Title: Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW)

Agency / Branch: DOD / NAVY

Contract: N68335-08-C-0502

Award Amount: $749,973.00

Abstract:
As adversarial submarines become quieter and operate in increasingly adverse acoustic environments, the U.S. needs effective non-acoustic detection capability deployed from maritime patrol aircraft. Air-dropped buoys exploiting submarine ELF emmissions offer unique advantages over MAD and other non-acoustic methods. Teamed with USSI, Arete Associates will design the hardware and detection algorithms, predict performance, and conduct testing in realistic environments to demonstrate the concept's tactical utility.
