Product description

The Passive Defense System is designed to protect a naval vessel against threats employing both passive and active detection and guidance methods. Its primary purpose is to reduce the platform’s detectability and decrease the effectiveness of hostile weapons, in particular underwater weapons equipped with non-contact fuzes and missile systems guided by the vessel’s physical signatures. The system continuously monitors selected physical fields generated by the vessel and supports their minimization through cooperation with onboard signature reduction systems. This enables the reduction of magnetic, electric, thermal, and vibration signatures that may serve as sources of detection or activation of adversary weapons.

Data acquired by the system is processed and presented on dedicated operator consoles in the form of clear visualizations, enabling continuous assessment of the vessel’s passive protection status. The system supports the crew in conducting maritime operations safely under diverse operational conditions, increasing platform survivability and mission effectiveness.
