The US Navy has signed a contract for the supply of next-generation sonar buoys

The US Navy has awarded a new generation of sonar buoys to the Ultra Group.

According to the American press, the company is the world leader in the supply of sonar buoys. Its services are used by the navies of the United States, Canada, Great Britain and a number of other states. But the main consumer of the company's products, of course, are the US Navy.



Ultra has a well-established history providing best-in-class sonar buoys to the US Navy. One of the main tasks of the company at present is to reduce the cost of supplied equipment. This policy fully fits into the overall strategy of the American fleet to reduce operating costs.

It is worth noting that any actions to strengthen the country's defense potential are considered by the Pentagon as very significant in the context of the general confrontation with China. After all, it is the navy that is called upon to play a key role in the rivalry of powers in the Asia-Pacific region, but its modernization will require appropriate efforts from the United States, including financial ones. If the company manages to reduce the cost of buoys, this will be very positively received in the Pentagon and lead to an increase in purchases.

With the help of new generation sonar buoys, it is planned to monitor the movements of not only submarines, but also unmanned underwater vehicles. At the same time, new buoys can be secretly placed in the area of ​​​​military bases of countries that the United States has identified as its main opponents. In other words, we are talking primarily about Russia and China. The new buoys are capable of not only tracking, but also using secure communication channels to transmit data to the control panel of operators at US Navy bases.

    Buoy it and buoy in America, why did they buy medicines for acute radiation sickness? Does the cat smell whose lard he ate?

      We need to steal them, blow them up, destroy them, capture them and say, it's not us ..

      Most likely, they want to figure out our nuclear submarines "Belgorod" with Poseidons, they will begin to scatter .. It's too late for the Lord!
      The speed of the Poseidon torpedo is about 300 km per hour and the movement is unpredictable .. Try to catch hi
      Well, if it blows..
      By the way, Sakharov developed something similar and actively offered his development to the USSR military-industrial complex .. So one general called him a maniac laughing And then Sakharov's wife appeared, well, then you know

    Everything is beautifully said about the American buoy in the 72-meter film. laughing

      I also immediately remembered a fragment of the film! A good film and Ukraine is shown there in all its glory back then ..
      They saved the Black Sea Fleet all the same then .. And then the Crimea was completely liberated. Now we are fighting further and if the Crimea had not been recaptured ., then Russia would have been a colony of the Anglo-Saxons 100%

    I would like to ask the experts. Here is an early warning system deployed in the Atlantic (I don’t remember what it’s called in abbreviated form), because it consists of separate components (submersible active “buoys”).
    Question: Do we know the coordinates of each of these devices on which this system is built?
    Thank you.

      This is the SOSUS system, it seems. It was deployed in the 60s. In its modern form, it is probably no longer the same, but much more powerful. As for the coordinates - not competent.

      (submersible active "buoys").

      Sosus includes passive buoys. They are not so easy to find

    . Shaw can be said ... serious intelligence equipment.
    Ocean, of course, is big, but there are paths found there that can / will control.

    Zelensky has not begged yet? Throws into the Dnieper, there will be Moskal submarines to track.

    They won't catch "Poseidon" If you sink the cruiser "Belgorod" as before "Moscow" And for this you need the coordinates of the target in time dynamics and the rest is a matter of technology And the farther from your bases the better

    Even
    hydroacoustic buoys do not allow a simple Russian fisherman to fish with capelin.

    The US Navy has awarded a new generation of sonar buoys to the Ultra Group.
    It is quite a normal phenomenon, given the aggravation of relations between the United States and China on the political issues of Taiwan. The use of new generation acoustic buoys, for example, to identify the movement of forces and means of the PLA Navy, is a completely justified measure, especially given the growing technical potential of Chinese submarine forces.

    ......! We waited! What are we talking about? Yes, that twenty years ago he proposed to combine the FOSS project with a navigation system for underwater drones. http://sfts-1500.narod.ru/services.htm Further quote from the section "Management"
    If the beacons are connected to power and information cables, this will expand the possibilities of their use, since in this case they will also be able to perform the functions of bottom stations (a model of an autonomous bottom station should be tested in the summer of 2005 as part of the subprogram "Creation of technologies for the development of resources and Spaces of the World Ocean" of the federal target program "World Ocean"). In addition to the fact that the cable version of such a bottom station-beacon will make it possible to exchange information much more quickly, it can also be additionally used as an element of a future ASW (anti-submarine defense) system, especially taking into account the work on creating autonomous underwater vehicles in the United States.
    Twenty years ago! Today there is no navigation system for underwater drones, because there are no underwater drones either ("Harpsichord" does not count). And there is FOSS, but enemy, and even in our pain points. A lot of sonobuoys are required, and therefore
    One of the main tasks of the company at present is to reduce the cost of supplied equipment.
