Mast systems
The development and production of submarine mast system is the core business of GABLER. As opposed to the mast, limited to the lowering and lifting mechanism of a sensor, the mast system comprises the hydraulic control block, the hoistable mast control and the sensor. With us, you get everything from one source. So we optimize your supply chain and help you to save costs.

Hoistable masts
The hoistable mast is the basis for every mast or mast system. Hoistable masts mainly comprise the 4 main modules: guide shaft, guide piece, drive and profiled mast. Due to the specific requirements of the navies worldwide, GABLER does not only offer a standardized and modular device platform but also tailor-made solutions for every submarine platform. Depending on the requirements, we create individual hoistable mast solutions.
The GABLER hoistable masts are platforms for optronic, radar, ESM, communication and SATCOM masts as well as for periscopes. The sensors, antennas and effectors can be combined on combination masts as desired, as required by the mission profiles.
Standard/Modular
Rectangular shaft
Non-hull-penetrating
Electric or hydraulic drive
Tailor-Made
Rectangular or round shaft or column
Hull-penetrating or non-hull-penetrating
Electric or hydraulic drive
HF Stage
Low weight and small footprint
Electro-hydraulic with low oil consumption
Durable and low maintenance
Hydraulic Control Block
The hydraulic control block controls the oil flow by means of electric valves. The hydraulic drive thus enables the hoistable mast to be moved not only quickly but also quietly.

Mast options
Depending on your requirements, GABLER offer configurable options for the mast system, mast or hoistable mast. Of course, all mast options comply with all military standards in regard to strength against shock and sea wash so that their proper functioning is always ensured, even in extreme situations.
Predictive Maintenance Sensors
Early identification of abnormalities
Drives for radar rotation
Pressure-proof, environment-resistant and signature-optimized drive for radar rotation
Hoisting Height
display
Identification of the mast position
RAM / ROP
Cladding of the hoistable masts by RoA shells to reduce the radar signature.
Leakage sensors
Sensors to identify leaks in the hydraulic system of the mast
Antennas
VLF, VHF, MF/HF, Multiband-Antenna-Systems for all desired frequency ranges
