Systems Engineering & Assessment (SEA), a technology company based in the UK, proudly displays its advanced decoy launcher Ancilia, at the company’s booth in the ongoing show.
According to Paul Parsons, SEA’s Director of International Business Development, the decoy launcher was designed to have a quick reaction to ensure its effectiveness against current and future threats.
“The Ancilia is a trainable decoy launcher,” Paul said. “It’s been specifically developed to counter the hypersonic missile threats.”
“In the past, a lot of ships rely on fixed mounted launchers so if a missile is heading towards it, the ship must manoeuvre to be able to use its decoys effectively,” he continued. Modern hypersonic anti-ship missiles have diminished the efficacy of such decoys owing to their velocity, which significantly shortens the duration between the detection of these missiles and their impact to the targeted ships.
Ancilia uses a motorised platform, enabling it to swiftly orient itself towards incoming missiles to launch its decoys without requiring the ship to alter its course. Moreover, the system facilitates aiming the decoy launches at any angles, including up to 90 degrees upward.
“We have been awarded a large contract in March to supply the system to the Royal Navy. It will be installed on the Type 26 platform, including Type 31, and Type 45. We also got very strong interests from several nations during this show,” he added.
Parsons further explained another product being displayed in the SEA booth: the KraitSense towed array sonar. He said that due its smaller footprint compared to other conventional towed sonar, this system can be fitted on and operated from much smaller vessels such as Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) to small patrol craft, even on Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), giving the navies more flexibility and options for their Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability.
“The KraitSense provides a thin-line towed array in a 50-metre long module or segment. Three of these modules can be connected together to form an array up to 150-metre long,” he said. He also stressed that the system is purposely designed to be much easier to use since any underwater noises it captures will be automatically analysed and categorised owing to its large sound signature database.
