Weapons Handling and Discharge Systems
Oilgear have designed, developed and manufactured Weapons Handling & Discharge System control manifolds and valves over several different platforms. Oilgear equipment can be found on UK, Canadian, Australian, Spanish and South Korean submarines, with current projects running on the UK Dreadnought Class Boat.
Oilgear work closely with the design authority for these hydraulic control systems on all classes of submarines, designing new concepts for the control manifolds and valves, considering all aspects of the requirements including the calculations required for shock load analysis.
