AN/SSQ-53H

Floating‑point acoustic processing and high dynamic range hold the picture together in high ambient noise and alongside multi‑static active sources. Electronic Function Select configures the buoy before launch, and Command Function Select adjusts RF channel, life, sensor and AGC level once it is in the water.

KEY FEATURES

• 27-305 meters (90 to 1000 ft)
• 97-channel RF Transmitter
• Acoustic Sensors (CSO, CO, XCO, DIFAR)

ENHANCED FEATURES

• Clear Audio (improved acoustic fidelity)
• Improved RF performance with Spur Free High Dynamic Range, Carrier Deviation Fidelity and Spectral Power Control
• CSO (Constant Shallow Omni) with reduced G-sensitivity at a depth of 45 ft (13.7 m)
• Floating-point acoustic processing with improved performance and highly accurate data
• High Dynamic Range creating enhanced performance in high ambient noise environments or for use with multi-static active sources
• GPS capable and upon activation provides location reporting
• Calibrated Omni (CO) co-located with the DIFAR sensor to provide acoustic information at the selected depth at two bandwidths: 20kHz (CO) or 40kHz (XCO)
• LiFeS2 Battery, reliable, safe and fully certified
• Multiple launch options: fixed-wing, rotary-wing aircraft and surface vessels
• Temperature and depth sensing
• EFS (Electronic Function Select), configurable
• CFS (Command Function Select), commandable: RF Channel, Life, Sensor, AGC Level
