The US Navy is preparing to significantly strengthen its underwater defense capabilities as Ultra Maritime Defense Company (a unit specializing in underwater combat technology) wins a contract to develop the next-generation ADC.
The new technology is expected to help US warships deal more effectively with increasingly intelligent and difficult-to-detect torpedoes.
The new system named ADC MK6 is designed to be deployed quickly in combat situations. The device operates by emitting strong sound signals to jam the enemy torpedo's guidance system, causing them to be distracted from the target.
This is considered an important additional layer of protection, especially in the context of modern naval warfare increasingly dependent on underwater technology.
The ADC MK6 system has higher operating readiness than previous generations, while increasing sound power and compatibility with many different naval platforms.
This allows the system to be integrated on many types of warships, from surface ships to submarines, thereby significantly improving the fleet's survivability against advanced torpedo threats.
Ultra Maritime defense company said that the maritime security environment is becoming more competitive than ever, as new types of torpedoes have the ability to be stealthy, accurately self-guided and easily overcome traditional baits.
Therefore, the demand for smart, fast and highly adaptable defense solutions is increasing globally.
The ADC MK6 development program also takes advantage of the company's decades of experience in undersea defense.
Ultra Maritime has provided many systems to the navies of allied countries, including sonar buoys, sonar and sound countermeasures.
Internal research investments that have lasted for many years have helped businesses build a strong enough technology platform to develop new generation equipment.
With ADC MK6, the US Navy expects to maintain its technological advantage and better protect its naval forces in the future.
