Description

This project involves the development and demonstration of a prototype for the AN/SSQ-62F Sonobuoy, which is a principal sensor used by Navy Air Anti-Submarine Warfare forces for detecting, classifying, and localizing adversary submarines. The current manufacturing source for the AN/SSQ Series Sonobuoys is dissolving, so this effort aims to produce sonobuoys with the same form, fit, and function as the existing design to ensure continuity of supply. The project was awarded to Undersea Sensor Systems, Inc. with an award amount of $1,813,881. Key milestones include requests for white papers, proposal submissions, and the final award date in early 2022.
