Submarine high frequency active sonar for own


ship safety and tactics.
MOAS provides high detection performances and ensures that the submarine is always in a safe environment to
maneuver.
Mine & obstacle detection and localization
Safe shallow waters navigation.
Mine fields avoidance.
Detection of surface obstacles
Highly important for submarine safety when surfacing.
Bottom mapping for 3D Navigation
Real-time visualization of seabed (Nav 3D), localization & tracking of contacts.
Short range submarines detection
Management of short range situation with very quiet submarines.

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

band provide very good performance against
reverberation, especially in shallow water, and provide
high probability of detection against moored mines
Detection and tracking, low absorption losses and
good discretion level
Automatic detection and tracking provides the operator
with the capability to manually send a detected mine
or obstacle location to the tactical system
D isplay in graphical form uses a Man Machine
Interface (MMI) with a high-resolution colour display
Easy to interface MOAS with combat management
system (CMS) and navigation systems (electronic
charts)
