The role
As naval ships are a key asset to any military (naval) force, their survivability is a critical priority for retaining control over any mission. The survivability of a naval ship depends on three criteria incorporated in its design:
For many years, designing the survivability of naval ships was based on considering threats from conventional weapons like missiles, mines, and torpedoes. However, recent technological advancements have introduced a host of new threats and challenges to consider when designing for naval ship survivability.
More emphasis has been placed on the naval ship's ability to remain undetected through camouflage. Ingenious new designs alter the signatures a naval ship emits or reflects. By signatures, we refer to the extent a ship can be detected through noise, infrared, radar, and magnetic interference.
Damen Naval is continuously developing and improving next-generation vulnerability and susceptibility reducing technologies. We leverage the latest small-scale scientific results and develop ways to scale and apply these into actual naval ship design, to keep increasing the survivability of naval ships through camouflage. Additionally, supporting research is needed to provide tools and methods to further optimize the design of these systems.
Various graduate research or internship projects are available related to this topic, all supported by subject matter experts within the company. Some possible subjects are:
