Elbit Systems’ wholly owned subsidiary in Canada, GeoSpectrum Technologies Inc (GTI), has been awarded a contract by STX Engine Co to deliver an undisclosed number of its Underwater Sound Source Systems (USSSs) and related software packages to the Republic of Korea Navy (RoKN).
In a statement on 31 May Elbit Systems said the USSSs, which are based on GTI’s Towed Acoustic Target, will be supplied by the end of 2018.
The system consists of an acoustic projector body, winch, handling package, and power amplifier, and will be used to test sonar systems for the RoKN’s harbour underwater surveillance system, the company said.
