Periscope Detection
Abstract
Periscope Detection: The CVN Periscope Detection Radar program, AN/SPS-74(V), develops and delivers the capability which provides automated detection and discrimination of submarine periscopes using advanced algorithms. This enables discrimination of periscopes from surface contacts, buoys, small boats, floating mines, etc. This effort was initially based on an Advanced Development Model (ADM), developed in PE 0603553N, Surface Antisubmarine Warfare. VCNO Memorandum Ser N09/12U100544 dtd 17 Dec, 2012 directs cancellation of the AN/SPS-74 Program. FY12 and FY13 funding developed the Periscope Detection and Discrimination (PDD) interface for the AN/SPQ-9B Radar. FY13 funding also developed a Land Based Test Asset to demonstrate new solid state technology that lowers the required power and removes the highest failing components, improving system reliability and stability while greatly reducing the production life and life costs.
