GLOBAL DEFENSE's video: The US Navy Wants Detect Invisible Submarines From the Sky

The US Navy Wants Detect Invisible Submarines From the Sky The US Navy, in a break with traditional submarine detection, is working to replace sonar and magnetic detection with radar. The AN, APS 154 Advanced Airborne Sensor (A A S) will spot the invisible wakes left by submarines underwater, telltale clues that something large is lurking beneath the waves. The A A S will be carried by the P 8 Poseidon aircraft, which can then engage submarines with air-dropped anti-submarine torpedoes. According to Forbes, the downward-mounted pod features an advanced electronically scanning array (A E S A) radar. Unlike traditional dish radars that use one large, powerful radar module, A E S A radars use many smaller modules. These modules can collectively operate over multiple frequencies, which means they can overcome jamming or broaden or focus their field of detection, especially against small objects and those invisible to the human eye. # P8Poseidon # AESA # P3C # Orion
