ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH has an impressive pedigree dating back
100+ years. In this time it has established an extensive,
global customer base in the naval and maritime world. In the
best traditions of German companies, ATLAS has, not surprisingly,
a sound technology base and product range including "sensor-to-shooter"
chains for Submarines, Surface Vessels, Mine Counter Measures
(MCM) as well as non-military products, e. g. Vessel Traffic
Systems and Hydrographic Systems. The company today is very
much part of the German maritime scene but it has also established
itself as one of the leading companies in the world providing
state-of-the-art Underwater Capability.
With 1600 specialists in naval and maritime business incl.
more than 400 experts in design, prototyping and hardware production
and an annual turnover of approx. 300 Mio. Euro, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK
has an excellent reputation world-wide. After the split of its
predecessor STN ATLAS the Naval System Division and the Production
Department of its forerunner formed ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH as
a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAE Systems.
The company is the established leader in the development of
integrated sonar (all types - bow arrays, flank arrays, towed
arrays etc.) and command + control systems for submarines with
its ISUS product; ISUS has been delivered to over a dozen navies
to date. Completing the submarine "sensor-to-shooter" chain
is the company's heavy weight torpedo product range - found
in 150 or so submarines around the world today.
A similar "sensor-to-shooter" capability exists in mine
warfare - a capability in which the German Navy has one of the
largest fleets in NATO and has taken a lead role in during the
Cold War and since. All the mine warfare systems (from sonar
through to mine disposal weapon) and many of the ships in the
German inventory have been supplied by ATLAS and its predecessors
over the years.
