SAR
Submarine Acoustic 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 a submarine
acoustic signature measurement range (SAR). It is
based on an application recently provided to one of
our customers.
SAR is an ultra-low noise acoustic measurement
range incorporating co-operative tracking and highly
automated data analysis and management
software. It is a fixed installation comprising:
• a submerged hydrophone array and
electronics bottle
• connected via a fixed underwater cable to
• a control centre housed in the range hut on
shore.
SAR employs the Submarine Tacking System (STS)
developed for other related L-3 Nautronix signature
measurement systems. STS provides in water
range measurement to provide a highly accurate
input to the acoustic sound pressure level (ASPL)
calculation. STS also provides information on the
platform’s current operating state.
