SUBMARINE WARFARE
MOAS
Mine & Obstacle Avoidance Sonar
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Essential for the safety of submarines operating TECHNICAL FEATURES
increasingly in littoral waters, the real-time 3D Bandwidth: 36 to 72 KHz
navigation capability also provides potential for better Range coverage: 1Km approx.
own ship geographical localization (based on correlation Range accuracy : better than 0.5 m at 1 km*
with existing charts or sea-marks). Bearing accuracy: 1.5 at 54 KHz ahead of submarine
Bearing coverage: +/-45
The MOAS provides also a good short range detection Elevation coverage: Sector of 24, 12 or 6 Steerable
capability of cooperative or non-cooperative platforms elevation coverage
in the vicinity.
* Ahead of the submarine, static point target, assuming perfectly known
