Description

This project involves the development and demonstration of a sonobuoy prototype with the same form, fit, and function as the current AN/SSQ-101B design. The AN/SSQ Series Production Sonobuoys are critical sensors used by Navy Air Anti-Submarine Warfare forces for detecting, classifying, and localizing adversary submarines. The current manufacturing source is ending, necessitating new qualified designs to ensure continued mission capability. The project was awarded with an estimated value of approximately $9.18 million.
