SAR
Submarine and Surfaceship Acoustic Range
L-3 Nautronix develops sophisticated solutions to
measure and communicate data through water. The
company specialises in applications involving
underwater test and evaluation and through-water
communications.
The Submarine Acoustic signature measurement
Range (SAR) is based on an application recently
provided to one of our customers.
SAR is an ultra-low noise acoustic measurement range
incorporating co-operative tracking and highly
automated data analysis and management software.
SAR can measure the signatures of submarine and
surface vessels. It is a fixed installation comprising a
submerged hydrophone array and electronics bottle
connected via a fixed underwater cable to a control
centre housed in a shore range centre.
For submarines SAR employs the Submarine Tracking
System (STS) developed for other related L-3
Nautronix signature measurement systems. STS
provides in water range measurement to provide a
highly accurate input to the acoustic sound pressure
level (ASPL) calculation. STS also provides
information on the platform’s current operating state.
