NATO Supply Class 5845 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.
Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5845 focuses on Underwater Sound Equipment. This class includes a wide range of equipment used for various underwater sound-related applications.
Underwater sound equipment is designed to transmit, receive, and process sound signals in underwater environments. This equipment is crucial for various purposes, including underwater communication, navigation, detection of underwater objects, and scientific research.
Some examples of equipment that fall under NATO Supply Class 5845 include underwater acoustic transducers, sonar systems, hydrophones, underwater communication systems, underwater acoustic recorders, and underwater sound analysis equipment.
These devices are used by military, scientific, and commercial organizations involved in underwater operations. They play a vital role in submarine warfare, underwater surveillance, marine research, offshore exploration, and underwater communication systems.
The classification of NATO Supply Class 5845 helps in standardizing the procurement and identification of underwater sound equipment among NATO member countries. It ensures interoperability and compatibility of equipment used by different nations during joint operations and exercises.
When referring to underwater sound equipment in documents or procurement processes, it is important to use the correct NATO Supply Class 5845 to ensure accurate identification and classification of the equipment being discussed or requested.
Includes Sonar Equipment; Underwater Listening Equipment; Sonobuoys; Sonobuoy Launchers; Fathometers; Sofar Equipment.
Note-Excludes oscillator items which should be classified in FSC 5955 or 5963; fiber optic items which should be classified in Group 60; electronic modules as defined under Class 5963; and electrical cable, cord and wire assemblies, harnesses and sets, related to FSG 58 equipment (see FSC 5995). In Group 58, more than in any other group, it frequently happens that the same name is listed as an index entry in each of several classes. In addition, that name may also appear as an entry in groups other than 58. Each such entry refers to a distinctly different part or assembly, even though the different items have the same name. The listing of the same names in two or more classes indicates that, in one form, the part or assembly covered by the name is applicable to the equipment covered by one class, and in another form is applicable to the equipment covered by another class. For example, the item name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is applicable to two distinctly different assemblies, one of which has an application in cryptologic equipment, covered by Class 5810, and the other in radar equipment covered by Class 5840. Consequently the name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is an entry under each of the two classes. When an item identification bears a name which is indexed under more than one class of Group 58, or in Group 58 and in some other group, the item will be classified in the same class as its next higher assembly in the manner described in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Procedures Manual, DoD 4100.39-M. Also excluded from this group are data transmission and communications equipment such as terminals, sensors and other devices designed for use with a configuration of ADPE.
