Ancilia Countermeasure System

Delivering an effective, rapid threat response to incoming air, surface or subsurface threats, our naval countermeasure system, Ancilia, offers a highly modular, highly reliable and low through-life cost solution.

Ancilia will contribute to overall fleet protection against countermeasure, including emerging hypersonic missile threats, particularly where the platform no longer has time to manoeuvre itself as part of self-defence doctrine.

With decoy-agnostic tubes and an open architecture, the system will launch any standard 130mm NATO decoy and can be retrofitted onto existing platforms with OEM software.

Ancilia has been developed collaborating with Chess Dynamics Ltd, and through our long history (>40yrs) in providing decoy and torpedo launching systems to the UK Royal Navy and global navies. Based on this proven torpedo launcher technology and Combat System expertise, our countermeasures systems use modern hardware, intelligent integrated software and require minimal deck footprint.

Naval Vessels Ready for Modern Naval Warfare

Naval threats are evolving rapidly - drone swarms, hypersonic missiles, and advanced torpedoes will increasingly dominate naval warfare. Traditional hard-kill defences will have difficulty keeping up with the speed and volume of these attacks.

In this new threat scenario, naval vessels require more than just firepower. They need Ancilia powered by C-Guard MK II, a state-of-the-art naval decoy system from SEA and Terma that redefines naval defence, built on Ancilia’s high-speed, rapid-reaction trainable decoy launcher and C-Guard’s proven capabilities.

At its core, Ancilia powered by C-Guard MK II represents an evolution in naval defence, providing advanced countermeasure deployment capabilities through software-driven precision.

Don’t Leave Your Fleet Exposed

When you send your vessels into harm’s way, you need to know that they are defended by the most advanced systems available. Ancilia powered by C-Guard MK II provides that defence. It protects your ships, conserves your missile supplies by adding an extra layer of defence, and gives your crew the confidence they need to face any threat.

With Ancilia Powered by C-Guard MK II, vessels can maximise their speed of defence and provide precise, responsive protection in dynamic combat situations. This means that vessels remain protected from all angles without having to manoeuvre and reposition the ship.
