required these limitations become evenmore important due to implications on the quality of thereceived signal. Major reasons are the use of overheads anddifficulties to recover damaged encrypted information, forcingto resend it.These problems appear in real-time transmissions such asaudio or video in military communications, as well asbandwidth constrained channels, which can jeopardizemaritime security.We present a novel encryption algorithm which assures bothsecurity and resource efficiency called Enigmedia CryptoSystems. In order to verify that we have done speed tests, tomeasure the performance and efficiency, and quality tests, to

57


measure how Enigmedia improves the subjective quality invideo and audio transmissions.Efficiency has been compared against OpenSSLimplementations and transmissions against an OpenVPN,resembling a standard configuration. Results showed thatthere is no perceptible degradation of the system when usingEnigmedia, versus a clear perceptual degradation in the caseof OpenVPN. Besides, Enigmedia is x20 times more efficientthan AES-256-CBC in Intel processors. It is important toremark that all these results have been verified by thirdparties.As a conclusion, we present a solution for maritime securitypurposes which is portable, efficient and purely software whichfits perfectly even in 16-bit processors.Type of presentation: lecture – including a demo (benchmark oftechs)Target audience: technical specialistsShort BIO: Gerard Vidal, Founder & CEO of EnigmediaTelecommunications Engineer with a PhD in Physics, Gerardhas past experience as Head of R&D for Scientifica,participating in a project at CERN (European Organization forNuclear Research).

Bernie Myers

The Hunt for Buried ObjectsDr Augustinus Beckers, TNO, NetherlandsSearching for buried objects in the maritime domain remainsan important area of interest for both military and civilapplications. Various technologies have a potential to enableobject detection in the top layer of sediment. An importantclass of solutions relies on low frequency sonar of which thewaves penetrate into the sediment. Despite the difficultconditions that are related to finding object responses in highlyreverberant conditions, it can be demonstrated that low-frequency sonar really allows the detection of buried objects.TNO has been working on maturing and testing technologybased on wide band low frequency synthetic aperture sonar.Experimental results of these tests will be shown.

Wideband Multiple-Frequency MCM Synthetic ApertureSonar (SAS)Dr Richard Brothers, ATLAS Elektronik UK, United KingdomWideband sonar technology has been developed to exploit theenhanced information from transmissions over at least twooctaves. The proposed design is sufficiently lightweight andpower efficient that it may ultimately be incorporated within anATLAS ELEKTRONIK UK Vision 600 Synthetic Aperture Sonar(SAS) system on a medium sized UUV. This wideband SAS iscapable of gathering high resolution images of objects on theseabed and lower water column, and combining them withstructural responses from target objects. This providesinformation about the material nature of the objects as well astheir external form. The system is also capable of detectingand classifying buried objects aiming at a comprehensive androbust MCM solution.

Operational modelling for the next-generation mine countermeasures capabilityDr Robbert van Vossen, TNO, NetherlandsDr Bart van Oers, Defence Materiel Organisation, NetherlandsDr Augustinus Beckers, TNO, NetherlandsMany European nations are considering to modernize orreplace their mine countermeasure (MCM) capability. It isanticipated that for these replacement MCM-capabilities,unmanned and untethered systems (named UxVs hereafter)will play a prominent role in achieving a more effective andmore efficient MCM-capability. The exact role to be played byUxVs is not very clear, however, for two main reasons. First, alarge variety of unmanned systems is already available fromindustry, with many more to come in the near future. This raisesthe question as to which unmanned system, of whatcombination of unmanned systems, is most suited to conductfuture MCM-operations. Second, the introduction ofunmanned systems requires a change in their concept ofemployment as different sets of unmanned systems fight indifferent ways, occasionally complemented by conductingMCM-tasks with the MCM-mothership. As a result, assessingthe relation between particular sets of unmanned systems, theassociated concepts of employment and the operationaloutcome is complicated. To make matters worse, exact choicefor the suite of unmanned systems drives the design of theMCM-mothership and her crew. As such, choosing a sub-optimal set of unmanned systems carries considerable riskfrom an operational, technical and financial point of view. Togain insight in the factors influencing the selection of the set ofunmanned MCM-systems, TNO, together with the DefenceMateriel Organisation and the Royal Netherlands Navy haveconducted a range of variations using agent-basedsimulations with the HOLON-framework to assess their impacton the time required to finish the MCM-operation. Amongst thevariations were the following: Concept of employment; Types ofUxVs in MCM toolbox; Number of UxVs in toolbox; Stand-offdistance; Bottom-typeThe paper will discuss these simulations and their results. It willuse them to identify several key drivers that influence the typeand number of UxV in the toolbox. For example, the paper willillustrate how the same efficiency can be achieved in differentways. Furthermore, it will highlight how the simulationapproach can help identify bottlenecks, i.e., characteristics thathave a big impact on the time required to complete the MCM-operation, as well as find important trade-offs to beconsidered. In summary, the simulations discussed in the paperhave been and will continue to be essential to guide work on

Underwater Capability – A National AssetMr Hans Wicklander, SAAB Kockums AB, SwedenSweden has defined underwater capability as an essentialnational security interest. This paper will discuss why and whatimpact this has on how Sweden develops and sustainssubmarines - the Swedish way.The threat is real. Sweden has a long cost line and is operatingin a dense threat environment with short stand-off distances.The Baltic Sea was on the border between the formerWarszawa Pact and NATO. Today, with increased militaryactivities in all three dimensions, the challenge is not easier tohandle.The submarine’s most important characteristic is to conduct itsbusiness without being seen. It is essential to protect andcontrol stealth technology and sensitive system information.The best way of doing so is to design and build our ownsubmarines and only cooperate with carefully selectedstrategic partner nations, who can protect our secrets.Following the Swedish model, we have recently started theconstruction phase for the new A26 submarines.

ROV and AUV Operation from Submarines - What has beendone, what can be done and how to do itMr Jan Siesjo, SAAB Underwater Systems AB, SwedenSaab has supplied both ROV and AUV systems for operationfrom submarines. In addition studies have been doneregarding how integration and operation can be done in anumber of variations. These include torpedo tube launch,external mounting, and larger payload bays. In parallel withthis Saab has developed and produced Hybrid AUVs for thecommercial market that have functions like autonomousdocking, sophisticated obstacle avoidance and homingfunctions. These new systems also have new technology suchas high bandwidth optical communication and compactmanipulators. This new technology combined with what hasalready been proven opens up new possibilities for submarinebased vehicle systems. Payloads can be deployed at largestandoff distances from a submarine. Real time control andmanipulation can be done at 100+ meters from a submarine.Surface communication or surveillance can be done remotely.All of this can be done without any physical, tether connectionto the submarine.This paper will present the state of the art of the submarinebased ROV systems along with what can be done on both newand existing submarines.

HDW Class 216: A Flexible Submarine Design to Meet theGlobal Challenges of TomorrowDr Christian Frühling, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, GermanyThe paper gives an overview on the HDW Class 216 design. Ithighlights innovative and flexible concepts for the integration ofship and mission systems to an advanced conventionalsubmarine platform. With a displacement of approx. 4000 t,HDW Class 216 represents the largest design of ThyssenkruppMarine Systems’ current submarine portfolio. It is developed tocope with a wide range of present and future challengesarising from continuously changing operational scenarios.The boat is equipped with a hybrid diesel electric and fuel cell

60


based air-independent propulsion system (AIP). Instead ofdirect hydrogen storage, a methanol reformer system is used.In combination with a lithium-ion battery, this ensures excellentsubmerged endurance values at all speeds.Reconnaissance and surveillance as well as special operatingforces (SOF) support represent prominent examples forpresent and future mission scenarios. HDW Class 216accordingly provides SOF facilities like an easy accessible diverlock and pressure proof equipment containers. Amultifunctional garage can be used for the storage of diverdelivery vehicles, unmanned systems, or alternative missionequipment. Further flexibility is included in the design by avertical multi-purpose lock (VMPL) system which can be usede.g. as additional diver lock, fuel oil tank, or missile launchingdevice. Several VPMLs can be included in the submarine toincrease mission flexibility.Further attention has been paid to the habitability concept.New approaches have been applied to achieve a highaccommodation comfort level which is deemed an essentialasset for the envisaged 80 days mission duration.

Protection Measures for Merchant Ships (PROMERC)Cdr Huw Davies, MARSS Ltd, United KingdomPROMERC has been funded by the EC to provide a layeredapproach to planning, routeing & threat reduction.PROMERC has applied naval and military tactics to createlayered defence comprising 3 elements which interlock toprovide a comprehensive toolset. The first is the online CounterMeasures manual which is used to evaluate the vulnerability ofindividual vessels, assess the risk to that vessel on specificvoyages and select an appropriate package of countermeasures to mitigate the risk to an acceptable level.This Counter Measures database also underpins the secondPROMERC tool, the Route planner which provides voyage andvessel specific route optimisation and is used by the Companysecurity officer and voyage manager to can monitor the fleetand to plan voyages.All of the factors that contribute to risk have been identifiedthrough analysis of thousands of incidents. As well as the shipcharacteristics and Counter Measures in force they includelocation, wind speed, light levels, even the day of the week. Therisks specific to the vessel are calculated at 3 hourly intervalsfor the entire voyage. These underpin the optimisation and arealso displayed as a heat map.Risk is not static and changes overtime as well as space.There is a trade-off between risk and cost high-risk areas canbe avoided but this may be at the expense of fuel and time.Risk can be reduced by a high-speed transit but this adds tothe voyage cost. The route optimiser gives the voyage managercontrol of this trade-off and he can select the optimum route tomeet his needs.A ship Master may only encounter a pirate attack once in hiscareer and it is essential that he takes appropriate actions tominimise the risk of a successful boarding. The 3rd PROMERCtool is an onboard decision aid which is linked to the ship’s VDRand radar as well as receiving near real time information onpirate activity, risk levels and route recommendations fromashore. The decision aid provides best practice guidance whichis sensitive to the time, location and threat level.

A new Knowledgebase and Methodology for AnalysingPiracy Incidents and CountermeasuresMr Tom Cane, BMT Group Ltd, United KingdomModern maritime piracy, despite its apparent decline in recentyears, represents a huge economic and human cost to theshipping industry. With the advent of BMP4 and otherguidelines, ships have learned to defend themselves throughvarious countermeasures, but inappropriate use can result inunnecessary cost and even place the ship and crew at greaterrisk. A better understanding of the effectiveness andimplications of existing countermeasures is needed, as well asthe legal and ethical issues surrounding their use.This has been studied as part of the European-fundedresearch project, IPATCH (Intelligent Piracy Avoidance usingThreat detection and Countermeasure Heuristics). Theobjectives of IPATCH were to collect, integrate and analysehistorical data on piracy incidents and investigate the legal,ethical, economic and societal implications ofcountermeasures. The result of this work was the production ofa piracy knowledgebase and a ‘manual’ for the shippingindustry to support effective use of countermeasures.The knowledgebase was formed by fusing information fromover 800 incident reports and complementary data frompublic sources into single database of 99 parameters. This wascombined with a catalogue of countermeasures detailing theirusage, costs and an assessment of legal and ethicalimplications.The knowledgebase is subsequently used for the calculation ofpiracy risk and countermeasure performance indicators indifferent situations, which are presented in the form of a‘manual’. This paper explains the methodology used to collect,fuse and analyse the information on incidents andcountermeasures and reports on the findings of the project.

An Automated Surveillance and Decision Support System toProtect against PiracyMr Tom Cane, BMT Group Ltd, United KingdomPiracy is a constantly evolving threat. One thing that hasn’tchanged is the need for a good lookout and constantawareness of the situation in order to give maximum earlywarning of a possible attack. However, crews are gettingsmaller and maintaining the watch is becoming more of aburden on seafarers. At the same time, commercial shippingcannot afford the kind of high-grade sensors used by themilitary. What is needed is an affordable technology solution tosupport the crew’s situational awareness.The proof-of-concept of such system is already beingdeveloped in the European-funded research project, IPATCH(Intelligent Piracy Avoidance using Threat detection andCountermeasure Heuristics), which runs until March 2017.IPATCH is developing an innovative on-board automatedsurveillance and decision support system which usesadvanced software to compensate for the shortcomings ofoff-the-shelf sensor hardware. The IPATCH system combineslow cost visual and thermal cameras with existing ship sensors(radar, AIS, navigation). The sensor data is fused and analysedto create the situational picture. Software algorithms thenautomatically assess the threats and provide information onmitigation actions to the Captain and crew.This paper explains how the data from multiple heterogeneoussensors is transformed into a common operational picturewhich is subsequently used for threat detection and decisionsupport. The overall concept and architecture of the on-boardsystem is presented, along with the results obtained in the

IPATCH project.

Tailored Marine Propulsion with Innovative Electric DrivesMr Bernhard Vollmer, RENK AG, GermanyViewing at operational profiles of today’s and future maritimepropulsion systems, the ship designer is challenged for multiplevariants meeting exact operational demands, andmanufacturers of propulsion key components like gas turbines,diesel engines, gear boxes, electric motors, or propellers in theirwholly available combinations are to follow this path.Inspired by hybrid electric drive concepts utilizing electricmotors as loiter and cruise speed propulsors rather than dieselengines an alternative electric propulsion module wasdeveloped featuring low weight and ultimate low noisesignatures. It offers to propulsion systems of surfacecombatants or the commercial marine additional flexibility athigh efficiency as not known before.Proven with newly available performance measurementresults it is adding to existing solutions an exciting optionwithout compromises.The paper provides the technical highlights and variousapplication examples with such electric drive modules.

Modern Power and Propulsion System Options for FutureFrigate ProgrammesMr William Edge, Rolls-Royce Plc, United KingdomThe Royal Australian Navy will pass through the firstgovernment gate in mid-2016 for the Future Frigate Program,SEA 5000. The preceding conceptual work will include anumber of complex trade-off studies for all ship’s systems andthe decisions made will strongly influence the operationalcapability achieved and the ultimate success of the project. Atthe heart of these systems is the Power and Propulsion (P&P)system which, early in the project, must be carefully specifiedto meet today’s mission requirements as well as in providingsufficient flexibility to enable technology insertion andtherefore meet future requirements throughout the life of theplatform, which could be as far into the future as 2060.Reviewed in the light of increasing power demand from missionsystems and top-level mission requirements such as high-endanti-submarine warfare, this paper will present theadvantages and limitations of various P&P system options thatshould be considered for SEA 5000. This discussion will bedeveloped from experience gained by Rolls-Royce Naval,having worked on a number of frigate programs worldwide.The paper will make the argument for single large Gas Turbine(GT) hybrid electro-mechanical P&P which, if carefully specifiedduring the concept phase, will provide a highly-capable androbust solution meeting reliability and survivabilityrequirements at the same time as reducing whole of life costs .The contribution of modern GT technology in reducing thesecosts as well as their operational and platform designadvantages will also be discussed.

IMO Tier 3 Emissions of Diesel Engines: Requirements andSolutions for Naval VesselsMr Christoph Fenske, MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH, GermanyIMO Tier 3 is not mandatory for naval vessels, yet many navieswant or by political will are being required to comply with thelatest exhaust gas emission limits for diesel engines. The

63


reduction of NOx emissions by 80% versus Tier 2 limits is achallenge for shipbuilders and navies the like. Newtechnologies are required which have to prove their maturity.New, more complex engines or additional space consumingequipment with potentially hazardous consumables adds newvariables into the design.The paper outlines the current legislative and operationalrequirements, describes technologies to achieve these anddescribes the path MTU has chosen to follow. Further itdiscusses the shipbuilding and operational impacts andpotential compromises between emission compliance andoperational flexibility. The paper concludes with an outlook ofalternative technologies and their maturity.

Rapidlychanging customer demands for tailored solutions to answernew, increasingly asymmetric threat scenarios imposedspecific constraints. A strategy of progressive change has metthese challenging demands through a shift to a diversifiedportfolio, modernising the core capabilities far beyondprevious perceptions as a mere munition manufacturer.Thus the evolving strategy has tapped into further marketpotential beyond the heavyweight torpedo, whereopportunities in innovation and product developments haveled to:the world’s first torpedo hardkill countermeasure SeaSpider®the next-generation lightweight torpedo SeaRaven®Heavyweight torpedo derivatives such as the submarinesimulator SUSInovel applications for ATLAS ELEKTRONIK’s leading Lithium-Iron Phosphate battery technologies.As a consequence of this evolved strategy, ATLAS reclaimedfor in-house development what was once third-partycomponents, thus regaining 100% of the intellectual propertyrights for the portfolio’s core technologies.With our strong orientation for long-term service partnershipsin mind and together with the new portfolio structure thatreflects not just the intended way ahead but in fact thedivision’s actual order book, the Naval Weapons Division hasforged a multi-term strategy to create the stable foundationfor today’s clear and progressive vision for the future – tobecome the leading global solution provider for underwaterweapon systems.

Extremely Rugged, Thin, Buoyant Optical CablesMr Stephen O’Riorden, Linden Photonics, United StatesLinden Photonics has developed technology to apply LiquidCrystal Polymers (LCP) to optical fiber using conventionalextrusion manufacturing. With this technology a 1 mm cablewith 100 lb breaking strength ideal for underwater ROVapplications can be produced. Additional extruded layersmake the cable buoyant, non-hockling, or rad-hard, thusaccessing underwater, terrestrial and space applications.Linden STFOC™ cables have been precision wound in lengthsup to 20 km. These spools allow inside payout at speed inunderwater ROV and weapons applications.Linden has unique experience in applying extruded coatings ofLiquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) to commercial optical fiberscovered by three issued patents. To date, techniques havebeen developed such that extruded LCP layer has an UTS of200 kpsi. This is exceptionally high compared to any other classof thermoplastics, but with room for further improvement. Thisis evidenced by the fact that Vectran HT yarn, which is madefrom the same LCP resins, but in strands that are < 25 umdiameter, has an UTS of about 450 kpsi. This implies that ifextrusion techniques can be developed to achieve the samelevel of molecular alignment in extruded LCP as in spunVectran yarn, the UTS will also approach 450 kpsi. The LCPlayer could then be much thinner and still have the samebreaking strength. Furthermore, extruded LCP could replace

65


braided Kevlar or braided Vectran in a host of wire and cableapplications, reducing cost and allowing much longercontinuous lengths.Linden makes buoyant cables by applying an extruded layer oflow specific gravity (SG) polymer (SG<1) on top of the LCP layer.We have used two classes of thermoplastics with SG of 0.96and 0.84 respectively. As well, we have developed extrusiontechniques such that OD of extruded layer will have a tolerance< ± 0.0005". This results in better than 1% control of cabledensity. Combining a thinner LCP layer with the 0.84 SGthermoplastic results in a buoyant cable with diameter < 1mm.

Supercavitation: Gravity Influence – Possibilities ofApplications for Drag ReductionDr Vladimir Serebryakov, National Academy of Sciences, UkraineVladimir Serebryakov, Institute oh Hydromechanics of NASU,Ukraine [email protected] The paper containsthe analysis of the most complete picture for interaction ofsupercavitation, with the field of gravities as it applies to theproblems of drag reduction of high-speed vehicle at very highspeed motion. Application of cavitation to the problem of dragreduction is limited to very high speeds of motion, that notalways acceptable to some types of vehicles. The necessity ofapplication of the cavitation for the range of not high speedenough of motion is closely related to the problems ofcalculation and reliable estimation substantial affecting of thefield of gravities on cavitating flow. The aim of this workconsists in that, to present the integral picture ofunderstanding of the basic physical effects related tointeraction of the developed cavitating flows, with the field ofgravities on the basis of analysis of large quantity of the knowndata of theoretical and experimental researches. It includesthe improvement of the known approaches joint withdevelopment of more complete system of practical methods ofcalculation of supercavitating flows near to axisymmetricaltaking into account substantial influence of ponderability ofliquid and by research of possibilities of reduction andcompensation of this influence.

or submarines. The UT 3000 from Wa¨rtsila¨ ELAC Nautik isthe very first underwater communication system combininganalogue (STANAG 1047) and digital communication in oneunit. The cooperation with modem manufacturers facilitatesthe establishment of stable communication links betweenships/submarines and small manned or unmanned platformslike divers, submersibles, AUVs or bottom nodes to offer aninteroperable platform independent solution to our customers.For wireless platform specific communication purposes, e.g.wireless diver command and control, or for the transfer oftactical situation pictures a data link interface to the UT 3000can be used. Thus, external application programs can send toand receive information (like command and control,measurement or target data) from the UT 3000 exchangedvia the underwater channel.Wa¨rtsila¨ ELAC Nautik GmbH’s presentation will give anoverview of existing and in process features and solutions forinteroperable application driven communication scenarios andwill describe the necessary work to overcome the challenges ofthe underwater channel. Already established anddemonstrated application examples will be conceived.

Implementation and Performance Data of a DDS-basedPassive Submarine Sonar SuiteMr Marco Hahn, Wärtsilä ELAC Nautik GmbH, GermanyPresent Sonars often employ a proprietary and thus closedarchitecture.

Embedding Local Industry with Smart Data SharingMr Jan Täubrich, Raytheon Anschütz, GermanySharing data by means of a common network as of todayprovides sufficient and aggregated information to operate thesubmarine.Once the data sharing is realized using a common middleware,the hardware and software remain only loosely coupled. Sucha step opens the stage for centralized off-the-shelf computinginfrastructure.hosting several applications from steering assistance tonavigation domain and to many other domains. A centralizedand harmonized infrastructure is perfectly suited as offset withadditional benefits in logistics and maintenance. Furthermore,a common middleware enables new presentation ofaggregated information leading to a next level situationawareness and improving staffing flexibility.This paper presents the steps forward to a sharedinfrastructure and highlights the offset opportunities andsituation awareness improvements on the road.Finally, this paper will explore a concept to unify a submarinesteering console, a navigation data management centre and abattery monitoring system on a shared computinginfrastructure.

Unmanned Safe Maritime Operations over The Horizon(USMOOTH)Mr Vincent Dobbin, ASV Ltd, United KingdomAutonomous Surface Systems offer the potential to transformthe manner in which many activities are conducted at sea. Thistransition to autonomy has the ability to save costs, reduce riskand increase flexibility across a range of military applicationsincluding mine countermeasures, weapons testing,hydrography, security and surveillance.ASV has specialist expertise and experience in autonomoussurface platform design, build and operation. Project‘USMOOTH’ goes beyond the mechanics of operatingautonomous systems by looking in detail at Unmanned SafeMaritime Operations Over The Horizon. This presentation willshowcase the work carried out so far in this two year longproject. This work will be key to industry worldwide when theuse of Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) becomesmainstream.The project addresses regulatory and safety issuesappertaining to unmanned Over The Horizon operations and isseeking to develop robust vessel behaviours, reliable andeffective communications, situational awareness and a robustsafety case. ASV has teamed with; D-RisQ Ltd, to introducefrom the aerospace domain accredited software development

68


techniques; Cranfield University, to further develop collisionavoidance algorithms; and external safety and regulatoryexperts. The approach addresses USV technologies alongsidetheir human operators introducing a holistic solution, robustlyaddressing the safety constraints blocking current OTH USVdeployment.In the UK, government and industry are working togethercombining advice and funding with technical expertise to fullyexploit this huge area of opportunity. ASV, in partnership withnine other commercial and research organisations, isundertaking in excess of £3million worth of research anddevelopment for Maritime Autonomous Systems (MAS). Theseprojects are co-funded by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovationagency following the UK governments announcement thatrobotics and autonomous systems were one of the ‘eight greattechnologies’ set to propel the UK to future growth.

Future MCM Operations using Unmanned Maritime SystemMr Chris Brook, ATLAS Elektronik UK, United KingdomThere is an urgent need for cost-effective Mine Counter-Measure (MCM) capability within modern navies. Over the lastfew years there has been great interest and research intoremotely-operated and autonomous assets for MCMoperations. Unmanned maritime platforms and systems offerflexibility, reduced risk and higher tempo, all at reduced cost.These advanced “system of systems” solutions, integratingdisparate assets and sensors can be configured for minehunting in difficult cluttered waters or for improved minesweeping in-stride, or both using common platforms and sub-systems. Operated either from a low-cost MCM “mother-ship”or from a remote land-based station, this approachrepresents a radical departure from traditional ways fordealing with the ever-present underwater mine threat andpotentially transforming how navies will conduct MCM infuture.ATLAS ELEKTRONIK UK is developing such an approach forthe Royal Navy’s Future MCM Capability. A key asset is theARCIMS unmanned surface craft: a versatile production craftable to deploy and recover MCM-dedicated UUVs or to carryout MCM sweeping operations. This presentation highlightssome of the key technical challenges that have beenaddressed in the realisation of these advanced concepts,including ARCIMS, aiming to deliver cost-effective and safeMCM capability.

Autonomous Surface / Sub-surface Survey SystemMr Vincent Dobbin, ASV Ltd, United KingdomAutonomous Surface Systems offer the potential to transformthe manner in which many activities are conducted at sea. Thistransition to autonomy has the ability to save costs, reduce riskand increase flexibility across a range of military applicationsincluding mine countermeasures, weapons testing,hydrography, security and surveillance.The Autonomous Surface / Sub-surface Survey System(ASSSS) programme combines autonomous surface vessels(ASVs), in this case the C-Enduro ASV, and autonomousunderwater vehicles (AUVs) with novel communicationstechnology to create an integrated system which provides ameans of conducting effective subsea operations such aspositioning, monitoring and surveys.The system architecture will enable the C-Enduro to provideregular position updates to the AUV system removing the needfor the AUV to surface to update its internally calculatedposition, this will significantly increase the endurance available

69


for subsea operations. With the combination of the highaccuracy sonar systems positioned close to the seabed on theAUV and accurate position from the C-Enduro this will providegame changing solutions.Due to the size and transportability, this system will also bringthe possibility of completing subsea operations from a shorebase, without the need for ships to be mobilised.The C-Enduro will communicate through 2 key methods;acoustics to provide short mission updates and positioninginformation and optical communication technology to enablethe system to upload the data from the survey sensors. Withthe data uploaded to the C-Enduro it is then possible for it toprocess this data to provide autonomous adaptive missionplanning and for summary data to be passed back throughsatellite communications.Success will accelerate the wider adoption of unmannedsystems and will enable long term, cost effective survey andmonitoring operations for offshore energy applications, deepsea mining prospecting and Carbon Capture and Storage(CCS) monitoring. This will position UK industry and the UKmaritime science community ahead of world competitors andresult in job creation throughout the maritime industry and itssupply chain. There will also be a consequential reduction in theneed to place humans in dangerous environments and agreater acceptability of unmanned systems by operators andregulators. Adoption of the technology is likely to spawnopportunities in adjacent market sectors and facilitate crossdomain technology transfer. As part of these developmentsthe assets will be made compatible with the UK’s DSTLMaritime Autonomy Framework (MAF).In the UK, government and industry are working togethercombining advice and funding with technical expertise to fullyexploit this huge area of opportunity.

DINCS – Raising the Bar in Ship AutomationDr Ir Johan Janssen, TNO, NetherlandsSuccessful naval missions rely heavily upon the availability ofsensor, weapon and command systems. In turn these systemsare inherently dependent upon their own support systems,particularly distributed fluid systems. Malfunctions or weapon-induced damage result in deterioration or failure of thesesupport systems, thus impacting the overall mission.Distributed Intelligent Networked Control Systems (DINCS)offers timely and efficient reconfiguration of these supportsystems following incidents. Software agents contained withinDINCS autonomously detect, isolate and reconfigure thesesystems to maintain as much of the ship’s fight-throughcapability as possible. The DINCS technology is beingdeveloped through a collaborative project, between MoD NLand MoD UK, and has already been proven on a shore basedChilled Water demonstrator up to Technology Readiness Level6. Survivability analysis was performed to determine the

70


impact of DINCS on the ship’s survivability. Results show thatthe fight-through capability increased strongly when usingDINCS, whereas the vulnerability of the platform supportsystems to battle damage is minimised. Increased automationoften raises questions about the impact upon the Operator’ssituational awareness. To improve this awareness, newHuman-Machine Interaction (HMI) concepts for the DINCStechnology demonstrator are being developed, with dueconsideration to relevant naval design standards andguidance.This paper reports the DINCS technology, its impact on ship’ssurvivability and man-machine interaction.

A Modelling and Simulation Framework to Assess NavalPlatform Integrated SurvivabilityDr Christopher Norwood, Defence Science and Technology Group,AustraliaAssessment of Naval platform integrated survivability within adiverse threat environment requires an innovative modellingand simulation framework. The Integrated Ship SurvivabilityAssessment Capability (ISSAC) is such a framework, beingdesigned to improve the resilience and robustness of Navalplatforms. Platform survivability is an integrated conceptencapsulating the domains of susceptibility, vulnerability andrecoverability.However, domain specific survivability models are generallyused in isolation, without communication across domainboundaries. ISSAC is a component-based, open architecturethat provides the necessary inter-connection between thesurvivability domains and allows analysts to integrate domainmodels of their choosing. For example, ISSAC would have theability to model crew response to a blast event that may resultin fires with the potential for ‘cook-off’ of explosive ordnance.ISSAC would model the blast event, fire, ‘blanket search’ forcasualties and firefighting in hazardous conditions. Analysis ofthreat scenarios using ISSAC will facilitate improvements toprocedures and configuration to enable the platform to survivecomplex, evolving threat events. The underlying frameworkavoids the limitations of many survivability assessmenttechniques. It provides a holistic interconnection between thesusceptibility, vulnerability and recoverability domains, therebypermitting trade-off analysis. ISSAC development isexemplified by integrating the human movement model,maritimeEXODUS, the fire model, SMARTFIRE, and a 3Dcomputer Naval platform model. ISSAC will, therefore, enablesimulation using qualitative models without the need forprobabilistic analysis utilising subjective and objective data.ISSAC is expected to provide future benefits as a training tooland as a real-time decision support aid during survivabilityoperations.

Early Warship Design: Virtual Ship and IntegratedCollaborative EnvironmentMr Rafine Benoit, DCNS, FranceMr Julien Benabes, SIREHNA - DCNS, FranceWarship designers have to cope with increasing of capabilitiesrequirements, cost of technologies and declining of militarybudget. Designers, in preliminary design step, have to searchfor innovative and optimal designs according to technical andeconomic aspects. This paper proposes an innovative designframework using a Virtual Ship multi-physic simulator tooptimize technical performances versus design requirementsand budget. This approach is used in very early design phase,considering that decisions made during this phase have

71


irreversible consequences for 80% of architectural choices(and probably cost).Consistency between design parameters and modelling tools,used to assess ship performances, is a key feature of VirtualShip simulator that ensures the coherent evolution of the ship.Virtual Ship simulator also integrates decision making tools tohelp designers in the search for innovative and optimal shipsolutions.Future development objectives will be dedicated to theintegration of a System Architecture framework in the VirtualShip framework. It allows sharing information betweensubsystems designer and helps the ship architect to aggregateviewpoints from several experts, and to detect inconstancywithin the requirements. Some extracted view of theframework could be shared with the customer to optimizerequirement balance.

Rear Admiral (ret’d) Phil (John P.) Davis

Variable Depth Magnetic Mine Detection SystemMr Pawel Polanski, CTM (R&D Marine Technology Centre), PolandSystems that are currently used for detection andclassification of sea mines, especially those buried in bottomsediments, present several shortcomings. Research anddevelopment works are carried out to eliminate thesetechnological gaps, and subsequently to achieve/enhanceability to counter buried mines.In order to solve that issue works are performed on improvingsonars, e.g. by using transmitters able to generate lowfrequency hydroacoustic signal that is capable of betterpenetration of bottom sediments (mine acquisition) and onusing magnetic detection systems for confirmation ofacquired/detected targets (reacquisition). Due to relatively lowdetection range of magnetic sensors, it is necessary todecrease the distance between targets (mines located on orburied in bottom sediments) and detectors. A variable depthstabilized platform towed by ASV was developed andequipped with magnetometers, magnetic gradiometers andelectromagnetic detection system. By altering the towingdepth it is possible to move detection system closer to thetarget and in thus improve the effectiveness of magnetic

72


detection systems.In September 2015, within EDA’s BURMIN project, extensivesea trials of new buried mines’ detection systems wereperformed in Gdansk Bay, that included magnetic andelectromagnetic systems integrated with underwaterplatform developed by CTM.Tests and sea trials, whose summary is presented in this paper,confirmed purposefulness and effectiveness of using magneticand electromagnetic detection systems installed on speciallydeveloped underwater platform.

Future MCM and Saab Kockums MCM Patrol VesselMr Thomas Johansson, SAAB Kockums AB, SwedenTo keep ports and sea lines of communication free from seamines is an important task for all European navies. Huntingmines from dedicated mine countermeasures vessels (MCMVs)in own territorial waters was the predominant technique whenEurope was the scene for the cold war conflict between Eastand West. Today, new and extended operational requirementscoming from new alliances and conflicts in foreign andunknown waters reveal that traditional MCMVs are not alwaysthe most suitable vessels to operate under thesecircumstances.When designed, the traditional dedicated MCMVs wereconfigured to operate near home or rely on shore/ship basedself-defence, command and logistic support. The operationalscenarios were mostly associated with none or low hostileactivity besides the threat of sea mine. Future MCM operationsadds new requirements, with demands for safe, rapid anduninterrupted mine clearance in both own and foreign possiblyhostile waters, without constant support.The Saab Kockums MCMPatrol vessel is a new innovativeconcept designed to provide navies with a more flexible tool formissions related to modern mine warfare. MCMPatrol is amodular platform and primarily designed for MCM missions,but as it incorporates a high degree of modularity and iscapable of launching various unmannedunderwater/surface/aerial vehicles (UXVs), it is also suited forother types of secondary missions such as hydrographicsurvey, ISR and patrol tasks.

MCM Toolbox with a Modular and Unmanned ApproachMr Carl-Marcus Remén, SAAB Underwater Systems AB, SwedenFuture demands and needs in the field of MCM moves towardsusing a combination of manned and unmanned system withdifferent levels of operator interaction. These futurerequirements and operations would need to be based on acombination of flexibility and modularity with a mix of provenand new technology. A Saab modular and unmanned MCMtoolbox has evolved from more than 30 years of experiencesupplying and developing MCM solutions to world leadingnavies. This toolbox is based on Saabs’ unique way of thinkingwhich leads to developing efficient and mature systems forMCM complemented with a mix of new and revolutionaryunmanned technologies. The Saab MCM mind-set ondeveloping this toolbox of unmanned MCM systems hasalways been to to secure and support “No man in theminefield” and “Increase speed of advance in MCMoperations”.

Use of a Wideband Passive Directional Acoustic Sensor toProvide Situational Awareness in Difficult LittoralEnvironmentsMr Alan Sassler, Analysis, Design & Diagnostics, Inc., United StatesPassive Acoustic Sensors have historically been importanttools for use in detecting, classifying, and localizing (DCL)submerged platforms, and also for use by submergedplatforms needing to DCL both surface and other submergedplatforms. In the past, this task has primarily been left tosensors operating at low to mid frequencies, but in many areasof the world, noise from heavy shipping, oil and gas exploration,marine mammals and other biologics, or harbor activitiesseverely degrade the performance of these systems. Duringthis timeframe, use of high frequency active sonars fornavigation, obstacle avoidance, communications, imaging, andharbor defense have proliferated. Despite the large andincreasing number of high frequency active emitters currentlyin use, few affordable, low-power, high performance,directional acoustic sensors have become available to exploitthem. This lack of capability is periodically demonstrated whenan airplane disappears into the ocean, and it is difficult toaccurately DCL the emergency pinger. This paper categorizesthe types of signals commonly associated with high frequencyemitters, and describes optimal detectors, methods ofclassification, and localization. Characterization of sources isfollowed by a discussion of the issues associated withdesigning a sensor optimized to DCL wideband emitters andreport detections and classifications while remainingaffordable and compact, with power consumption of less thanfive Watts. The DCL capabilities of this type of system aredemonstrated using real world signals from marine mammalsand other biologics, intentional and unintentional emissionsfrom assorted surface vessels, and signals from a Benthosunderwater acoustic modem.

Study on Sound Fields Computation in OrthogonalCurvilinear CoordinatesMr Shanguo Gao, Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy ofScience, ChinaChoice of coordinate system in sound field computation is veryimportant. Coordinate system is usually chosen by geometryproperties of sources and boundaries. Cartesian coordinates,cylindrical coordinates and spherical coordinates are usuallyused. Suitable coordinate system can improve computationaccuracy and reduce calculation load greatly. Thus, moreorthogonal curvilinear coordinates and its applications shouldbe considered for complex and variant topography. Based ontheoretical analysis, we first give a mathematicalrepresentation of Helmholtz equation in any orthogonalcurvilinear coordinate system and then study how to choosethe suitable coordinate system for some typical topography.With normal modes method, some new applications of usualorthogonal curvilinear coordinates and new orthogonalcurvilinear coordinates are introduced to illustrate theconvenience. The result shows that the Helmholtz equation canbe easily solved in the suitable coordinate system. Comparedwith usual methods, our method in sound field computation forcomplex topography has some notable advantages.

Phased Array DI and Beampattern Optimization via use ofSynthetic Annealing to Modify Element LocationsMr Alan Sassler, Analysis, Design & Diagnostics, Inc., United StatesPhased Arrays are commonly used in both passive and activeapplications to enhance a system’s Figure of Merit (FoM) by

74


adding significant beamformer gain. These Arrays arefrequently designed with simplistic criteria, i.e. keeping thespacing of nearest element spacing at approximately l / 2 atthe highest frequency of interest, and arranging the elementsin a regular pattern, e.g. use of rows and columns of equallyspaced elements to implement a planar array. The resultingbeampatterns are then tailored using amplitude shading toreduce sidelobe levels at the expense of a broader main lobe.This design methodology is simple, but results in far fromoptimal performance. This paper demonstrates the use of asynthetic annealing approach with a simple scoring function tosignificantly improve DI and beampatterns by optimizing thelocation of the elements. This technique works via modificationof the array’s covariance matrix, defined by the location of theelements, the speed of sound, the frequency beinginvestigated, and the steering angle. The optimization criteriawill include maximizing DI and minimizing sidelobe levels giventhe range of frequencies and steering angles of interest. Anumber of practical examples will be demonstrated usingMATLAB modeling, including the design of a line arrayoptimized for use in a Dipping Sonar, and the design of a planararray suitable for a Forward Looking Sonar. The performanceof these designs will be contrasted with more conventionaldesigns to quantify the potential improvement using thisapproach.

How Augmented Reality enhances Situational Awareness inCounter-asymmetric Threats SystemsDr Gerald Moulis, DCNS, FranceCV(r) FN Vincent de Larminat, DCNS, FranceVision is essential to address maritime activities, and there is alot of information to handle collectively. This paper describesDCNS future system module dedicated to enhance situationalawareness against asymmetric threats using AugmentedReality (AR). In our case AR adds task specific real timeinformation to videos, as colour visible lossless ultra UHD 360°panorama. This paper describes system development stepsfrom concept inception, as related in our previous MAST 2012paper, to on shore demonstration with French Navy workinggroups. Current system status and results are described,without detailed screenshot description. Innovations andtechnical issues are exposed and future directions aresketched.Developing such a system introduces various innovations intotraditional CMS architectures: It introduces a dedicated ARcollaboration concept based on a shared “visual situation”. Thisvisual situation corresponds to tactical and nautical situationdisplayed on the video provided by the 360° on boardsurveillance sensor. It allows users to coordinate easily withothers local, remote or distant users. It allows sharingsituational awareness, complying with engagement rules, andfollowing decisions. It also introduces new 360° sensors anddedicated video algorithms and software that enrich CombatManagement Systems architecture.

Maritime Gliders for Affordable Persistent SurveillanceMr Jonathan Locke, NATO CMRE, ItalyCurrent concerns regarding illegal immigration, piracy and thetrafficking of WMD, require a mature understanding of themaritime pattern-of-life (PoL) without which it would be very

75


challenging to detect unusual or anomalous activity. Aneffective solution will be reliant on a data collected by widerange of platforms and sensing modalities. As part of this mixand following the success of low-cost ship-launched smallUAVs, it is postulated that the latest crop of maritime glidershave the potential to provide effective maritime situationawareness (MSA) and ISR. Gliders are attractive platforms asthey are inexpensive, potentially covert and can operate formany months without intervention - they have the potential toprovide persistent surveillance and cue follow-up mannedresponse. This paper reports recent innovative workconducted at the CMRE through the application of low-SWAPpassive sensing to demonstrate the potential of both thewave-glider and buoyancy-glider as ISR/MSA platforms.Specifically we report experimental work on the application oflow-cost acoustic, ESM, and EO/IR technology in order tobetter understand the location, movement and identity ofvessels

IP Based C2 Capability for Coordinated Maritime OperationsMr Arda Ünal, MilSOFT, TurkeyWorld navies are more relying on small boats, RHIBs and UAVsfor coordinated maritime operations. In these environment,small boats and RHIBs are positively controlled throughMother Ships or Ground Based headquarter. Mother Shipsand/or HQs will have capability to generate Common TacticalPicture (CTP) or Common Operational Picture (COP), whichincreases the situational awareness at operational area. WEBtechnologies will be used to share / display CTP, COP and FleetAsset Status between participating units.MilSOFT has combined its experience on CMS and TacticalData Links together with IP-Based Coordinated Commandand Control (C2) capability to implement fully integratedsolution for coordinated attacks, fighting against asymmetricthreats and performing out-war operations like protection ofcritical infrastructures, border control, patrol etc.

HARNESS: Development of a Multifunctional Protective ShipBulkheadMr Rogier van der Wal, TNO, NetherlandsHARNESS is a joint project between governments, industryand TNO with the objective to develop a multifunctionalprotective bulkhead for application on naval vessels. Themultifunctional bulkhead aims at increasing the resilience ofnaval vessels, reduce damage and repair time and provide asafer environment for crew and equipment against internalexplosions. There are several technologies available to protectwarships against the blast of an internal explosion. Forfragments from a detonating anti-ship missile, there is nosolution readily available which meets constraints of bothmass and cost. Fire insulation on or inside the bulkhead mustwithstand the shock of the bulkhead bulging from theexplosion, as well as the induced shock due to underwaterexplosion (UNDEX). The project was preceded by theHARDCORE project, in which TNO and partners assessed theeffect of polymer pre-layers on armour steel in order toimprove fragment resistance. We observed that a pre-layer onthe armour steel enhanced the energy absorption by a factortwo or more. This paper describes a test program to enhance

76


the fragment resistance of armour steel by using maritimeinsulation materials and interior decoration as a pre-layer. Byusing such materials, high levels of integration and modularitycan be obtained, thereby reducing additional weight and costfor the bulkhead and increasing the probability of actualimplementation in naval vessels.

Vessel Monitoring and ‘Big Data’ analysisMr Gert-Jan Meijn, Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding,NetherlandsThe collection and storage of platform data from operationalvessels is gaining importance within the maritime world. Manystakeholders are already investing effort into the collectionand storage of the data, resulting in enormous amounts ofdata, growing towards the start of “big data”. However theanalysis of these data sets, going through the process ofcollecting, structuring, interpreting, and evaluating is still verylabor intensive and needs much more attention in order toefficiently process these enormous amounts of data.Over the past year data has been gathered from four Holland-class Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV’s) belonging to the RoyalNetherlands Navy. By applying different a-priori and a-posteriori data analysis methods to this dataset (i.e. multi-dimensional clustering and neural networks) it is shown thatdata coming from these vessels cannot only be a greatperformance indicator but can also play a critical role infeedback on the design. In the end this results in improvedsimulation techniques and modeling, higher reliability, highermaintainability and an overall better product. It is expectedthat in future ventures the role of data logging and remotemonitoring will significantly increase and with it the need formore advanced data analysis methods.

Assessment of Obstacle-Avoidance Methods forAutonomous Underwater VehiclesMr Arno Duijster, TNO, NetherlandsAmong all requirements for operations with AutonomousUnderwater Vehicles (AUVs), survivability is usually one of themost important. Hence, collisions with obstacles in the watercolumn should be prevented since they can lead to severedamage or even total loss of the vehicle. This requires timelydetection, risk assessment, evasive action and surveyreplanning. Which action can be taken, depends on the vehicledynamics and capabilities and on the way reactive behaviouris implemented in the vehicle. Since AUVs are used to scan theseafloor with portside and starboard sidescan sonar, anavoidance manoeuvre can lead to voids in the area coverage.

77


Proper survey replanning is crucial in order to maximize areacoverage, while minimizing survey time.To get a feel for the problem, we developed a generic 2D AUVmotion simulator and implemented three basic avoidancestrategies with subsequent survey replanning: two reflexivestrategies and one with more autonomous behaviour. Thesemethods were tested for various numbers, locations and sizesof obstacles, and were compared to identical situationswithout obstacle avoidance in order to determine their addedvalue. Statistics derived from all results of the Monte Carlosimulation lead to quantifiable performance measures, suchas survival rate, average area coverage, average surveyduration, and average area coverage rate. The simulationstudy shows that, depending on the environment, the AUV’ssurvivability may increase significantly by including collisionavoidance and that a certain degree of intelligence helps toachieve the operational objectives (e.g., required areacoverage rate).

Launch and Recovery - Perhaps not Always RequiredMr Richard Williams, Hydroid Inc, United KingdomLaunch and Recovery – a step in the right directionAutomated underwater dockingUnderwater persistenceIn this presentation we consider feedback and requirementfrom the largest Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) usercommunity in the world and consider how this is shaping thedevelopment of systems to enhance a persistent presence intheir operating area.With US defence continuing to be the largest operator of AUVs,we review how their needs and visions are shaping futurecapabilities in this rapidly evolving technology. We take a lookat how new interoperable transportable launch and recoverysystems and dynamic docking technology can facilitate the useof AUVs in unmanned operations with Unmanned SurfaceVehicles (USV) and other platforms and how this canpotentially further increase the adoption of unmannedsystems.We investigate how recent developments in dockingtechnology is enabling significant progress to be made insustainable subsea presence and how demands for thiscapability in ocean observatories and defence applications areidentifying issues that must be addressed as we look to thefuture.

Demonstration of Underwater Power Transfer For Non-Fixed, Compact UUV in the OceanMr Shuhei Yoshida, NEC Corporation, JapanThe world-first wireless charging via seawater for non-fixed,compact underwater unmanned vehicle (UUV) in the oceanwas successfully demonstrated. A system for the wirelesscharging is composed of antennas, a battery unit, and a sensorunit. To transmit power via seawater efficiently, NEC’s uniqueantenna consists of dielectric-assist materials and a spiral coilwas used. The fabricated antenna achieved a high efficiency of50% with a transmission distance of 10 cm via sea-water, witha small size of 24 cm x 24 cm x 1.5 cm. The antenna wasequipped to a compact UUV with a battery unit and a sensorunit. The whole system was tested in the harbor and wirelesscharging via seawater to the non-fixed UUV was successfullydemonstrated. The results and measured current and voltagecharacteristics during the charging by the sensor unit will bepresented. The underwater power transfer system for non-fixed charging can contribute to enable various kinds of

Novel Naval Sonar SensorsDr Bryan Hannon, ATLAS Elektronik UK, United KingdomAdvanced high-performance low-noise sensors underpin alladvanced naval underwater surveillance systems. The needfor novel designs is becoming even more acute with theincrease in the stealth capability of threat submarines andmines. Over the last few years there has been enhancedinterest and research into novel sensor solutions for a varietyof underwater applications such as ASW and MCM.ATLAS ELEKTRONIK UK has been at the forefront of UKresearch into compact passive and active sensors and arrays.Fibre-optic and single-crystal piezoceramic sensors have beenshown to provide the basis for cost-effective system solutions.Other more esoteric and innovative approaches exploiting bio-inspired concepts and strongly non-linear phenomena arebeing explored for more challenging applications.

Open Hydrophone Array DesignMr Ralf Siegfried, Wärtsilä ELAC Nautik GmbH, GermanyThe concept of Ethernet and middleware based hydrophonesare emerging as a viable and relatively cost effective methodfor multi-channel hydrophone arrays. The requirements forfuture submarines however, present extremely challengingsonar systems which is far away from traditional sonarsystems and especially hydrophone array concept. Thisincludes increased sonar performance by increasing theaperture and consequently increase the number ofhydrophones from a few hundred to a few thousand ofhydrophonesThis paper describes a technical approach of an Ethernetbased hydrophones array which is free configurable andincludes an OpenDDS based interface to the combat system.

Remarks about the Optimality of lofargram Representationsfor Passive Sonar DataDr Hervé Tanguy, Thales Underwater Systems, FranceRepresenting data is an essential part for systems providing adetection, such as sonar, radar, video surveillance systems.These systems usually use a screen to display information,using various graphical items like: letters, numbers,geometrical patterns and shapes, textures, etc. The quality ofthe system relies on both the signal processing and on thegraphical display of the data computed by the processing.Depending on technical history of the field, data displayed onscreen is either raw or synthetic, or a mixture of both. Since theorigin of sonar systems, sonar systems display raw data, usinga plot called lofargram: it is an image where each dot codes thepower of the signal for given frequency and date. Thisrepresentation has been used for at least half a century, andhas changed very little since. How is it that no better displayhas been found ? Using theoretical concepts of informationvisualisation, this article aims a showing that lofargrams are avery powerful tool for representing data. Fundamental worksof Bertin and Tufte provide scientific tools such as visualvariables that allow to analyse the nature and structure ofdata, and its adequacy versus its visualisation. In particular,quality of a visual display of data is structured upon the

79


emerging data it allows. Lofargrams are on this matter a veryrich display. In the end, while still relying on human detection,lofargrams are a display that probably cannot be beaten.

Big Data Vessel Port Visit Analytics for NATO MARCOMMr Luca Cazzanti, NATO, ItalyScientists at the NATO Centre for Maritime Research andExperimentation (CMRE) have been working closely with theNATO Shipping Centre (NSC) to understand how basic AISdata may be best exploited by military end-users to enhancemaritime situation awareness (MSA). CMRE’s worldwidevessel database of AIS detections reaching back to 2007provides an extensive data set with latent potential to meetthe needs of the NSC users. Specifically, CMRE has establisheda service where any authorised user may access a set of web-based information products which include, for example, chart-based monthly statistics of vessel port visits. This product,provides insight to the maritime pattern of life and enables theuser to better understand how ports are being used andprovides information on the behaviour of vessels underscrutiny. Adopting a multi-domain approach, computationalMSA takes advantage of the latest research in machinelearning, signal processing and big data analytics. The portanalytics product uses a prototype framework whichdemonstrates, more generally, how current industry standardscan be applied to automate the synthesis of very large volumesof information.

The Future Littoral Operations Challenge: A Call forIntegrated InnovationMrs Lesley Jacobs, TNO, NetherlandsThe urbanised littoral is considered to be one of the mostcomplex and in the same time one of the most probablemilitary operating environments of the nearby future. Littoraloperations take place in a pressure cooker environment thatposes many challenges due to the fact that severalmegatrends such as a strong increase in urbanisation (leadingto megacities), littoralisation (number of people living in cities incoastal areas) and connectedness (due to network technology)intertwine. Moreover the rapid and increasing use of disruptivetechnology has an impact on every aspect of daily life andpossible conflicts in this environment.In the littoral, all five military domains - land, sea, air, cyber andspace - have to interact and work together. They have tooperate in an integrated manner together with Joint,Interagency, Multinational and Public (JIMP) partners, duringall phases of conflict and during all levels of conflict. This hasalso been recognized by the Royal Netherlands Armed Forcesand has led to the understanding that an integratedsystems-of-systems- approach is needed in support of thedevelopment of a Future Littoral Operating Concept whichtakes into consideration the full dynamic complexity ofurbanised networked littoral operations with all its hybrid andirregular threats.This calls for a profound cross-domain analysis and integratedinnovation. In this paper the Royal Netherlands Armed Forcesand TNO will present the challenges ahead, both from anoperational and scientific point of view, and requiredinnovation in current and future military research andtechnology.

Protection against Assymetric ThreatsMr Rob Balloch, MARSS SAM, MonacoWarship design remains largely focussed on carrying ourtraditional roles and combating traditional threatsAAW/AsuW/ASW. Asymmetric threats are a new challengeand ships are particularly vulnerable when they are engaged inport visits, inshore surveys or whilst on deployment.To meet the requirement for enhanced local area surveillancewhen the risk of asymmetric attack is high or when theOperations Room is not fully manned, MARSS has developedthe NiDAR™ system.NiDAR is patented technology, developed in partnership withthe NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation,which provides an integrated sensor suite providingunderwater/surface/shoreside threat detection, tracking,classification and non-lethal deterrence and controlled by anintuitive Command and Control module designed for use fromthe Operations Room or by the Quartermaster and shipprotection detail. The system can be controlled remotely bypatrolling teams via smartphone, tablet or head mounteddisplay. NiDAR can be provided as a ship fit or as a deployablepackage.NiDAR has a modular architecture and is ‘sensor agnostic’. Thesystem is scalable and can incorporate numerous advancedsensors from leading manufacturers.

Manoeuvre Advice for Merchant Vessels to Counter PiracyThreatsMr Hilvert Jan Fitski, TNO, NetherlandsMr Edwin van Veldhoven, TNO, NetherlandsPROMERC (Protection Measures for Merchant Ships) has beenfunded by the European Union to provide a layered approachto planning, routeing and threat reduction. PROMERC hasapplied naval and military tactics to create layered defencecomprising three elements, which interlock to provide acomprehensive toolset: the online Counter Measures Manual,the Route Planner, and the onboard Counter Measures TacticalDecision Aid.This paper gives an overview of the project and elaborates onthe Counter Measures Tactical Decision Aid (CM-TDA). Thethree main components of the CM-TDA will be explained: thecounter measures advice module, the manoeuvre advicemodule, and the user interface presenting dynamic situationspecific advice. The focus will be on the manoeuvre decisionaid, which provides manoeuvre advice when a suspect contact(potential hostile pirate) is detected by the merchant vessel.The three manoeuvres that have been identified in PROMERCare avoid being detected, step aside, and high-speed escape.Examples of these manoeuvres will be demonstrated.

Full Scale Testing with new Air Supported Vessel (ASV) SoftMotion MonohullMr Ulf Tudem, Effect Ships International AS, NorwayEffect Ships International AS has developed a new skirt-lessAir Supported Vessel (ASV) mono-hulled navy/paramilitaryplatform. The goal has been to combine market leadingefficiency, high speed and improved onboard motions at highspeed in waves. Extensive tank testing has been carried out atSSPA Sweden, and in collaboration with the Danish yard Tuco;an 18 m x 5,3 m full size demonstrator has been built in carbon

81


fiber with Diab Divinycell and engineering. Due to approx 40%reduced hull resistance, light weight and high efficiency VolvoPenta IPS drivelines; the vessel will have a top speed close to40 knots, and unrivalled high speed fuel consumption. Thevessel will be launched in January 2016, and the the paper willgive full scale details on performance, motions / vesselhandling and efficiency from the planned testing. The new ASVplatform can be scaled to a wide range of fast navy vessels;from 15 m to 60 m or more LOA. First images of a 60 m carbonASV with Gas Turbines and waterjets, capable of 60 knots bepresented.

Electronic Equipment Failure due to CorrosionMr Yousaf Tariq, Emba Corporation Pvt. Ltd., PakistanElectronic Equipment Failure due to Corrosion There are manyreason which are involved in electronic equipment failure i.e.temperature, humidity, dust, smoke etc. Corrosive gases arealso one of the factor which may involve in failure of equipment.Sensitivity of electronic equipment increased when “lead-free”regulation enforced on manufacturers. In data center,equipment like hard disk, servers, printed circuit boards etc.have been exposed to gaseous contamination due to increasein sensitivity. There is a worldwide standard to protectelectronic industrial electronic from corrosive gases. It is wellknown as “ANSI/ISA S71.04 – 1985 - Environmental Conditionsfor Control Systems: Airborne Contaminants”. ASHRAETechnical Committee (TC) 9.9 members also recommendedISA standard in their whitepaper on Gaseous and ParticulateContamination Guideline for data centers. TC 9.9 membersrepresented some of the major IT equipment manufacturerse.g. IBM, HP, Cisco etc. As per standard practices, first step is tomonitor air quality in data center. If contamination level showsmore than G1, it means that gas-phase air filtration is requiredother than dust/smoke air filtration. It is important that outsidefresh air entering in data center should havepressurization/re-circulated process in order to absorbcorrosive gases & to maintain level within specified limit. It isalso important that air quality monitoring should be conductedonce in a year. Temperature & humidity should also bemonitored as per standard practices & to maintain level withinspecified limit.

Hull Vane ESD on DTMB5415 Destroyer - A CFD Analysis ofthe Effect on ResistanceMr Kasper Uithof, Hull Vane BV, NetherlandsThe Hull Vane is a patented energy saving device for fastdisplacement vessels. The device, which looks like a transom-mounted hydrofoil, generates forward thrust out of the sternwave and reduces the wave system produced by the ship.Earlier work has shown that the Hull Vane is particularlysuitable for naval and coastguard vessels. Due to their wideoperating profile and seakeeping requirements these vesselsoften have a hull shape beneficial to the application of a HullVane. On offshore patrol vessels of 52m, 55 m and 108 m, CFDstudies have shown savings in the range of 10 to 21%. On the55 m OPV (built as a fast supply vessel), the CFD calculationswere validated by full scale sea trials showing resistancereductions from 10% at 12 knots to 15% at 21 knots.This paper describes the research done to quantify the effectof the Hull Vane on the DTMB5415, a hull shape of a 153 mdestroyer available in the public domain for research purposes.Resistance savings are expected to be lower than on OPVs dueto the slenderer, hollow aft ship with narrow stern. CFD runswere done at a speed of 18, 24 and 30 knots, comparing the

82


bare hull with the ship equipped with Hull Vane. The paper willinclude graphical representations of the flow lines, pressuredistribution and viscous drag for both cases, as well asnumerical data for both pressure and viscous resistance. Thewave pattern generated by the ship will be visualised for bothcases. The CFD work will be done with a RANS solver, with themodel allowed to trim and sink freely.

Hull Vane on 108m Holland-Class OPVs: Effects on FuelConsumption and SeakeepingMr Bruno Bouckaert, Hull Vane BV, NetherlandsThe consequences of applying a Hull Vane® to a Holland Class108 m Oceangoing Patrol Vessel of the Royal NetherlandsNavy were studied by means of a Computational FluidDynamics study using Fine/Marine. The effect on the annualfuel consumption was determined by linking the savingspercentages at several speeds to the operational speedprofile. This paper demonstrates that – from propulsion pointof view – a reduction in total fuel consumption can be achievedof 12.5% if a Hull Vane is installed, along with a smallmodification to the ship’s hull. At the speed at which most fuel isconsumed annually (17.5 knots), the total resistance is reducedby 15.3%. Further operational benefits were quantified, such asa reduction of the vertical accelerations at the helicopter deckwhen sailing in head waves (-13%), a reduction of the turbulentzone just behind the slipway enabling small craft launch &recovery (from 5 to 2.5 meters), an increased range (from5,000 nautical miles to 5,850 nautical miles at 15 knots) andan increased top speed (from 21.5 knots to 22.1 knots).Seakeeping analyses with and without Hull Vane wereperformed in regular head waves of 2 m and 4 m, both at aspeed of 17.5 knots.

The Future of an Unmanned Subsea PresenceMr Phil Reynolds, OceanWorks International, CanadaThe Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market has experiencedan exponential growth, leaving the subsea field behind in itswake. The advancements in communications and batterytechnologies has made the air based market the easier firstfrontier. Now the subsea market is emerging from the depthswith the advancements in Unmanned Underwater Vehicles(UUVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), and subseamonitoring via cabled observatories. This convergence oftechnology brings an exciting new frontier to subsea vehiclesand their applications.Previously, UUV missions were restricted by the necessity torecover them at regular intervals for recharging and datadumps. Now imagine if a UUV was able to be deployed withoutrecovery for a week, month or even years? The ability to have asubsea platform, using the cabled observatory infrastructure,creates a home base for the UUV. These home bases can besolitary, linked via subsea cables or connected to a surfacebuoy and would extend the UUV operating missions. Further, itwould remove the need for difficult/costly recoveries that arevery much dependent on weather windows. Such a structurewould open the door to a whole new world of missionpossibilities.The applications for this technology include littoral patrols,military covert operations, search and rescue, seabedexploration/research, under ice exploration, subsea mining,oil/gas (exploration, maintenance, monitoring, inspection, etc.)and more. Additional applications could also lead intoplanetary exploration with terrestrial ocean testing advancing

84


the technology. The following paper outlines some of these newtechnologies and explores their applications in more detail.

Autonomy in Communication-limited EnvironmentsDr Robbert van Vossen, TNO, NetherlandsDr Augustinus Beckers, TNO, NetherlandsUnmanned underwater systems become increasinglyimportant in the maritime security and defence domain.Equipped with modern sensors producing large data volumes,they provide opportunities for covert stand-off mapping andsurveillance operations. A main challenge for unmannedunderwater systems is that they have to operate in a dynamicand variable environment on which limited prior information isavailable. Because the underwater environment is limited incommunications in terms of bandwidth, range, latency,availability and reliability, it is not possible to have an operatorin-the-loop for responding to altering conditions in a timelyfashion. This has to be performed largely autonomously by theunderwater system itself using in-situ observations as input. Toachieve this the underwater system needs to be capable ofextracting actionable information from in-situ observationsusing data processing, interpretation and fusion, followed bydecision making. Because data interpretation and fusionsubstantially reduce data volumes, it also opens the possibilityto share this information in a communication-limitedenvironment with the operator. This process of building sharedsituational awareness is applied to a mine-hunting use caseand illustrated on data acquired during the Multi-NationalAutonomy Exercise 2014 (MANEX’14) organized by the NATOCentre of Maritime Research and Experimentation. A GUI hasbeen developed to demonstrate situational awareness of theunderwater system and situational awareness that can beshared in a communication-limited environment. Sharedsituational awareness is important for effective operationswith collaborating systems and for effective and efficientoperator involvement.

A new Type of Vector Sensor and its Application in AmbientNoise MeasurementProfessor Qihu Li, Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy ofScience, ChinaIt is proved that the vector hydrophone is one kind of sensor forambient noise measurement in underwater acoustics. Sincethe frequency response of vector sensor can extend to very lowband and have almost frequency-independent directivity, sowe can find many application area, including ambient noisemeasurement, low frequency signal beamforming of relativeshort array, left/right ambiguity resolution of towed arraysonar etc. The traditional vector sensor usually is consists ofone pressure sensor and two (X and Y axis) velocity sensors.The information of Z axis are neglect when they are used indeep water environment. A new type of 4 – D vector sensor isdescribed in this paper, which is consists of one pressurehydrophone and three (X,Y and Z axis) velocity sensors. Thecombined application of the data received from these four

85


sensors show some advantage comparing to singlehydrophone. A 24 meter’s long experimental array with fourvector sensors and some auxiliary sensors is designed. Someresearch results of at sea and lake experiment in the field ofambient noise measurement and underwater acousticchannel modeling are illustrated in this paper. Theexperimental results are also compared with two 32- elementhorizontal and vertical arrays. Some problems in using vectorsensors are also presented.

Modern Transmitter Technology for Sonar SystemsDr Christian Zwanzig, Wärtsilä ELAC Nautik GmbH, GermanyAffordable high-performance transmitter technology isessential for all types of advanced active sonar systems.Modern sonar transmitters face a bunch of importanttechnological challenges:Sonar transmitters must be able to handle in real-time a hugenumber of high-power transmission channels, which areindividually controllable concerning transmission frequencies,time delays, phases and amplitudes. Additionally, they mustsupport different transmission schemes and provideappropriate pulse shapes over time, reducing spectral sidelobes significantly. In order to ensure versatile applicability,sonar transmitters should be highly energy-efficient and low-cost.During the past years, Wärtsilä ELAC Nautik has addressedthese challenges and developed a new dual-use sonartransmitter, which is primarily dedicated to deep-watermultibeam systems. However, the transmitter has beendesigned in such a manner that special variants can be appliedwithin military sonar systems. The transmitter design resultsfrom a strict balancing between investment costs, productioncosts and functional capabilities to ensure broad applicability.In spite of the low-cost approach, the new sonar transmitterhas several technological advantages and provides highperformance.The new transmitter handles hundreds of individualtransmission channels and utilizes pulse width modulation withvery high time resolution, implemented on the latest FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The transmittersupports time delay beamforming, frequency modulatedpulses and different pulse shapes. In order to enable asweeping mechanism for illumination of broad space sectors,each pulse can consist of several consecutive time segmentswith individual transmission parameters.This paper presents the technological characteristics andpossible applications of the new transmitter technology ofWärtsilä ELAC Nautik.

System has been developed that leverages modularity andopen interfaces to provide increased capabilities withenhanced performance. The system architecture utilizes amodular design that is compatible with various platforms andprovides operational benefits through reduced size, weight,power, and cost. The system can be deployed for a variety ofmissions, and the modules can be swapped deck-side formaximum flexibility and readiness. The system is capable ofdirecting naval weapons, long-range, maritime ISR, wide fieldof view situational awareness, target detection and tracking,and fire control system hand off. This smaller next generationdesign and subsequent module offerings allows the system tobe deployed on fixed site towers, smaller, lighter surface craft,as well as the large scale maritime ships.The design approach of this system, as well as its advantagesand future growth possibilities is described in detail. The designhas an elevation over azimuth director with a universal andcommon mechanical and electrical interface thataccommodates mission configurable sensor modules. Thesystem weight and size is reduced by leveraging latestgeneration sensor packages, custom electronics, and compact,common optical approaches that support multiple sensorsover a single aperture. The interfaces support futurerequirements and bandwidths allowing the system to scalewith new resolutions and technologies as they mature. Thismodular approach is further carried out to includeenvironmental requirements; the addition of a shock moduleupgrades the systems shock qualification from MIL-STD-901Grade B to a Grade A.

Changing Requirements & the Impact on the Next Generationof RadarsIr Willem A. Hol, Thales, NetherlandsThe development of future systems is driven by human,technical and operational factors. Human factors consist ofsmaller crews, reduced education, training-on-the-job andless experience, while technical factors come from desiredreduction in size and weight, improvement of performance(SWaP) and the importance of minimal life-cycle costs. Theexpected variety of future missions with various types of tasks,areas of operation, environmental conditions and threatsrequire flexibility, re-configurability and multi-functionality.Furthermore, evolving and new threats including swarmattacks (surface) and saturation attacks (air) not only lead tochanging and challenging requirements, but also to aconflicting combination of requirements. High speed, highmanoeuvrability and pop-up targets ask for shorter reactiontimes, while slow air and surface targets in heavy clutterenvironments ask for longer observation times.Detection, tracking and classification of both stealthy, fast andsmall, slow moving targets asks for a combination of highupdate rate and long time-on-target. A dual-axis multi-beamradar with many simultaneous reception beams in bothazimuth and elevation, solves this conflicting combination ofrequirements, while maintaining the solid base for resolutionand ECCM.Application of dual-axis multi-beam radar technology bringsgame-changing benefits like longer observation times, fasterrevisit times, adaptable radar budget and improved accuracy,discrimination and classification capabilities, as will beillustrated with some examples.

Maritime Cooperation in South China SeaColonel ( Retd) Ramli H Nik, National Defence University Malaysia,MalaysiaGiven the uncertain status of the contemporary maritimeconfidence building measures (MCBM) in the South China Sea(SCS), the coastal states have to be committed to ensurefreedom of navigation, peace and stability prevailed. For thisreason, both ASEAN and extra-regional powers are equallyconcerned with the naval activities in this maritime domain.Therefore, the concept of MCBM is a central feature inpromoting peace and security in the maritime domain. Also,the coastal states’ obligations towards regional agreementsand international maritime conventions to further enhancingmaritime security in the region are fairly important.This paper examines the essence of maritime securityconfidence building-measures based on the three majorelements namely political will, credibility and commonality ofinterests. The aspects of political will, include among others, theconcept of Prevention of Incidents at Sea (INCSEA), anddeclaration Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality in 1971 byASEAN setting a bold commitment to establish “ a zone ofpeace.” This is the foundation of the confidence- buildingmeasures in the region. Then, the formation of coast guards ormaritime enforcement agency by various ASEAN members,and maritime exchange of intelligence further impressed uponthe aspects of credibility. Finally, in attaining commonality ofinterests, factors such as, adopting a strategic partnershipwith the extra-regional powers, and joint maritime exercisesamong the coastal states to combat piracy and the smugglingof drugs in SCS will be discussed. Thus, the combination ofthese elements will promote peace, stability and economicprogress.

Providing Flexibility, Affordability and Sustainability to theMaritime Commander through Naval Countermeasures toface the Emerging 21st Century ThreatsMr Andy Hogben, Chemring Countermeasures Limited, UnitedKingdomThe contemporary and future maritime commander facescompeting demands in the execution of his mission. Challengedby a complex operating environment, a range of potentialmissions and demands from the tactical to the strategic, themaritime commander requires scalable capabilities to meet

88


current and emerging 21st century threats, that allowsufficient flexibility to meet the demands of multiple warfaredisciplines and mission roles at varying levels of intensity.Capacity for this capability flexibility is determine by warshipdesign and its subsequent weapon outload. The latter must beoptimised (with the correct balance of capabilities) foroffensive action, self and force defence as required by theassigned mission. Intrinsic to determining this capability mix isits affordability in terms of capital investment, efficient use andthrough life inventory costs which in turn must be consideredwith sustainability to optimise the time on station of themaritime unit to deliver effect. This paper examines the use ofnaval countermeasures as a means of contributing to thisbalance of flexible capability, in an affordable manner that canbe sustained to optimise the effect the maritime commandercan deliver for 21st century operations.

AIP from an Operational PerspectiveMr Daniel Mahon, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, GermanyConventional diesel-electric submarines need to surfaceperiodically to run their diesel powered generators in order torecharge their batteries. This is when the submarine becomesmost vulnerable to detection and possible attack. Conversely,a submarine which has greatly reduced requirement tosurface is freer to choose the timing and location of surfacing.The presentation will discuss why Air Independent Propulsion(AIP) is a state-of-the-art feature of modern submarines andwill illustrate that the introduction of AIP systems is more thanonly adding a new propulsion system on board. In fact it adds anew dimension to the operation of conventional submarines.Modern AIP Systems, such as Fuel Cell Technology, enhancetactical autonomy as they turn the imperative of snorkellinginto a feasible consideration. Furthermore they ensure theinitiative to remain with the submarine, enhance theoperational performance and at last secure the overalllegitimacy of submarines.My career as a submarine officer began on a German HDWClass 206A Submarine. I then served for many years on theGerman HDW Class 212A Submarine, ascending to the rank ofCommanding Officer. At ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems I amworking as a naval analyst and as a captain on new built HDWclass submarines during sea acceptance trials. Reflecting onmy personal experience in multilateral exercises, long termdeployments, NATO Operations and various sea acceptancetrials, this presentation will highlight the tactical andoperational perspective of AIP submarines and its strategicimplications.

Local Industrial Participation in Large International NavalProcurement Projects from a Supplier‘s PerspectiveMr Christian Norbert Mueller, Siemens AG, GermanyLocal industrial participation in large international

89


procurement projects from a supplier‘s perspective.Many countries nowadays demand on participation of theirlocal industry in large international procurement projects. Thisis obvious as the specific country needs to argue the use oflarge amounts of money to their habitants. The country wantsto support its own industry and push its own economy. Inaddition maintenance and support of these projects need tobe done independently from other countries influence.All these facts require local expertise, which is not alwaysavailable. Therefore a compromise between offsetrequirements, local participation and transfer of technologyneeds to be evaluated.Siemens as supplier for naval products and systems for manydecades has executed a lot of international projectsincorporating different local procurement strategies.This paper will give an overview of different approaches ofindustrial participation and how localisation concepts can beimplemented. A review from the first beginning up to today’sdemands will show the challenges and opportunities.

The Simplified Interaction Tool for Efficient and AccurateUnderwater Shock Analysis in Naval Platform DesignMr Johannes E, van Aanhold, TNO, NetherlandsMr Johan T. Tuitman, TNO, NetherlandsMr Johannes A. A. Vaders, Ministry of Defence, Defence MaterialOrganisation, NetherlandsIn order to satisfy the need for good quality UNDerwaterEXplosion (UNDEX) response estimates of naval platforms,TNO developed the Simplified Interaction Tool (SIT). SIT is amodule of user routines linked to LS-DYNA, which generatesthe UNDEX loading on the wet hull of a 3D finite element modelof the platform structure by means of sophisticated physicalapproximation. This eliminates the need for a 3D modelling ofthe surrounding water, such as necessary for advancedcoupled finite element/hydrocode simulations. Both the shockwave stage with reflections and cavitation and the subsequentgas bubble loading are modelled in SIT. For surface vessels, SITwas validated using experimental data from full-scale shipshock trials. A significant new development is application tosubmarines, where SIT is further developed using results fromsimulations using a Lagrangian hydrocode. A typical simulationof a detailed 3D finite element model of a naval platform takesonly hours for the shock wave stage, against days or weeks fora comparable coupled fluid structure simulation. Its simulationefficiency has made SIT a prime UNDEX simulation tool for usein platform design. The SIT allows to assess the response toUNDEX loads of novel structural designs and new UNDEXscenarios beyond current design rules. The SIT results alsoprovide a first principles prediction of the shock environmenton-board which is especially relevant for sensitive equipment.This paper provides a short overview of the physicalapproximations of the SIT, recent enhancements andexamples of applications.

Underwater Noise Analysis – State-of-the-Art SimulationsMr Carsten Worms, DNV GL, GermanyThis paper describes the DNV GL approach to underwaternoise analysis based on simulations, motivated by stealthrequirements (navy) or environmental restrictions (civilian).Combining of two approaches allows covering frequenciesfrom vibro-acoustic range to virtually unlimited highfrequencies. Both structure-borne and hydrodynamic noisesources are considered. Propeller noise can be considered by afully empirical model (combining basic propeller design dataand full-scale data regression) or by a semi-empirical model

90


(computing the tip vortex strength for the actual propellergeometry). For narrow-band frequencies below 80 Hz, a jointdevelopment software project with Free Field Technology(ACTRAN) is used applying finite and infinite element methodsfor full fluid-structure coupling. For frequencies above 80 Hz,our in-house code GL.NoiseFEM is used with semi-empiricalnoise source excitations. Underwater noise propagation fromthe outer shell is computed by the in-house code GL.UWNoise.The theoretical background to all codes is explained withstrengths and limitations. Examples of full-scale validatedapplications are shown, both for deep and for shallow water.

Remotely Operated Multi-Shot Mine Neutralisation SystemMr Chris Lade, SAAB, SwedenThe paper will seek to explore a potential solution to some ofthe problems associated with current Mine Neutralisationmethods. It will compare existing one-shot and ROV placedblast charge systems with a new system that Saab isdeveloping the Multi-Shot Mine Neutralisation System(MuMNS) and describe the method of operation of the systemdetailing particularly the system’s operation from anUnmanned Surface Vessel.In the early 2000s the one-shot systems were very much seenas the mine disposal silver bullet and proved their credentials inthe Shatt El Arab MCM operations when they were operatedby the Royal Navy for the first time in anger. However thatoperation also highlighted a number of operational shortfallsthat perhaps were not fully appreciated before theiracceptance into service. Over the past two years Saab Seaeyehas been exploring its new concept, MuMNS, that will tacklemany of the issues.The Saab system will not only increase operational efficiency itwill be integrated with an Unmanned Surface Vessel therebytaking Mine Neutralisation to the next technical level. Designedas a modular system and with a technical vision for through lifedevelopment MuMNS is an exciting concept that has achievedcommercial recognition as part of the French UK joint projectMaritime Mine Countermeasures, MMCM. The paper willhighlight the operational concept, the technical challengesfaced in the design of the Remotely Operated Vehicle, the MineNeutralisation Weapons and the integration into the USV it willthen go on to explore future developments as part of the SaabMCM Toolbox vision.

A New Generation of Hybrid ROV/AUV Vehicles for MCMOperationsMr Jan Siesjo, SAAB Underwater Systems AB, SwedenOver the last ten years the distinction between ROVs and AUVshas become more and more diffuse. Today the latest vehiclesproduced by Saab are all hybrids to some extent. The smalltwo man portable Sea Wasp ROV system shares the samesoftware and components with the full-fledged Sabertoothhovering AUV system. This means that they are booth capableof waypoint navigation, obstacle avoidance, dynamicpositioning etc. On the ROVs these functions enable unskilledpilots to do difficult tasks. On the AUVs these same functions

91


enable not only traditional AUV functions but also near realtime control over low bandwidth acoustic links. From an MCMperspective this technology is especially useful in applicationssuch as USV based MCM and multi role ships wherecommunication is limited and space is critical.This paper will present some of the latest Saab USV basedMCM and hybrid ROV systems and what sort of operationsthat are enabled by this technology.

Whether the mission isunderwater construction, maritime security, search andrescue, or scientific research; divers have a critical need to viewlife support, communication, navigation, and other sensor datain real time regardless of the ambient visibility conditions.Waveguide optical display technology couples images from amicro display into an optical waveguide, translates thoseimages through a series of internal reflections, finally exitingtoward the eye to provide a magnified, see-through image infront of the viewer. This emerging technology has the potentialto radically transform diver visual display systems by enablingthe diver’s face mask itself to become a true see-throughhead-up display, similar to something from an Iron Man or StarTrek movie.Naval Surface Warfare Center-Panama City Division (NSWCPCD) is the US Navy’s leading laboratory for research,development, testing, evaluation, and technology transition ofdiving and life support systems, including diver visual displaysystems. Under a recent international government sponsoredtask plan, NSWC PCD used polarized waveguide opticaldisplay technology to build a concept prototype binocular see-through head-up display inside a diver’s full face mask.This paper will describe diver visual display systems,waveguide optical display technology, development of theconcept prototype, results of diver evaluations, andrecommendations for follow-on research and development.

First Operational Evaluation of the new French NavyMultiplatform CapabilityDr Hervé Fargetton, Ministry of Defence (DGA), FranceAfter a research plan of 10 years, DGA decided to carry-out anexperimentation at sea of the multiplatform capability on theFrench Navy ships, relying on the industry to develop the onboard system. This capability called TSMPF allows the hostships to elaborate automatically an enriched situationalawareness by multiplatform data fusion of the sensordetections. A no dedicated IP network using radio SATCOMand LOS links is used for data exchange between ships. Theaim of TSMPF capability is to improve the tracking of threats ashelicopters, fighters, drones, theatre missiles whatever theenvironment (near the coast, jamming) by a composite trackingtaking benefit of all the radars detections of the fleet.In mid-2015, DGA and industry have begun with French Navyan evaluation of TSMPF capability on the main French ships.The evaluation will last for two years and is organized aroundthree technical experimentations at sea (XP) followed byoperational deployments:XP1 has been realised in November 2015 with a Horizon frigateand the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier,XP2 and XP3 will be realised in September 2016 with twoHorizon Frigates, a FREMM frigate and the Charles de Gaulleaircraft carrier.During experimentations, DGA and industry verify the technicalperformances of the TSMPF capability on the host ships andtrain French navy sailors to its exploitation. The technicalexperimentations are followed by the exploitation of thecapability during the operational deployment of the Frenchnavy carrier strike group. This task is performed by the sailorswith ground support of DGA and industry. It constitutes amajor opportunity to take advantage of the capability and toassess its military value all along the mission.The paper presents some results of the XP1 and also of thefollowing operational evaluation. The improvements oftracking are illustrated on several criteria (track creationrange, continuity, accuracy, discrimination) by several views ofmultiplatform tracks compared to the local tracks built onmonoplatform tracks and TDL tracks.

Directed Energy Weapons: Firepower for Tomorrow’s NavalForceMr Pascal Paulissen, TNO, NetherlandsThe introduction of Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) in theoperational theatre is only a matter of time. And time is short:some high energy lasers and high power electromagneticradiation systems are ready-to-field and more are in their finalstage of development.What impact will – and indeed should - these new weaponshave in the maritime environment? We will guide the audiencealong the major issues and benefits associated with DEW, topresent a notional roadmap for the transition from emerging

93


technology to fielded capability.The unique potential of DEW is expressed by its unparalleledaccuracy of effects delivery and dosage, reduced time-to-target and re-target, affordable kill potential, deep magazine,and platform integration readiness. We will show how thesefeatures could be matched with current and future operationalneeds to effectively engage targets.not being involved with DEW is also addressed. We willincrease awareness of the disrupting nature of DEW, theexpected proliferation, and the challenges associated withdeveloping DEW protection.We will describe the emerging technologies, their envisageduse in operations, as well as issues and benefits involved. Thegathered insights are presented in a roadmap for the purposeof shaping this new capability for tomorrow’s naval force.

BMD Demonstration on Spanish Navy F-102 in ASD-15Mr Michael Koch, Lockheed Martin, United StatesOn June 22, 2007, Spain’s Frigate, Méndez-Nuñéz (F-104),became the first Spanish warship to detect and track amedium-range separating ballistic missile. Demonstrating thiscapability on a Spanish Aegis frigate was a major milestone forthe Spanish Armada. In late 2014, the Armada in conjunctionwith MDA and Lockheed Martin initiated a feasibility study toassess the options for a Spanish frigate to participate in theAt-Sea Demo 2015 (ASD-15), a multinational sea-basedmissile defense exercise set to take place off the northwestcoast of Scotland in 2015. Being conducted under the directionof the Maritime Theater Missile Defence (MTMD) Forum, ASD-15 was intended to assess and evaluate networkinteroperability between participating units, with an integratedair and missile defense capstone event including a StandardMissile-3 (SM-3) guided-missile intercept. During this event,the Spanish frigate Almirante Juan de Borbón (F-102),equipped with a temporary computer program upgrade,successfully demonstrated the ability to detect and track aBallistic Missile target and transmit a cue message to a remoteUS Aegis BMD ship and lab. This event builds on the success ofFlight Test Standard Missile-12 (FTM-12) and marks anothersignificant milestone in Spain’s incremental pursuit of a tacticalsea-based ballistic missile defense capability.This paper will summarize the work done collaboratively byLockheed Martin, the Spanish Armada and MDA to ready theSpanish frigate F-102 and her crew for participation in ASD-15, and outline the objectives, goals and results of thissuccessful exercise.

Aegis BMD Flight and Ground Test 2015 SummaryMr David Crist, Lockheed Martin MS&T, United StatesThe US Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) is equippedwith Aegis BMD destroyers, cruisers, and Aegis Ashoreintegrated with the Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD),Terminal High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD), Army Navy /Transportable Radar Surveillance and Control Model 2(AN/TPY-2) TPY-2 sensors, and Command and , Control,Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) systemsto provide defense of US Territory as well as allies abroad. Asthe interaction between these elements of the BMDS becomesmore challenging and demanding, flight tests and ground testsdemonstrating the capability of the integrated BMDS arebecoming ever critical.2015 was a very busy year for the Aegis BMD flight and groundtest community as it successfully conducted numerous BMDSlevel tests with THAAD, C2BMC, AN/TPY-2, Space Based

94


Infrared System (SBIRS), and GMD. As the BMDS grows incomplexity and capability, these “system of system” level testsare a critical part of assessing operational readiness anddepth. Several flight tests exercising Aegis BMD equippeddestroyers and Aegis Ashore at Pacific Missile Range Facility(PMRF) demonstrated Aegis BMD’s capability to successfullyexecute each of its key mission areas, including organicengagements, cueing other BMDS systems, long range searchand track, as well as engagements using remote sources. Inaddition to the testing done at sea, several BMDS level groundtests were conducted using Hardware in the Loop facilities aswell as deployed assets using the Single StimulationFramework (SSF) architecture. Numerous complex scenariosspanning multiple geographical battlefields demonstrating thebreadth of Aegis BMD’s capability integrated into the largerBMDS. This paper describes the missions that weresuccessfully conducted in 2015, the objectives of these tests,and the accomplishments associated with each mission. Theinformation gathered from these tests will reduce risk forfuture Aegis BMD/BMDS development efforts and providecritical feedback to decision makers and operational forces.

Hull Vane BVCosterweg 1B6702AA WageningenNetherlandsTelephone: +31 31 742 5818Web: www.hullvane.comContact: Bruno Bouckaert([email protected])

Hull Vane is an energy-saving

and seakeeping device for

medium-speed and fast

displacement vessels. The Hull

Vane looks like a hydrofoil

mounted below the transom and

has the following effects:

It develops forward thrust out of

the upward flow under the aft

ship

It reduces the stern wave and

therefore the vessel’s

wavemaking resistance

It develops vertical lift to keep the

running trim down at speed

It reduces the pitching, heaving,

rolling and yawing when sailing in

waves (and therefore reduces the

added resistance).

104


The Hull Vane is particularly

suitable for the faster naval ships,

such as OPV’s, corvettes, frigates

and destroyers. It can be easily

retrofitted to existing vessels and

incorporated in a new design. The

advantages for naval and

coastguard vessels are the

following:

Reduced fuel consumption

(savings range from 5 to 20%

depending on ship type and

operational profile).

Reduced emissions (CO2, PM,

NOx, SOx, etc.) by the same

amount

Increased range

Increased “silent speed” and top

speed

Increased comfort onboard due

to reduced motions in waves

Reduced visual signature through

reduction of stern wave

Safer helicopter and RHIB

operations due to reduced

vertical accelerations

For newbuildings: reduced

installed power to achieve a

certain top speed

Very short payback periods, even

for vessels sailing at a low speed

most of the time

The Hull Vane has successfully

been installed on three vessels,

with an accumulated 22 years of

operation without a single defect.

It is a fixed steel structure without

moving parts.
