Anti sonar coating for submarines that will allow them to become virtually invisible during combat service is being developed in St. Petersburg. In fact, we are talking about application of stealth technology in the submarine fleet. While the development of Russian scientists is unique, in fairness it should be noted that this was conceived by the Third Reich designers.
According to media reports, as a result of the development by specialists of St. Petersburg Shipbuilding Research Institute named after Krylov, the Russian Navy will receive a tool that would allow it to make its submarines stealth. The new material will feature embedded active sensors neutralizing sonar search signals of the likely opponent, like they used to say back in the day.
While maintaining the noise indicators of the fourth generation nuclear strategic submarines and multipurpose projects "Yasen" and "Borei" being built at Europe's largest military shipyard "Sevmash" in Severodvinsk, the new construction will allow to reduce their so-called sonar visibility by at least three times. This know-how is truly world class....
