kta naval systems provides the most modern Combat System on the market

Building on the joint expertise and products of our partners, we have created a unique submarine combat system, with unprecedented functionality and performance. Our Combat System enables the submarine crew to fully perceive their surroundings, identify objects and analyze the situation in detail. It consolidates all information to permit a rapid and reliable response. Customers can constantly advance their submarine combat system to adapt to new requirements and challenges, and to ensure that they always have the most recent available technology on board.

Merging the submarine expertise

kta naval systems AS was founded in October 2017 as a joint venture between thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, its Naval Electronic Systems business unit (ATLAS ELEKTRONIK) and Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace. With the support of their partners, kta naval systems now sets a new standard for next generation combat systems in non-nuclear submarines.

Based on the combined expertise of the joint venture partners, kta naval systems develops, produces and maintains as an exclusive supplier all combat systems for submarines from thyssenkrupp marine systems.
