Integrated Combat System ISUS90


Sensors, command and control, and weapon control, as well as various support functions are integrated by modular standardised hardware and software elements. The configuration depends on the size and mission of the submarine and on the number of weapons on board.

ISUS90 is equipped with sonar facilities for panoramic detection, analysis, and classification of surface vessels, submarines and torpedoes. It integrates these acoustical sensors with optical and electronic sensors to allow for a comprehensive command and control in the submarine system, as well as control of long range, wire guided torpedoes and missiles.
ISUS90 offers the following main features:

Sonar Sensors and Functions
• Automatic detection of acoustic signals using digital array technology
• Automatic tracking of sonar contacts
• Interactive classification for noise and pulse data
• Own Noise Analysis (ONA) for continuous monitoring of the self noise behaviour

Command and Control
• System Track/Target Management
• Target Motion Analysis (TMA) based on multi-sensor data processing
• Display of tactical situation
• Automatic threat and combatability analysis
• Integrated navigation, including Electronic Sea Chart integration into tactical displays
• Integrated non-acoustic sensors allowing control and operation of:
- Attack Periscope / Optronic Mast
- Radar
- Electronic Support Measures (ESM)
• Data Link for simultaneous reception, filtering, reformatting and transmission on multiple data link nets
• Integrated interfaces to internal and external communication systems supporting net centric operations

Weapon Control
• Monitoring of system and weapon status
• Individual attack planning solutions simultaneously at each console
• Pre-setting and launching of weapons
• Simultaneous wire guidance of torpedoes
• Missile firing
• Mine laying support
• Release of torpedo alarm and control of Torpedo Counter Measures (TCM)

Support Functions
• Data Recording System using a object oriented data base management system
• Printing of sonar sensor data on a Graphic Recorder
• Digital multi-channel sonar raw data recording
• On-board simulation and training with the integrated board simulation
• Built-in test and fault diagnostics for both hard- and software failures
• Sonar performance information range and integration tool (SPIRIT)

Open and Modular System Architecture
• Common infrastructure and software throughout the whole system
• Redundant design of all mission-critical functions
• True Multifunction Common Consoles (MFCC) with two high resolution flat screen displays
• Open System allowing easy integration of 3rd party applications
• Use of COTS components wherever possible
