L-3 MariPro has long been involved with the design, manufacture and installation of fixed (cabled) undersea tracking ranges for both the U.S. and foreign Navies. These ranges provide the three dimensional location of multiple underwater targets in real-time. Targets, equipped with acoustic pingers, may include submarines, torpedoes, autonomous vehicles and other exercise participants. These range facilities are used for many purposes including research, test and evaluation (RDT&E), tactics development, ASW training, weapons proofing and scientific operations.

MariPro has also developed a number of noise measurement ranges for both the U.S. and foreign Navies. These ranges typically combine the acoustic tracking and communications capabilities of a tracking range with significant capabilities for the measurement and analysis of radiated noise.

MariPro’s at-sea capabilities include range site survey, cable and node installation and cable repair and maintenance of all associated systems. MariPro maintains a qualified staff for a wide variety of cable designs and mechanical termination assembly designs. Cables and components that have been jointed include SX, SD, SL, armored, fiber and electro-optic cable, including loose tube and K-tube designs. MariPro also specializes in the jointing of cables of different construction types.
