ASW TARGET
Abstract
A new cost effective Advanced Expendable Mobile ASW Training Target (new nomenclature MK1 Mod 0 Parrotfish Expendable Target) is required to acoustically and dynamically emulate threat submarines for fleet qualification and proficiency training on and off undersea ranges. Acoustically a new target is required to stimulate higher fidelity active sonar systems and torpedo sonar systems which have expanded frequency coverage than current systems. These sonar and torpedo systems are being fielded on the P-8, SH-60R, and AN/SQQ-89 capable surface ships and the MK54 Mod 0 and MK48 Mod 7 Torpedoes. Dynamically the target needs to emulate both low and high speed ends of threat submarines performance envelope to provide required training realism.
