  • Military vessel
    Patent number: 10247504
    Abstract: A military vessel may include a directable weapon and an antenna. The antenna can be swiveled from a first position, in which the antenna is disposed essentially vertically, into a second position, in which a height of the antenna above the military vessel is reduced to increase a directing range of the directable weapon compared to the first position. A method for operating a military vessel with a directable weapon and an antenna may involve swiveling the antenna from a first position, in which the antenna is disposed essentially vertically, into a second position, in which the height of the antenna above the vessel is reduced to increase the directing range of the weapon compared to the first position.

  • Device for reducing effective radar cross section
    Patent number: 10173760
    Abstract: A device for reducing the effective radar cross section (RCS) of a naval vessel is proposed, the device comprising a cladding panel, which can be mounted on vessel superstructures or cargo of the naval vessel, the cladding panel being permeable to radar beams, the device also comprising a reflection means, which reflects radar beams, and the reflection means also being embedded in the cladding panel and being aligned at least partially inclined with respect to a main plane of extent of the cladding panel.
