Submarine Equipment and Support

Advanced maritime composites are material of choice for subsea applications where they are subject to extreme operational environments. The composite materials offer corrosion resistance, giving them increased durability and resulting in reduced through-life cost. Their robust and durable properties mean they are able to last extended periods of time in a saltwater environment whilst being as difficult as possible to detect on enemy sonar or radar.

Our composites are engineered to be lightweight, damage-tolerant and corrosion-resistant in order to withstand both the harsh environments in which they are deployed, and the pressures they experience. Our products have included rudders, hydroplanes, ducts, sonar housings and periscope fairings. We also ensure suitability for reduced acoustic signatures and radar cross-section using integrated technologies.
