Great Lakes Sound & Vibration has been awarded a contract to design and manufacture Main Diesel Generator (MDG) and Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) exhaust silencers for the U.S. Navy’s T‑AGOS ocean surveillance ship program.
The T‑AGOS fleet plays a critical role in U.S. Navy undersea surveillance operations, supporting the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS) with advanced acoustic sensing capabilities. These vessels operate in demanding acoustic environments where low‑noise signatures are essential for mission performance.
Building on its proven track record supplying custom‑engineered exhaust silencing systems for multiple Navy ship classes, GLSV will deliver MDG and EDG silencers tailored to the T‑AGOS program’s stringent airflow, durability, and acoustic‑attenuation requirements. GLSV’s silencers are engineered for harsh marine environments and manufactured in accordance with strict naval welding and quality standards.
The T‑AGOS program includes the Navy’s newest TAGOS‑25 Explorer‑class ships, designed to provide stable, low‑noise platforms for towed‑array sonar operations. These vessels are operated by the Military Sealift Command and serve as critical assets in anti‑submarine warfare data collection.
GLSV’s contribution of MDG and EDG silencing systems will support the Navy’s long‑term modernization efforts and ensure that the T‑AGOS fleet continues to meet evolving acoustic performance standards.
