GeoSpectrum delivers TRAPS to Canadian Navy
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.
