Terma and DCNS develop fully automatic anti-torpedo decoy system
Terma and DCNS have developed a fully automatic anti-torpedo decoy system. The system uses the Terma 130mm Soft Kill Weapon System (SKWS) to fire DCNS CANTO-V anti-torpedo decoy. The SKWS upgrade for twin AAW and ASW purpose use the jointly developed software with advanced algorithm (embedding DCNS CONTRALTO-V reaction software) to support fully automatic firing. This provides the ship with an effective protection against torpedoes attacks. The decoys will be placed in the water in the best way to confuse the torpedo together with ship evasive manoeuvres proposal.
With advanced algorithms, this system will provide the best firing solution and protection of all types of ships against torpedo attack.
Terma develops products and systems for defense, non-defense, and security applications, including command and control systems, radar systems, self-protection systems for ships and aircraft, space technology, and advanced Aerostructures for the international aircraft industry. The company has a total staff of 1,200 and realized 2010/11 revenues of 190 mil euro. Terma A/S is headquartered at Aarhus, Denmark, and maintains international subsidiaries and operations in The Netherlands, Germany, the U.S., and Singapore.
