PTR

L-3 Nautronix develops sophisticated solutions to measure and communicate data through water. It specialises in applications involving underwater test and evaluation and through-water communications.

The L-3 Nautronix Portable Tracking Range (PTR) has been developed from fixed systems and deep water systems to meet the need for weapon training, testing and evaluation in shallow littoral waters. It can be deployed to facilitate training in areas more representative of the threat environment.

PTR systems have been used by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and the United States Navy (USN). The PTR supports:

• Exercise weapon firings
• Platform certification and verification
• Torpedo Self Defence
• ASW experimentation

The PTR utilises acoustic digital spread spectrum technology to provide efficient through-water communications. This provides a robust sub-sea communications network in demanding shallow water environments, negotiating multi-path and environmental noise effects, while maximising exercise area coverage.

KEY FEATURES
	Each cell can cover an exercise area of up to 6 x 7 nm (11 x 13 km)*
	Operates in depths of 50 to 400 m*
	Tracking maintained using sparse ping detection tracking algorithms
	Simultaneously tracks six items in an acoustic multi-path environment at speeds up to 65 knots
	Provides real-time status of target items (weapons, ships, submarines, etc.) on range
	No range infrastructure on the surface within the training area
	Deployment and recovery in Sea States up to and including Sea State 3
	Operational in Sea States up to and including Sea State 5
	Long life transponders with one million ping relay capability (per Transponder) - Systems include standby and sleep modes to extend life
	Integrated Acoustic Through Water Telemetry for robust long-range communications
