GeoSpectrum Technologies has delivered the containerised version of its Towed Reelable Active Passive Sonar (TRAPS) to the Royal Canadian Navy, the company announced 15 March.
TRAPS is a low frequency variable-depth sonar for the detection, tracking and classification of submarines, midget submarines, surface vessels and torpedoes. Its ‘wet-end’ towed arrays' acoustic elements are a vertical projector and a receive array. TRAPS' projector array is reelable and stows on the winch drum with the receive array and tow cable.
Various system variants are available to suit different performance requirements and vessel sizes from destroyers and frigates, through corvettes, OPVs, patrol vessels as well as USVs.
The containeried configuration is implemented in a standard 20ft ISO container, requiring only deck space and electric power from the vessel.
The sonar can be delivered stand-alone or as part an integrated sonar-suite, including hull-mounted sonar and sonobuoy processor, and featuring bi-static and muilti-static operation, all leveraging GeoSpectrum's RECVIEW sonar processing and display system.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
