Naval Degaussing System

Naval frigate fitted with the degaussing system

A steel-hulled ship or submarine generates a large magnetic field that distorts the Earth's field and triggers magnetic-sensitive underwater mines. The Naval Degaussing System cancels this magnetic signature by driving precisely controlled currents through onboard coils — making the vessel magnetically invisible. Compliant with NATO STANAG 1333 AMP14 and deployed by major navies worldwide.

Key Differentiators

  • NATO STANAG 1333 AMP14 compliant
  • Centralized or decentralized architecture — same equipment, different layout
  • Open, modular design — new-build or retrofit to existing vessels
  • MTTF: 100,000 to 1,000,000 operating hours; service life > 20 years
  • Crew maintenance < 4 hours; cybersecurity-hardened Control Unit
  • NATOSTANAG 1333 AMP14 Compliant
  • Service Life:> 20 Years
  • Maintenance:< 4 Hours By Crew

Use Cases

Surface Ships (Frigates, OPVs)
Reduces magnetic signature — minimises risk of triggering magnetic mines in contested sea lanes.
Mine Counter-Measure Vessels
Essential — MCM vessels operate directly in mined waters; zero signature is mission-critical.
Submarines
Reduces detectability by MAD systems and magnetic mines.
New-Build Vessels
Centralized architecture during construction — optimised cable runs.
Retrofit to Existing Fleets
Decentralized architecture — rapid upgrade without structural modification.
