Naval sector

Our business sectors

At NEXIO, we combine engineering (design and testing), measurement and simulation to offer tailor-made support to all business sectors.
Whether for components or complete systems, we operate on a global scale, respecting the standards in force (Europe, USA, Asia, etc.) and the specific requirements of each project.

We are committed to :

  • Anticipate and master regulatory constraints right from the start of development.
  • Identify and guarantee the essential functions of electronic devices.
  • Minimize the costs associated with EMC/RADIO/DAS/Lightning development and certification sequences.

With over 20 years’ experience as specialists, we are well positioned to meet the challenges common to all sectors of the economy.

Our Solutions by Sector: Naval

The naval sector is constantly evolving, integrating cutting-edge technologies into its equipment.
With these innovations come new electromagnetic challenges, particularly complex in the maritime environment.

Electromagnetic Challenges in the Naval Sector

Complex maritime environment: Sea and weather conditions (multiple reflections, false echoes, rough seas) can disrupt electromagnetic (EM) systems, affecting their performance.

Integrating diverse systems: The growing number of EM systems on board ships poses challenges in terms of compatibility and interoperability, requiring tailored solutions.

Here are some of the challenges specific to this sector:

  • Optimize antenna radiation: adapt radiation to function and environmental constraints.
  • Precise guidance systems: guaranteeing precise navigation with reliable equipment.
  • Ship stealth: Reduce the radar detectability of ships and equipment.
  • Radar performance: Ensuring optimum target detection in all sea conditions.
  • Inter-system electromagnetic compatibility (CEMIS): Ensure that systems coexist without interference.
  • Protection of people and munitions (DREP and DRAM): Safeguarding against dangerous electromagnetic radiation.

NEXIO Solutions

NEXIO supports players in the naval sector with customized solutions to meet these technological challenges. Our services include :

Studies and simulations

We have developed specialized software to solve complex problems such as stealth (SER), antenna radiation and inter-system compatibility (CEMIS).

Design office

We analyze the impact of the environment on radiocommunications systems, taking into account factors such as the effect of the sea on radar signatures.

Measures

We carry out precise measurements of antenna radiation and radar signature, guaranteeing optimum performance.

Examples of NEXIO projects

Here are some of the projects we have contributed to in the naval sector:

  • Radiation calculation for an armored vehicle: Study of the radiation from an antenna on an armored vehicle for Nexter.
  • Radar signature simulation for a patrol boat: Development of a simulation solution for a French shipbuilder, taking into account the effects of the sea.
  • Improvement of CAPITOLE RCS software: Participation in the SIMPLEXE project to extend the application of this software to non-metallic targets, used by the DGA and international defense manufacturers.
