Lightweight Acoustic Sensor System (LASS)

Product Name: Lightweight Acoustic Sensor System (LASS)

Product Description

The State-of-the-Art Acoustic Phased-Array Surveillance Sensor 

DRS's Lightweight Acoustic Sensor System (LASS) is a state-of-the-art sensor system used by the U.S. Navy's Mobile In-shore Undersea Warfare (MIUW) amphibious operations as the primary sensor for undersea surveillance. The Lightweight Acoustic Sensor System is a bottom-mounted phased array, which detects and provides acoustic threat data to the AN/SQR-17A (V2000) Signal Processor System by monitoring surface ships, small boats, submarines, mini-subs and swimmer delivery vehicles. The LASS demonstrates proven versatility with the ability to transmit data to shore sites using either VHF radio links with a commandable surface buoy or to connect to shore via fiber optic cable. 

Features 

- Rapidly Deployable for Coastal Surveillance and Harbor Protection 
- Low Power and Durable Lightweight Design 
- Uses Either Fiber Optic or RF Link to Shore 
- Integral Phone Location System (PLS) for Optimum Beamforming and Signal Detection 
- Either COTS VME-based or PC-based Signal Processing Architecture for Shore Data Analysis
