The US Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division has awarded a contract to DRS Sonar Systems to provide a towed active subsystem for use on the littoral combat ship (LCS).
The towed active subsystem will be integrated into a variable depth sonar (VDS) anti-submarine warfare (ASW) system for use on the ship.
The LCS VDS is a low-frequency sonar capable of detecting submerged submarines off the coast and in deep waters.
The sonar also provides a high-search-rate tactical anti-submarine warfare capability.
