AI Overview
The Navy seeks a small, high-frequency omnidirectional acoustic sensor compatible with open architecture telemetry for towed arrays. This sensor would improve undersea detection and localization capabilities while reducing the time needed for bearing determination without complex maneuvers.
This summary is AI-generated from the official solicitation.
Key Details
Official Description
Towed acoustic receive arrays provide powerful insight into the undersea environment and the natural and man-made entities that exist under the surface of the ocean, including adversaries. Towed arrays are populated with hydrophones. Accurate bearing determination is crucial for effective evasion or attack. To determine bearing using existing sensors, either maneuvers or arrays of omni-directional sensors must be used. These maneuvers and arrays introduce delay and complexity to acting. Providin...
