IRSTs search new horizons

Article Abstract:

An infrared search-and-track (IRST) system provides passive panoramic surveillance and threat warning of low-elevation air and surface threats. Even though the operational employment of shipborne IRST systems are limited, its research and development activities are continuing to exploit the potential of both scanning and staring systems for ship self-defense and situational awareness.

Open for business: A new model for submarine sonar

Article Abstract:

Military users move away from military specified systems to exploit the advantages offered by commercial-off-the-shelf information technology hardware and software originally developed for the commercial market. This has resulted in major improvements in sonar processing performance, life-cycle cost and obsolescence management.

Lower frequencies ping the littoral ASW threat

Article Abstract:

The new generation of surface ship low-frequency active sonarEs (LFAS) is ready to transform anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations. The Sonar 2087 LFAS system, Atlas Electronik's ACTAS, ALOFTS and LBVDS are some of the OPVs that are used to investigate the impact of sonar emission on the environment.
