SLTA
Slim Line Towed Array Sonar for Naval Application

Detection of targets by the naval ships and submarines has always been very difficult and challenging due to the peculiar sea and associated environmental conditions. However the radiated noise from own platform makes it difficult or at times even impossible to detect weak signals from silent or remote targets. The successful design and development of the SLTA has significantly enhanced the underwater detection capability of the naval platforms.

Main features

• Equally adaptable for surface ships or submarines
• Enhanced detection and classification due to longer array having wide acoustic aperture, reduced flow noise and efficient processing
• Smaller diameter for easier handling onboard to facilitate its deployment and retrieval during all weather and covert operations

Future applications

• SLTA for Submarines & Ships in passive mode
• Coastal defense system
• SLTA for surface Ship Applications consist of
  • Active Towed Array Sonar
  • Stand Alone Passive Array
• Divers, detection/ Offshore Harbour Defence Systems
• Geophysical Exploration Applications
• Seismic surveys etc
