SeaLandAire is providing this Phase II.5 proposal for the SBIR Topic # N101-014 (High Gain Array of Velocity Sensors, also known as Digital DIFAR Vertical Line Array or DDVLA) in response to the request for proposal received from NAVAIR and PMA-264. The DDVLA sonobuoy will provide increased acoustic performance in certain ocean environments taking advantage of ocean phenomena. This proposal has been generated based on both our Phase II effort and key performance specifications provided by the Navy for this effort. The focus of this Phase II.5 effort is to improve acoustics of the DDVLA prototype and further develop critical subassemblies toward a production sonobuoy (e.g. A-size form factor, reduced cost, etc.).
