RAM

Custom Stealth Technology made in Germany

When submarines surface, they find themselves in a particularly dangerous situation. The masts, mast heads and other components on and above the sail are visible above water and can therefore also be detected by radar systems.

To tackle this issue, COMPOSYST designed its own materials more than a decade ago, which – with the appropriate stealth or RAM technology (Radar Absorbing Material) – enable submarines to remain largely invisible, even above the waterline.

For this purpose, COMPOSYST offers two implementation options:
  • Fairings for inner steel mast structures to prevent detection by radar systems
  • Complete development and construction of entire mast systems made of FRP, which, in addition to being invisible for radar systems, also reduce weight and thus lower the center of gravity. This saves material and manufacturing costs while improving the stability of the vessel

Well-known companies already rely on the expertise of the European market leader COMPOSYST and their many years of experience with the concrete and reliable implementation of such technological challenges.
