Overall Description: SIELCO operates in the field of on-board electronics for military vessels. It takes care of the design, installation, preventive and corrective maintenance of sonar equipment, missile systems, underwater acoustic sensors, command and control consoles. It owns calibration and test facilities and is also turning its attention to civil applications, especially in the sector for the protection of off-shore oil rigs, coastal structures, yachts, exposed to the risk of terrorist attacks. SECTORS OF ACTIVITY: Design and development of underwater acoustic systems, Design and production of naval command and control systems, Design and construction of handling systems for deployment, towing and recovery of undersea equipments and sensors, Design and realization of harbour and offshore platforms and rigs surveillance and protection systems,Design and realization of instrumented buoys for data collection and transmission, Technical assistance and support on naval missile systems, Basic and advanced training courses on Underwater acoustics and on Underwater acoustic measurements techniques, Preventive and corrective maintenance on Sonar systems, Installation of Sonar systems on board of military ships, Installation of Combat systems equipments on board of military ships, Underwater transducers repair and calibration, Measurements and calibration of underwater transducers and equipment in a test facility equipped with an open air tank and a pressure tank, Software development according to customer specifications. PRODUCTS: Barny sentinel Underwater Platforms Developed by CMRE - Centre for Maritime Research & Experimentation, in the late 90's to be used during the Balkan crisis, in the following years it has been produced independently by SIELCO that has evolved some technical concepts. This system, made to put in a single assembly different configurations of oceanographic instrumentation, is perfect for the detection and recording of environmental parameters when positioned on the sea bottom. Its operating characteristic allow it to adhere to most of common marine surfaces and prevent the dredging by the trawls and or other fishing gear/mooring, giving it a specific reliability when used in portions of sea without traffic vessel’s control. Winches: SIELCO designs, manufactures and installs winches for releasing and recovery of electroacoustic sensors and other underwater devices. Self-mooring buoys Application: SIELCO designs and manufactures buoys able to automatically moor on bottom depths from 5 m to 500 m. Data Transmission Buoy Application: SIELCO designs and manufactures spar buoys to be utilised for transmission of data received, by means of cable or optic fibres, from electroacoustic sensors. (Hydrophones, hydrophone arrays, magnetometers, current-meters).
