Naval Air Systems Command has awarded Raytheon a $16.5 million contract for the initial low-rate production of four AN/AQS-22 dipping sonars.
The sonars will be used by the new MH-60R helicopter for undersea warfare missions, including submarine detection, tracking, localization, and classification; acoustic interception; underwater communications; and environmental data acquisition.
“This award confirms Raytheon’s technology leadership in antisubmarine warfare. In partnership with our industry and Navy teammates, we are providing the very best airborne antisubmarine warfare system capability for the naval war fighter,” said Dan Smith, Raytheon’s Integrated Defense Systems vice president and deputy.
Raytheon will provide systems integration and the sonar transmitter and receiver. The outboard array and reeling equipment will be provided by Thales Underwater Systems in France.
