Fairmount Automation controllers have been regulating critical processes aboard U.S. Navy ships since 1997.  More than one in four U.S. Navy surface ships now rely on Fairmount Automation equipment for their most demanding applications.  Our fast-growing installation base encompasses over ten ship classes including AOE-1, AS-39, CG-47, CV-63, CV-67, CVN-68, DD-963, LCC-19, LHA-1, LHD-1, LPD-7, and LSD-36. 

Our products are used in a variety of applications such as propulsion boiler controls (automatic combustion control, main feed pump control, feedwater control), aircraft carrier catapult controls, propulsion steam plant controls (main engine hotwell level control, auxiliary exhaust and DFT steam pressures, DFT levels), diesel and turbo generator controls, waste heat boiler controls, distilling plant controls, and tank level indication (TLI).

Fairmount Automation based systems have replaced existing control systems to improve performance and increase reliability.  Our products have also played a significant role in reducing workload and manning requirements by automating systems that were previously operated manually.  In addition to the direct payoffs mentioned above, these systems have considerably reduced maintenance and training requirements by elimination of the need for routine calibration, adjustment, and specialized training.

The list below contains a sample of photographs from typical shipboard installations -- please click on a ship name to view the picture.  Most of these installations were engineered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Code 925.
