Product Name: Surface Electronics Acoustic Link (SEAL)
Product Description
Lightweight and self-contained, DRS's Surface Electronics Acoustic Link (SEAL) buoy transmits various types of acoustic sensor data to shore without the need for large deployment and recovery vessels. It connects to sub-surface sensors and arrays using a fiber optic link to support wide sensor bandwidth and simplifies at-sea interconnectivity. Easily deployed and retrieved by a small boat, the SEAL eliminates expensive cables and significantly reduces overall life-cycle costs.
Networked using TCP/IP for several buoys, the 2.4GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) RF telemetry data-link is virtually interference free. Spar buoy implementation and a durable flotation collar provide the SEAL superior stability and make it highly suitable for harsh mission environments.
A rugged, expandable, low power COTS PC/104 small form factor circuit card stack and easily replaceable 14-day battery pack delivers compact size with enhanced mission life. The standard PC/104 architecture makes critical hardware functions readily available and reduces software "unique application" customization costs.
DRS can add in-buoy DSP using additional PC/104 modules for such functions as beamforming, signal detection, target tracking, signature classification, and active signal processing.
