Ship shields - integrated ship self defense system
Article Abstract:
The Successful Technical Evaluation (TECHEVAL) program of the US Navy is tasked with developing the antiship missile defense of major non-Aegis ships. TECHEVAL conducted live-fire testing in three target conditions and was able to successfully accomplish four target kills in four simulated attacks. The attacks successfully defended were against single- and dual-wave missiles and it was also able to detect, track and destroy missile threats with the Rolling Airframe Missile and the Phalanx Close-In Weapons System.

RAM on target for LPD 7
Article Abstract:
The Rolling Airframe System (RAM) Mk 31 Guided Missile Weapon System is the inner layer anti-air warfare weapon of the LPD 17 amphibious assault ship. The RAM is a supersonic, light-weight, quick reaction missile system which defend ships by obliterating anti-ship missiles. A shipboard post-launch support system is not necessary because of its dual-mode passive RF-to-IR guidance design. It is capable of high firepower in countering threats due to its independent missile-seeking system.

ITI developed new time domain ship motion program for high sea state conditions (SPLAShMo)
Article Abstract:
Indal Technologies Inc (ITI) has developed a 12-degrees-of-freedom helicopter-ship dynamic interface computer program called Dynaface. The program is used to analyze the interface parameters between helicopter and ship throughout all phases of on-deck operations. The company has also developed a fully 3-dimensional non-linear, time-domain ship motion computer model called SPLAShMo to boost the program's analytical capabilities.
