Brand: Sonab
The Sonab OA5 (type 2) is a sonar system designed for submarine navigation and detection in shallow waters. It is a specialized version of the Sonar OpASScan, which stands for Command, Control, Communication, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) sonar system.The Sonab OA5 (type 2) is specifically designed for use in coastal waters where the depth does not exceed 500 meters. It uses a high-frequency active sonar (HFAS) to generate a strong acoustic pulse that is transmitted into the water. The echoes of this pulse, traveling at different speeds due to variations in the seafloor, are received by multiple hydrophones distributed around the submarine. The OA5's computer processing technology allows it to compress and process these echoes quickly, leading to a high resolution image of the seafloor and any potential targets.This sonar system also features reconfigurable signal processing capabilities that adapt to different environmental conditions, allowing the submarine to operate with improved accuracy and detectability levels. The Sonab OA5 (type 2) is an essential part of the navy's maritime surveillance and defense capabilities, providing real-time information about the ocean floor, potential threats, and other navigational hazards in shallow coastal waters.
