Product Name: ATDS-X


ATDS-X is a complete package involving sensors and decoys for defence against vintage as well as modern torpedoes. It is a fully integrated system having both torpedo detection and countermeasure capabilities. The system can receive inputs from both Hull Mounted Sonar (HMS) and Towed Array Sonar (TAS) for panoramic detection and tracking of torpedoes. There is an intercept sensor to characterize the active homing signature of the torpedo. Acoustic decoying is affected using two types of decoys – Towed Decoy and Expendable Decoys. The complete wet end including the towed array sonar and towed decoy is launched and retrieved using a hydraulically operated winch system. The data from the sonar is processed in the Fire Control System (FCS) to localize the torpedo and obtain critical information on range, speed etc. The FCS also calculates the escape parameters like own ship bearing and speed for evading the torpedo.

Salient Features:

  • Automatic detection and alert of acoustic homing torpedoes (passive and active)
  • Acoustic decoying of the torpedo
  • Classification of torpedo along with localization and target motion parameters
  • Advanced adaptive beam forming techniques for torpedo detection and tracking
  • Intelligent soft kill decoy systems with multi-mode operational capability
  • User-friendly system with excellent built-in Fault Detection & Fault localization
  • Appended with Left-Right ambiguity resolving module in the towed array sonar
  • Real-time data recording & online / offline processing
  • Unique ‘Auto Torpedo Recognition’ algorithms
  • Escape solutions on the most appropriate manoeuvre and countermeasure actions
  • Custom configuration capability for ASW & non-ASW platforms
  • Futuristic Human Machine Interface
