Sparton Corporation will manufacture sonobuoys for the US Navy under a contract awarded to the ERAPSCO joint venture.

Under the $14.5m contract, the company will produce sub-assemblies for the AN/SSQ-101A (Q-101A) sonobuoys to support US naval anti-submarine forces.

The AN/SSQ-101A Air Deployable Active Receiver (ADAR) sonobuoy is an A-size, expendable, acoustic signal receive array.

The ADAR’s digital signal processing and a Sparton Digital Compass for bearing determination enables the navy’s maritime patrol aircraft to achieve target localisation and tracking capabilities.
