A highlight is the THURBON CEMA database management system, a “world-first” in secure and efficient CEMA data storage, visualisation, and analysis.
MASS will also present its countermeasures development service, which combines expertise in physics, defence, technology, and mathematics to create, test, and evaluate countermeasures.
At the DSEI event, SEA will showcase its Ancilia trainable countermeasures system and the latest developments from its partnership with the Terma Group.
Ancilia offers rapid protection against modern dynamic threats, including hypersonic and ballistic missiles, and is compatible with various maritime platforms.
