- Abstract
This paper provides a broad overview of underwater electromagnetic signatures that are produced by naval vessels. There are four components of electromagnetic signatures on vessels, static (SE) and alternating electric (AE), and static (SM) and alternating magnetic (SM), that can be detected by sea mines. Effective measures for electromagnetic signature management are required to protect vessels from being detected by sea mines. Techniques that are normally used in controlling, reducing and eliminating unwanted electromagnetic signature, including degaussing (DG), deperming, shaft grounding, cathodic protection,material choices for vessel construction and positioning of equipment in vessels, are also discussed.
