Active and Passive analysis of SONAR contacts can not be performed by a computer. But they are, all information from sensor units are gather, select and process to sound and picture for crew. Computer do 99% work now and if you use all top grade techs you can eliminate about 80% of crew stations. I...
I think the street fighter concept called for 12 man crews and ships that were about 500 tons. I think that would be a good size for a series of primarily autonomous ships. The thing about a "robot" ship is, you would still require a crew on shore somewhere. Active and Passive analysis of SONAR cont...
On page 6 of that paper in the last paragraph it says to use the LWNP it replaces four 25000 hp gas turbines and their associated equiptment and 800 tons of fuel. It breaks it down in table 3. The LM 2500s work in comjunction because the spin at the same rates because they are the same. Youd have to...
The navy is working on firefighting robots. I.would look into the comcept that gave birth to LCS called streetfighter. Smaller more agile and most importantly didposbale ships that could wage war in the littorals.
This design seems extremely bad if you are using the numbers from that paper. For these reasons: 1. The weight for the reactor assembly is supposed to replace 4 LM-2500s and their related equiptment. OHP only has 2. 2. You trade 2 LM-2500s @ 41000 SHP for 1 reactor at 25000 SHP with some hybrid tie ...
You would need a UYQ-100 type DSS and a ton of comm antenas for a buttload of bandwidth pipes. You need a super computer like a blue gene/L or something which would require a ton of power and cooling which could probably be accomplished by 2 additional SPY type cooling skids.
Yeah you're right. I looked it up in the tech pub, its 36 staves and 8 elemets, so basically half the size of 26CX and 53X flavor transducer arrays (interms of number of elements). The sonar dome is dome shaped and I remember seeing on an Australian frigate a spherical array, I thinks thats why i go...
It can be a OHP sonar but in a Different casing. It is like choosing to use MK-29 or MK-41 VLS for lunching Sea sparrow. Its actually very diffrent because of the shape of the transmitter. 56 is spherical. 53 is cylindrical. If you put a ball in a box designed for a can you create degraded areas ca...
What kind of sonar is on tge front of that thing? Is it AN/SQQ-89v4/6 or some variant? If the suite is on par with O. H. Perry, and this is what it looks like to me. It is a SQS-56 series sonar. It is a sonar that is very complex technology, but it has a modest range compared to the SQS-53 that you...
