Under these contracts, EDO will fabricate sonar arrays consisting of broadband projectors and hydrophones with the associated receive-signal conditioning and digital multiplexing electronics. In addition, EDO will support higher level integration and testing by NUWC. "Our new advancements in sonar technology will improve the Navy's ability to conduct anti-submarine warfare in acoustically challenging littoral environments, and defeat torpedo countermeasures," said James M.
