Conformal Acoustic Velocity Sonar Large Vertical Array
Item Name Code (INC) 68924
![]() |
This item is a passive detection, ranging and localization array that is mounted external to the submarine hull. The array has a larger vertical aperture than any other hull array currently in the fleet, which allows for exploiting environments of interest for the nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine platform. The inboard system includes an advanced processing capability required for adaptive beam forming of an array this size.
Additional Information for Conformal Acoustic Velocity Sonar Large Vertical Array
The Conformal Acoustic Velocity Sonar Large Vertical Array is a type of underwater sound equipment that falls under the supply class of Underwater Sound Equipment. It is specifically categorized in the supply group of Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.
This sonar array is designed to provide accurate and detailed information about the underwater environment. It uses acoustic waves to detect and measure the velocity of water particles, allowing for the mapping of underwater currents and the identification of potential obstacles or targets.
The "conformal" aspect of this sonar array refers to its ability to be shaped or molded to fit the contours of the surface it is mounted on, such as the hull of a submarine or the body of an underwater vehicle. This design feature helps to minimize drag and maintain the hydrodynamic efficiency of the platform.
The large vertical array configuration of this sonar system means that it consists of multiple hydrophones or transducers arranged in a vertical column. This arrangement allows for the detection and localization of underwater objects or signals in the vertical dimension, providing valuable information about the depth and altitude of targets.
Overall, the Conformal Acoustic Velocity Sonar Large Vertical Array is a specialized piece of equipment used for underwater communication, detection, and coherent radiation purposes. Its unique design and capabilities make it a valuable tool for various applications, including military operations, scientific research, and underwater exploration.
