Torpedo countermeasures system for submarines

Article Abstract:

Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft AG has developed the new CIRCE Torpedo Countermeasures System (TCM). CIRCE is designed to meet the requirements for a soft kill TCM for the new Type 212 submarines for the German and Italian Navy. The system consists of five main components: remote control unit with functional interface, container control units with junction boxes, swing-out devices, launch containers and effectors. CIRCE uses threat-matched jam and decoy functions to counter modern and advanced lightweight torpedoes as well as wire- and non-wire guided acoustic homing heavyweight torpedoes.

Submarine batteries since WWI

Article Abstract:

The development of submarine battery technology with special consideration of the progress and the interdependence with the propulsion systems' performance data, where submarines and batteries are mostly built in Germany, are discussed. The lead-acid battery concept is well understood and designers are trying to design batteries with customer-specific characteristics like for Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) submarines.
