Description
This project involves the development and demonstration of a prototype for the AN/SSQ-53G Sonobuoy, which are principal sensors used by Navy Air Anti-Submarine Warfare forces for detecting, classifying, and localizing adversary submarines. The current manufacturing source for the latest variants is ending, so this project aims to produce sonobuoys with the same form, fit, and function as the existing design. The award amount for this project is $1,606,297, and it has been awarded to Sparton DeLeon Springs LLC. Key milestones included requests for white papers and proposals, with the award made in September 2021.
