ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH
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.
