Ensure your strike-first capability
Being able to detect, identify and engage the adversary before they detect you is critical in naval combat. To achieve this, you need to know exactly what you are emitting – and how to manage it.
The performance of today’s sensors is very high and will only develop even further in the future. That’s why you need to know your signature shell. At FMV Naval Test Ranges we can perform signature measurement and analysis for a range of surface ships and submarines.

Threats in several dimensions
Measure and analyse your naval platform’s signature
The signature of your naval platform is a critical parameter. Measuring and analysing the signature are crucial for both the verification of a new design or for a mid-life-upgrade program.
With a deep expertise within the area of signature measurement, you can rely on FMV Test and Evaluation (T&E). We’re continually working with a number of different test methodologies to evaluate the signature shell for surface ships and submarines.
