Title:

Development of Enhanced Submarine and Torpedo Detection Technology for Manned and Unmanned Platforms

Agreement Number:

913431

Agreement Value:

$314,072.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 24, 2018 - May 29, 2020

Description:

There is a rapidly growing demand for anti-submarine warfare/ASW and ship surveillance systems, especially in regions concerned about China, North Korea, and Russia. There are many current and future requirements for unmanned systems to tow and dip acoustic sensors such as thin line passive towed arrays, directional sensors and compact sound sources. Some of this technology exists, but significant development work is still required to produce solutions that can be operated from these small platforms. The Firm intends to continue to develop compact passive and active acoustic sensing systems that can be operated from both unmanned and manned platforms.
