Milgem's Sea Senator Torpedo Defense System.

[Jigs]

The SEA SENTOR™ Surface Ship Torpedo Defense system has been in-service since October 2004, protecting fleets from the increased threat of torpedo attack. With 16 systems delivered to the UK’s Royal Navy, installations on US naval platforms and a recent order by the Turkish Navy, SEA SENTOR™ is the most advanced system available in the market today.

The SEA SENTOR™ system utilizes a towed acoustic passive array especially designed for the detection of torpedoes to classify and localize in-water threats. Tactical advice is presented by the system that is specifically geared to the make, model and current operating mode of the detected threats – single or salvo. Detection ranges to initiate successful defeating tactics are achieved in all conditions; whether operating solo in deep water or in-convoy in busy shipping lanes and littoral waters Countermeasure action is automatically performed according to the tactical advice for the towed system elements. Expendable countermeasures are launched by the operator when prompted to do so.


The system consists of

* an acoustic passive towed array
* a towed acoustic countermeasure (flexible)
* a single-drum winch
* a processing cabinet
* 2 display consoles
* 2 expendable acoustic device launchers (1 port, 1 starboard)
* 16 expendable acoustic devices (8 in each launcher)

Sounds like a promising system to integrate into the Milgem. But all systems has their weaknesses. What is this systems weakness ?
