UKB Electronics manufactures specialized degaussing cables designed for shipboard applications. These cables are used in degaussing systems to counteract a ship’s magnetic signature, helping reduce the risk of triggering magnetic mines and enhancing onboard safety.
Application
Degaussing is a process in which electrical cable systems are installed around the circumference of a ship’s hull, running from bow to stern on both sides. A controlled electrical current is passed through these cables to counteract the ship’s magnetic field.
When properly implemented, degaussing can make a ship less detectable by the magnetic sensors of naval mines. However, the ship remains visible to the human eye and detectable by radar and underwater listening devices.
Specialized cables are used to reduce the ship’s magnetic signature as it moves through the water, thereby minimizing the risk of triggering magnetic mines.
