FEATURES |
• Each
cell can cover an exercise
area of up to 6 x 7 nm (11 x 13 km).
• Operates in depths of 50 to 400 m.
• Tracking maintained
using sparse
ping detection tracking algorithms.
• Simultaneously
tracks six items in
an acoustic multi-path environment
at speeds up to 65 knots.
• Provides real-time status of target
items (weapons, ships,
submarines, etc.) on range.
• No range infrastructure
on the
surface within the training area.
• Deployment and
recovery in Sea
States up to and including Sea
State 3.
• Operational in
Sea States up to
and including Sea State 5.
• Long life transponders
with one
million ping relay capability (per
Transponder). Systems include
stand-by and sleep modes to
extend life.
• Integrated Acoustic Through Water
Telemetry for robust long-range
communications. |

PTR
Portable Tracking Range
L-3 Nautronix develops sophisticated solutions to
measure and communicate data through water.
It specialises in applications involving underwater test
and evaluation and through water communications.
This Capability Statement describes the L-3
Nautronix
Portable Tracking Range (PTR). This brief description
is derived from a similar underwater range recently
provided to one of our customers.
The PTR has been developed to meet the need
for
weapon training, test and evaluation in shallow water.
It can be deployed to facilitate training in areas more
representative of the threat environment.
The PTR supports:
• Exercise weapon firings
• Platform certification & verification
• Torpedo Self Defence
• ASW experimentation
• Tactic development & verification.
The PTR utilises acoustic digital spread spectrum
technology to provide efficient through-water
communications. This provides a robust sub-sea
communications network in the demanding shallow
water multi-path and environmental noise effects,
while maximizing exercise area coverage.
