SAES is an expert in the complex area of signal underwater processing, developing advanced technology for security and defence in marine environments.
A significant number of products developed by SAES have dual applications in the civil and defence markets, such as intruder detection sonar.
Founded in 1989, SAES is classified as a strategic national company through NAVANTIA, INDRA and THALES its shareholders.
SAES specialises in the study, design and manufacture of sonar systems and underwater technology for security and defence.
Our systems offer high-reliability, easy operation and low-maintenance costs and include:
SPAS – Sonobuoy Processing Acoustic Systems
ASW systems are based on sonobuoys for Maritime patrol aircraft (MPA), helicopter and surface vessels.
Building on more than 25 years of expertise in acoustic processing, SAES has developed and manufactured a complete family of Sonobuoy Processing Acoustic Systems (SPAS) that covers both Air and Naval ASW operations.
SPAS is capable of processing up to 64 passive and active sonobuoys simultaneously, including the most advanced digital sonobuoys:
To support SPAS systems in ASW operations, SAES provides ground systems for post-mission analysis and training such as:
ROASW – Remote Operation ASW System
Always looking for new solutions, SAES has developed the ROASW – Remote Operation ASW System, a new concept that meets the new requirements of the ASW missions. Benefits include:
Prioritize the use of smaller and faster combat ships (LCS, OPC, Corvettes, FAC) able to share tactical and intelligence information.
In order to provide the navy and allied countries with the most advanced technology for electronics and underwater acoustics to meet new challenges in security and protection, SAES offer complete solutions in the following areas:
Electric fields are gaining greater interest in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and mine warfare (MW) operations as every ship generates a measurable underwater electric potential (UEP) in the conductive sea water environment that can be detected at a range comparative to any other ship signature.
Once detected a target, must be known, accurately and quickly, what platform it is and its characteristics.
If anything is changing the acoustic signature on-board the vessel, ONMS can be the difference between being detectable or not.
DDS-03 is a high-frequency active sonar specifically designed to protect harbours, anchored vessels and critical infrastructures against underwater threats.
SAES, Indra and Airbus are participating in the Santiago Phase II programme, a strategic initiative led by the Ministry of Defence within the Special Modernisation Programmes (PEM) of the Industrial and Technological Plan for Security and Defence.
Deployment carried out in collaboration with the Spanish Navy confirms the technological maturity of this acoustic detection system for the protection of critical infrastructure and maritime security.
