The system provides leading edge sonar performance that rivals the best helicopter dipping sonars on the market, fully integrated unmanned operation capability, and rugged construction for reliable operation and simple maintenance in the marine environment.

Advantages over Adapted helicopter dipping sonars due to USV-dedicated design:

  • Capable of sustained acoustic transmissions at both high power and high duty cycle (no need to wait and re-charge a power bank in the SU).
  • System is designed specifically for an extended lifetime operating in the harsh marine environment:
    • Equipment is designed for naval shipboard shock and vibration.
    • On-deck components and materials are selected to withstand the elements, water loading, and corrosion of a small vessel’s open deck environment at sea.
  • Simplified interfaces instead of specialized, aircraft-specific interfaces, simplifying system components and maintenance.

Features
  • Cylindrical body housing transmit and receive acoustic arrays, as well as telemetry, non acoustic sensors, and associated components
  • Collapsing design provides a low-drag compact form factor for deployment and recovery, but expands for operation to provide large, high-performance acoustic arrays
    • Transmit array deploys vertically below body
    • Receive array staves deploys radially out from body
  • Simplified SU requirements enable a reliable design:
    • SU contains no power storage or amplifier components (replaced with dry end amplifier)
    • Simplified, rugged actuation mechanisms

GeoSpectrum produces a wide variety of hydrophones that can be used for a number of applications including marine mammal detection, monitoring blow-out preventers, and subsea construction.

The M509 Hydrus Towed Array is a thin line digital array. The array streams digitized acoustic and non-acoustic sensor data. Hydrus is a low noise, low drag, low power and lightweight array making it ideal for towing from an unmanned vehicle. The Hydrus array can also be customized with greater than 64 channels. The array and tow cable are neutrally buoyant to support low speed tow. Hydrus includes acceleration cancelling hydrophones to minimize mechanical noise. The array is user configurable to less than 2.5 kHz sampling rate, and high/low acoustic channel gain to tailor performance to various applications. Non-acoustic sensors include depth, temperature, roll, pitch, and yaw.

Applications vary from marine surveillance, marine monitoring, anthropogenic noise monitoring, and detection applications.

TRAPS (Towed Reelable Active Passive Sonar) is a family of variable depth, active passive sonars. With its robust and modular design and advanced, flexible sonar processing, TRAPS is an ideal choice for navies seeking high-performance anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities while increasing fleet flexibility. TRAPS is available in containerized, organic, and USV variations.

TRAPS-USV is the ultra-compact variant of the TRAPS system suitable for deployment from smaller platforms and Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) as small as 12 m long. TRAPS-USV provides a unique combination of high performance, small dimensions and low weight due to the patented TRAPS family feature allowing the active source to be reeled on the winch and eliminating the need for a dedicated bulky over-boarding system. Like its’ larger variant TRAPS, TRAPS-USV incorporates advanced sonar control and processing designed to support distributed and remote processing.

In conjunction with GeoSpectrum’s software processing, TRAPS provides surface ships such as OPVs, corvettes, ships of opportunity, and USVs with high-performance active and passive sonar capability for detection, classification, tracking, and localization of underwater targets. TRAPS can be part of an integrated ASW suite including multiple sonars, torpedo defense systems, underwater communication, and bathythermograph systems.

TRAPS easily adapts to different mission requirements through its revolutionary frequency customization; the active source has interchangeable LF, MF and HF blades which can be swapped on board in less than 30 minutes.
