Subsea Cable Design: The importance of a clear Design Process and timely freezing your design

Jun 21, 2022 1:40:57 PM / by Sander van Leeuwen posted in Naval Defense, Naval cables

In creating a Subsea Cable Design, there are a lot of aspects to consider. It is important that the final design properly fits into your sonar system (or the subsea system you’re creating). As an engineer, you want to have a firm grip on the project. The decisive ingredient in doing that is a clear design process.

In this blog, we discuss the advantages of having such a design process in place, the design process of our cable experts and how this subsea cable design process will eventually help you in properly validating your specifications.

Five types of Sonar System Requirements

The design of a sonar cable is always unique. After all, each sonar system benefits from a fit-for-purpose sonar cable, of which the most crucial requirements differ. That’s why it is important to know early on what the main requirements are for your subsea project. They form the basis of every sonar cable design.

Survival Load for Naval Defense Systems

In one of our previous blogs, we mentioned that Survival Load is an important Operational Requirement for naval defense systems. Now it’s time to dive deeper into these requirements. What is Survival Load, why is it so important for naval defense systems and how are elongation and stretching connected to it?

By understanding more about these concepts, you’ll have more grip on your sonar cable design as an engineer. An important asset if you have to validate your naval defense system to the customer.

One of the components that always recurs in the design of a naval sonar cable is the strength member. There are several options in the design, depending on what the application of the cable is.

In this blog, we will discuss how the strength member is determined. First, the important functions of the strength member are listed, after which we will explain what types there are and how our experts determine which strength member is used.

Types of Naval Sonar Systems: variable depth sonar vs towed array sonar

In producing underwater defense cables, naval sonar systems are the most common systems using such cables. In fact, the success of naval sonar projects largely depends on the performance of these cables.

Naval sonar systems that require a cable can be divided into two categories. Both types of systems have very different requirements when it comes to which cable is necessary. In this blog, we compare both systems: variable depth sonar vs towed array sonar.
