Research abstract
A low cost, broad bandwidth, acoustic homing array is needed for the Mk 54 torpedo to replace the lagacy Mk 50 array that was designed for blue water operation and is no longer in production. Under this Phase II SBIR program, MSI proposes to design and develop an upgraded array capable of improved performance in littoral undersea warfare using its proven low cost injection molded 1-3 piezocomposite technology. In Phase III, MSI will transition the piezocomposite array to production in collaboration with the Mk 54 torpedo systems prime contractor and Navsea NUWC.
