Decentralised platform management control system

Article Abstract:

Siemens AG has developed a decentralized management control system for submarines. The company's Platform Management System allows the submarine crew to control and monitor the technical systems from a centralized control console with maximum safety and efficiency. The system has a very high automation level, including fully automatic modes or complete sequences of operation. All the automation levels can be covered through the use of industrial Ethernet, Profibus and the actuator/sensor interface.

PM generators for submarines

Article Abstract:

The advantages and consequences of installing permanent magnet (PM) generators on submarines are discussed. The PM method involves the replacement of excitation equipment, such as windings including voltage control system, with permanent magnets. The modularity of PM technology allows the assembly of a variety of generators with different power output but identical characteristics. In addition, the high flexibility and compactness of PM machines qualify them for use in future drive concepts.

3D radars for optimum air-defence and airspace control

Article Abstract:

An integrated and adaptive defense system composed of 3D Multi-Function Radar (3D MFR) inclusive of its defense missiles has been developed to defend naval ships against attacks by aircrafts and missiles. Among the capabilities of the 3D MFR are an electronically steered antenna beam which can scan the hemisphere and an innovative signal processing which can classify returned pulses by range, filters clutter and is capable of automatic target detection.
