Product Name:HMS-X2


HMS-X2 is an advanced and compact sonar system designed for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) ships. It is an integrated active cum passive SONAR system, specifically targeted for installation on small to medium platforms such as ASW corvettes and patrol vessels. It employs advanced adaptive signal and information processing techniques for detection, tracking and classification of targets. The hardware architecture is based on state-of-the-art open-architecture processor technologies that will enable smooth upgrade of the system capabilities. A compact transducer array, modular front-end signal conditioning hardware and high-efficiency switched-mode power amplifiers make up the rest of the system.
