SONAR

Our USW solutions are geared to meet the operational requirements of today's Navies with the most compact, cost-effective configuration possible. We place a priority on ease of operation and maintenance. Our goal is to provide not only an attractive acquisition price but to minimize life cycle costs while maximizing performance. Our sonars can operate in a stand-alone mode or integrated with command and control systems. We have extensive experience interfacing to various torpedo fire control systems.

SCS sonars deployed around the globe, both in the littoral environment and in the deep ocean, and have operated in multi-national task forces, standing out in the process.

SCS sonars have Commercial-Off-The-Shelf hardware and open architecture software.

Model 997/993 Hull/Bow Mounted System

Model 997 is a full function, mid-frequency sonar system. Modes include Active Search, Active Classification, Passive Broadband, Performance Prediction, Underwater Tactical Picture, and Obstacle/Mine Avoidance. Capabilities include Torpedo Alertment, Date integration with networked Platforms and Sensors, Built-in-Test, Mission and Data Recorders, and Trainer. The system integrates with torpedo fire control and expendable bathythermograph.

The Model 997 uses air-cooled hardware, providing ease of installation and maintenance. It can be operated from a single console or multiple consoles.

The Model 997 is deployed aboard frigates from Brazil and the United Kingdom.

The Model 993 is a low frequency version of the 997.

Model 980 Active Low Frequency Towed System (ALOFTS)

ALOFTS is more than a sonar system, it’s a robust ASW Combat System. It includes both active and passive sonar with automatic detection algorithms, active and passive classification modes, torpedo detection, performance prediction, Underwater Tactical Picture, target motion analysis, Mission and Data Recorders, and Trainer. The system integrates with torpedo fire control and expendable bathythermograph.

ALOFTS puts the active source and receiver at the depth of the submarine. With its short tow scope, the system places no restrictions on maneuvering and minimizes array stabilization times. Bottom avoidance features provides the operator the confidence to deploy the system in shallow waters.

Model 980 is deployed aboard ships from Singapore and Israel.

Model 950 Passive Towed Array

Multi-Aperture array with excellent passive frequency coverage for narrowband, broadband and torpedo detection. System provides automatic torpedo detection, alertment and ambiguity resolution. Automatic detection and tracking is provided for both broadband and narrowband contacts. Ambiguity is automatically resolved with a minimal ship maneuver. The 950 contains the following features: Target Motion Analysis, Performance Prediction, Built-In-Test, Mission and Data Recorders, and Trainer. The system integrates with torpedo fire control and expendable bathythermograph.
