Abstract: Progeny Systems Corporation offers an innovative solution for an acoustic projector array for technology insertion in the AN/WSQ-11 Surface Ship Torpedo Defense System (SSTD). Our design has the unique flexibility to address a broad range of threats by fully leveraging the strengths of single crystal materials in an innovative projector array design. Our High Power Source/Countermeasure (HPS/DM) array provides a high-power steerable acoustic projector and a broad band acoustic countermeasure in one compact, easily handled towed array module for integration with current and future sea frames.
Benefits: Successful development of a compact high power source will enable a number of commercial underwater sonar applications, especially in littoral waters, Potential users include cable/conduit surveyors, underwater salvage experts and fisherman.
