Naval Certification and Sea Trials

Yes. HBK’s integrated system enables simultaneous measurement of airborne and structure-borne noise using synchronised data acquisition and real-time analysis. This approach reduces test time while maintaining accuracy across all required frequency ranges.

Traceability is ensured through automated test execution, comprehensive metadata capture, and structured reporting. Measurement conditions, calibration data, and execution logs are recorded to support repeatability and audit reviews.

The solution is modular and scalable, supporting everything from component-level qualification to full sea trials. Hardware configurations and software workflows can be adapted to different vessel classes, test scopes, and programme requirements.

The solution is designed to support testing aligned with MIL-STD-740 and MIL-STD-1474E requirements. It provides the measurement capabilities, analysis methods, and documentation needed to assess compliance when applied according to the relevant standards.  Of course, this testing is also a good base even if you don’t need measure to the Mil-STD's.

Re-tests are reduced through automated workflows, consistent execution sequences, and real-time validation. This minimises operator dependency and helps identify issues early, improving confidence in test results during sea trials.

Naval certification and sea trials focus on validating acoustic performance at defined programme milestones. Self-noise monitoring extends this approach by enabling continuous acoustic oversight during operation, usually to support Stealth but can also be used in commercial environments. HBK supports both, allowing programmes to manage acoustic performance across the full vessel lifecycle.
