Research abstract

We envision the Mid-Frequency Active Sonobuoy (MFAS) design being an A-size sonobuoy that functions as an off-board mono-static, bi-static and multi-static sensor across multiple ASW platforms. Our design for MFAS will be based on design trades iterated across mission, CONOPS, and the SWAP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost) considerations that drive A-size packaging constraints and recurring costs (production and mission).The MFAS design will be based on SWAP-C enabling technologies for receive arrays, projector arrays, power amps and batteries. The MFAS will be designed to meet performance requirements derived from supporting mission analysis and CONOPS studies. The ultimate purpose is to maintain a high Pd and wide area coverage while maximizing platform interoperability and being cost effective for the MFAS and the total mission. This MFAS functions as an off-board, mono-static, bi-static or multi-static buoy and is used to extend platform ASW capabilities in both search and localization scenarios.
