Lightweight Towed Reelable Active Passive Variable Depth Sonar

FY 2020-21 · 2020-11-02

Summary
The objective of this project is to develop a lightweight version of the TRAPS variable depth ASW sonar that can be integrated with unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) including the Elbit Seagull and AAI Textron CUSV. A significant reduction in weight is required; this must be accomplished without compromising USV stability or endurance, or TRAPS performance.
