Hull-Mounted Sonar

Hull-mounted sonar solutions provide a versatile, always-on, underwater sensor capability that can be used in a wide range of underwater defence missions.

Our hull-mounted sonar solutions maximise performance in challenging environments,  providing outstanding submarine detection with accurate localisation; mine and underwater obstacle detection; and early torpedo detection and tracking.

Why choose our Hull-Mounted Sonar solutions?

  • They are proven performers. Our hull-mounted sonars leverage our decades of experience; and our software, constantly honed through R&D and the at-sea experience of our customers, consistently outperforms competing systems.
  • They are leading edge. Our solutions feature the most modern electronic and acoustic technology. Our next-generation transducer elements dramatically enhance acoustic performance.
  • They are versatile.  Our solutions offer concurrent active and passive sonar processing tuned for a wide array of threats. Customisable transmission waveforms allow performance to be adapted and optimised for any environment.
  • They are easy to use. Modern displays and tools minimise operator workload and maximise mission effectiveness.

HMS-310 Broadband Hull Mounted Sonar 

Compact, lightweight, omni-directional, and with superior transmit-and-receive capability, our HMS-310 sonar is well suited for installation on smaller ship platforms where mass and dimensions must be constrained.
