Reviewed Mission areas and released Defence needs
See how the documented capability connects to reviewed Mission areas and released Defence needs—and why each connection may be worth a conversation.
High-resolution towed synthetic aperture sonar can support undersea survey and seabed characterization where persistent underwater awareness is required.
The capability may contribute to northern maritime awareness when undersea survey and detection gaps are relevant; Arctic operating assumptions still require validation.
KATFISH Towed Synthetic Aperture Sonar may help teams working on Future submarine operational capability by contributing to maritime and undersea operations and detection and situational awareness.
