Exelis (NYSE:XLS) will highlight a sophisticated portfolio of
naval and undersea technologies at the 2015 IMDEX ASIA
International Maritime Defense Exhibition and Conference, booth
K24, May 19-21, at the Changi Exhibition Center in Singapore.
At the show, the largest maritime defense exhibition in Asia
Pacific, Exelis will showcase a range of strategic capabilities to
support the evolving naval missions of customers in the region.
These include shipboard sonar systems, command and control (C2) and
data link technologies, and a complement of advanced manned and
unmanned mine defense systems.
“For decades, Exelis has supported the maritime defense missions
of our customers in Asia Pacific, and we remain committed to
helping them meet the region’s evolving military challenges,” said
Jim Brunelle, senior director of the Exelis undersea systems
business. “Our cutting-edge technology provides the reliability and
strategic capabilities our customers and allies need to adapt and
succeed.”
Among the key systems on display at the show, Exelis will
feature:
- Variable-depth sonar solutions such as
the Model 980 Active, Low-Frequency Towed Sonar (ALOFTS) system.
ALOFTS combines a proven acoustic source with a passive towed array
using the most advanced commercial technology and a proven rugged
design to counter quiet threats in the littoral or deep ocean.
Exelis ALOFTS systems are already deployed on board the Republic of
Singapore Navy’s Formidable class frigates.
- Hull-mounted sonar systems such as the
Model 997, designed to provide maximum performance in search,
detection, tracking and classification of targets at the lowest
cost and risk. The 997 provides an operationally proven capability
for anti-submarine self-defense, excellent self-defense against
torpedoes, and the ability to avoid mine-like objects.
- A shore-based training system based on
Exelis ALOFTS and Model 997 sonar technology. The system
incorporates all the sonar technology present in a shipboard
environment, including the same user consoles. The system allows
operators to train comprehensively against active and passive
undersea targets in simulated scenarios.
- The Command Management Information
system (CMIS), which provides operators with the tools to succeed
in a range of naval missions, from helicopter control to search and
rescue. The Exelis CMIS design incorporates cutting-edge hardware,
software and significant commercial components and is applicable to
a broad range of maritime platforms. The system can also be easily
extended to support new sensor packages such as electronic support
measures or advanced sonar systems. The Exelis CMIS is currently
deployed with the Norwegian Coast Guard.
- Advanced moored, magnetic, acoustic and
influence minesweeping systems, including the Mechanical
Minesweeping System and Combination Influence Sweep system. Navies
worldwide rely on Exelis integrated minesweeping systems to counter
the threat posed by sea mines and protect vital waterways, ports,
and harbors. A producer of cutting-edge mine countermeasures for 40
years, Exelis has designed and developed the next generation of
mine countermeasure systems for faster and safer clearing of sea
mines.
- The Network-Enabled Tactical Link
System (NETLS), a state-of-the-art data link buffer, translation
and management system that offers customers a real-time, multilink
data exchange capability to optimize overall force coordination in
a wide variety of missions. NETLS interfaces with a range of
legacy and forward-deployed systems and can function as a C2
system, or as a data link server to an enterprise C2 system. With
more than 125 data link systems deployed worldwide, including
shipboard, airborne, and command centers, NETLS is currently
deployed within NATO as well as Asia-Pacific nations.
