SwordFish™

Active & Passive Towed Array Sonar System

SwordFish™ is a cutting-edge, compact and lightweight Towed Array Sonar (TAS) system that detects, tracks and classifies submarines at variable sea depths and bathymetry layers in both littoral and deep waters.

Implementing today’s most advanced electronics and acoustic technologies, the low-frequency SwordFish TAS system utilizes state-of-the-art machine learning, automation algorithms and signal processing to deliver ultra-long-range, high-resolution underwater target search, detection, tracking, and classification of submarines, torpedoes, UUVs, and anchored mines at variable depths and in difficult environmental conditions.

Operating simultaneously in passive, active and parallel modes in both littoral and deep waters, the versatile SwordFish suits a wide range of ASW missions and tactical scenarios, and can be run from an onshore or onboard mission control station.

SwordFish™ A Towed Array Sonar

Meeting Navy requirements for installation flexibility, the lightweight, small-footprint system is suitable for frigates, corvettes, and OPVs as well as smaller vessels such as Fast Patrol Craft (FPCs). The unique configuration in a single 20-ft ISO container enables the modular system to be easily installed, dismantled and transferred between vessels. Due to its high level of automation and user-friendly HMI, SwordFish can be run by a single operator, significantly reducing workload as well as training requirements.
