Low Cost SQS-53 Improved Sonar Acoustic Window (ISAW) (Navy)
Abstract
Install and test an improved sonar acoustic window (ISAW) for the Army Navy Nomenclature/Sonar-53 (AN/SQS-53). This window will be constructed of a new composite material optimized to meet both structural and acoustic requirements. Benefits to be demonstrated are reduced lifecycle costs, longer service life, simplified maintenance, improved safety for maintenance personnel due to the elimination of the requirement for hyperbaric entry, and reduced environmental impact by introduction of a new marine anti-fouling compound in the design of the window.
