Key Points: 
  • The LPD-32 contract marks AMSC’s fifth ship protection system for the San Antonio Class Amphibious ship platform.
  • Other AMSC awarded contracts for the San Antonio Class include the USS Fort Lauderdale, USS Richard McCool, USS Harrisburg, and USS Pittsburgh.
  • AMSC’s innovative degaussing system consists of smaller, lighter, and higher performing high-temperature superconductor (HTS) cable, eliminating 50% to 80% of the system weight with significant power savings.
  • The system is designed to reduce the magnetic signature of a ship, which can interfere with undersea mines’ ability to detect and damage the ship.
