Defence - AIS

What subsea protection solutions does AIS provide for defence?
- AIS provides engineered subsea protection solutions including Uraduct® impact and abrasion protection and cable crossing solutions for locations where cables intersect with existing seabed infrastructure.
What is Uraduct® used for in defence applications?
- Uraduct® is designed to protect fibre optic cables, power cables and other subsea assets from abrasion and impact. Its applications include subsea cable routes, touchdown locations, dropped-object zones and cable crossings.
Why do defence cables need subsea protection?
- Critical underwater cables can be exposed to seabed abrasion, impact, movement and contact with other infrastructure. Additional protection can help reduce mechanical damage and support cable integrity.
Can Uraduct® protect fibre optic communications cables?
- Yes. Uraduct® is specifically designed to protect fibre optic cables as well as power cables, umbilicals, flowlines, hoses and other subsea assets.
Can AIS provide protection at subsea cable crossings?
- Yes. Cable crossing solutions can provide protection and separation where new cables cross existing cables, pipelines or other subsea infrastructure. Solutions such as Polyspace can provide clearance and crossover protection while being configured for the environmental conditions at the installation location.
Can Uraduct® provide dropped-object protection?
- Yes. Uraduct® can be designed to provide impact resistance and reduce the risk of damage from dropped objects in designated protection zones.
Can Uraduct® be used on existing subsea infrastructure?
- Depending on the application, Uraduct® can be configured for existing infrastructure where additional impact or abrasion protection is required.
Can protection solutions be customised for defence applications?
- Yes. Uraduct® designs and cable crossing systems can be configured around cable dimensions, crossing arrangements, seabed conditions and specific installation requirements.

Protecting critical subsea defence infrastructure

Benefits

Protection across demanding underwater environments

Defence infrastructure increasingly relies on subsea cables and other critical underwater assets operating in demanding subsea environments. Our protection solutions, including Uraduct® and cable crossing systems, help manage abrasion, impact and contact risks across critical subsea routes.

Tailored to your requirements

Solutions can be configured around cable dimensions, seabed conditions, crossing arrangements and installation requirements, providing practical protection for demanding underwater environments.

Robust subsea protection

Uraduct® provides robust protection against abrasion and impact, helping safeguard fibre optic cables, power cables and other subsea infrastructure from external mechanical damage.

Protection at Crossings

Cable crossing solutions help provide separation and protection where subsea cables intersect with existing cables, pipelines or other seabed infrastructure, reducing the risk of contact and abrasion.
