Quiet Auxiliary Propulsion Unit

Candent Technologies has completed the Phase I concept and preliminary design of a compact, efficient, electric driven, stowable/retractable, Quiet Auxiliary Propulsion System that will meet and likely surpass the system requirements for the SOCR (and 11m RHIB, as well as similar small craft). Candent will proceed with the Phase II system development and final design continuing to apply their advanced technology from the highly successful, low cavitation, high efficiency, extremely low acoustic signature marine propulsor developed under a recent ONR sponsored STTR. In addition, Candent will use a highly innovative approach to provide a high efficiency, very compact, direct drive system with very low acoustic signature to complement the quiet advanced technology propulsor, as well as a state of the art, fully integrated, simple to use, electronic controller and operator boat steering and control interface system, also tuned to mitigate and lower noise.
