Towed Array Handling Systems
RPME’s Towed Array Handling Systems deliver quiet, precise, and mission-critical deployment of sonar and surveillance arrays essential to anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and undersea domain awareness operations.
Engineered for surface combatants, auxiliaries, and unmanned platforms, our systems provide controlled payout, retrieval, and storage of fiber-optic and hybrid array cables while maintaining strict acoustic, tension, and geometry requirements.
Precision Control for Mission Assurance
Modern towed arrays demand exacting control to preserve acoustic performance and prevent damage to sensitive sensor elements. RPME systems are designed to provide:
- Tight control of payout tension and winding geometry
- Enhanced cable life and signal/data fidelity
- Seamless integration with shipboard control systems
- Low acoustic signature operation
- Shock-resistant, marine-hardened construction
Our advanced levelwind and spooling technologies ensure uniform cable layering and controlled fleet angles, minimizing internal stress, preventing cross-wrap, and protecting high-value array assets.
