Medium Frequency HMS
Cylindrical Array Sonar, designed for ASW operation
Asset protection:
¾ Detection and tracking of surface &

sub-surface targets
¾ Detection of small objects (e.g. Midgets)
Naval use:
• Detection of silent submarines

in shallow and deep waters
• ASW active and passive
• To-Warning
• Mine Avoidance
Operation frequency (active): approx. 6...9 kHz

(pasive): ~ 2 to 12 kHz
