Navantia is a reference in surface warships more specifically in frigates, having been able to integrate the AEGIS LM system in a much smaller platform. Navantia has designed and built the F-100 Alvaro de Bazán class (5 units) four already in service at the Spanish Navy and the F-310 Fridtjof Nansen class, (5 units) in service at the Royal Norwegian Navy. The Australian Warfare Destroyer, currently under construction, is another Navantia design also based in Navantia F-100 frigate. At present the challenge is the F-110, the future Spanish Frigate that will have to perform new capacities and missions in a changing and challenging international scenario.

MCT EMC HAWKE FOR NAVY VESSELS.

• As well as acting as a certified fire, water and gas barrier the Hawke EMC Multi Cable Transit System (EMC MCT) eliminates stray air bourn and cable screen signals / noise. These stray signals / noise cannot pass through the conductive EMC MCT and pass to earth.
• Essential to ensure the integrity of computer and military communications.
• Tolerant and filler blocks have a cable range of 3mm to 100mm and are coated with a high conductive material.
• Copper tape provides high conductive path from cable screen to earth.
• Frame zinc plated or stainless steel to allow conductivity from blocks to earth.
• Simple preparation of cable and assembly of system without modification of insert blocks onsite.

EMC PROJECTS:

• AUSTRALIAN NAVY.
• NORWEGIAN NAVY.
• SPANISH NAVY.
• ROYAL NAVY.
• VENEZUELAN NAVY.
