Data Acquisition/Monitoring/Analysis
Launch data Analyzer
TES
TES104A is an evaluation system
of the lightweight torpedo A244/s
model performances.
Such
device
enables
the
management and analysis of the
data
stored
in
the
system
acquisition which is located in the
torpedo exercise head, after a sea
trial.
Data Acquisition/Monitoring/Analysis
Armament Device ADC101A: functional control
ADC101A works as a tool to test
and evaluate the arming device of
torpedoes Black Shark, A184 and
A244 model.
It
has
been
conceived
to
maximize the user’s safety and
includes a device for testing then
resistance
of
EEDs
(Electro
Explosive Devices) built according
to DEF-STAN-66-6 rules.
Data Acquisition/Monitoring/Analysis
On Screen Display Interface
OSD is a system for analog and digital data
visualization. Data are shown on video
display or screenshots.
Applications:
• Bathymeter for videoinspections of wells,
with depth data visualization and activating
preset alarm.
• On screen visualization of geographical
references via GPS link and speed & distance
covered calculation.
• Visualization of uplifting system load data
with preset alarm as max payload is
exceeded.
Underwater Acoustics
Underwater Acoustic Receiver
SSB
SSB receives ”pinger” using the Single
Side Band demodulation technique
that enables the decoding of signals
coming from underwater phones as
well as listening machinery sounds
from vessels and submarines.
Main features:
• Long endurance of internal batteries
• External power line 24VDC
• Manual tuning from 5kHz to 100 kHz
• Two fixed frequences
• Listening
simoultaneously
by
loudspeaker and/or headphone
• Rugged case
Underwater Acoustics
Multibeam Underwater Receiver
RSM101A
RSM101A allows to listen
underwater signals/noises in band
from 0,1kHz to 58 kHz.
Such device monitors the acoustic
noise in audio band 0,1kHz ÷ 16
kHz.
It can search Pinger in all directions
in band 20kHz ÷ 58 kHz.
RSM is conceived as modular
equipment with regards to in band
amplification and traslation, allowing
the re-configuration according to
operating requirements.
Underwater Acoustics
Telemetry data Decoder System
SDT 101A
SDT 101A gets acoustic pulses coming
from TAS (Acoustic Syncronized
Trasmitter) of torpedo MU-90 model in
exercise configuration.
Such pulses are processed in order to
show the user the telemetry information.
Underwater Acoustics
Target emission control device
CEB102A
CEB102A is an autonomous
system for acoustic
monitoring.
Such device performs level
measurements on pulses or
noise and allows the user to
listen to the sounds coming
from marine environment
where the supplied
transducer is submerged.
Operating modes can change
according to the device
setup.
Non standard systems
for industrial automation
Lighting system for Airports
Steady current generator for fix LED plants
CCR
CCR is a power unit that
supplies and handles the LED
based visual signals of an
airport landing strip.
Non standard systems
For industrial automation
Lighting system for Special Forces
S-EAL
S-EAL is a portable-lamps system
which is employed for building
provisional landing zones.
The pilot of the aircraft can control the
sequence of landing manoeuvres by
turnin’ on/off the lamps via VHF.
