The trials,
facilitated by The Royal Danish Navy (RDN) and The Danish Defense Acquisition
and Logistics Organization (DALO), were performed from the Danish Frigate
HDMS IVER HUITFELDT off the coast of Northern Zealand, Denmark.
According to René d’Ambrières, DCNS Underwater Weapons
Business Unit Director, the trial results came out very successful:
“All expectations set before the trials were fulfilled and DCNS,
Chemring and Terma are all very satisfied to confirm their capacity
to develop cutting-edge anti-torpedo warfare capabilities, including
the design and production of the countermeasure, sea-proven on board
naval platforms, which is a real asset in the naval market worldwide.”
As a result of the successful trial, C-Guard is now the first and currently
the only Decoy Launching System fully integrated with the CANTO®
130 mm anti-torpedo functionality hence fully qualified to deploy CANTO®
130 mm decoys.

As a consequence
of the successful trials Terma Vice President, CCS Sales, Thomas Leistiko
states: “The future perspective for Terma and DCNS is to strengthen
the joint venture of C-Guard and CANTO® 130 mm and promoting a state-of-the-art
torpedo defence solution for the present and emerging requirements for
torpedo self-protection systems for naval units across the world.” |
