About
Defence Science and Technology Laboratory awarded a contract to Ultra Electronics Limited for de-risking the designs of an Enhanced Passive Sonobuoy (EPS) and a new Multi-Static Active (MSA) Receiver Sonobuoy (MSARS) optimised for use with the G-ALFEA sonobuoy.
The task aimed to produce preliminary designs for the EPS and MSARS that would allow prototypes to be built with minimal technical risk in potential follow-on work.
The EPS enhances the existing HIDAR sonobuoy with an additional wideband transducer, while the MSARS is based on the BARRA sonobuoy but packaged as a G-size sonobuoy (G-BARRA).
The contract value is AUD 1,197,530.77.
