Logistic Challenges for Modern Sonar Systems

Atlas Elektronik is a leading systems house for maritime electronics and stands for maritime security world-wide. Our combat and sonar systems are integrated on various naval platforms, like frigates, corvettes or conventional submarines. Besides building and integration phases for such systems, especially the operational phase of 25 or more years is a big challenge regarding reliability, maintainability and supportability. Special demands have to be fulfilled. To cope with these challenges in an early stage, the methods of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) are implemented already in the design phase. Thus, it is possible to increase the operational availability while simultaneously reducing the life-cycle costs.
