Description
TRAPS-USV provides game changing capability to deploy LF active VDS from small and unmanned vessels. As unmanned systems play a growing role in modern ASW operations, a high performance ASW sonar for unmanned systems is a force multiplying asset. TRAPS-USV is yet another step in the TRAPS innovation to provide high performance ASW capabilities in compact form and affordable costs.
