Key Details
Official Description
The United States Navy has long utilized dipping sonar systems on aircraft for Air ASW. The most recent sonar systems continue to show dominance in the Air ASW role with the ability to cover larger and larger areas of ocean. Simultaneously, various configurations of acoustic, electro-optic and electromagnetic sensor systems have been used in AMCM operations, with the newest remaining fielded systems offering limited mission coverage. As the Navy looks to new maritime strike future vertical lift ...
