Customer - Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems

Description of Work - Contracted under Raytheon Integrated Defense System, working for the U.S. Navy, Teledyne Brown produced several sections of the Sonar System. The AN/AQS-20 Mine-Hunting Sonar System uses five separate sonars in a compact lightweight and hydrodynamic towed body. The AN/AQS-20 is used to provide real time, computer-aided detection and classification against the full spectrum of mine threats. When the AN/AQS-20S algorithms locate a mine it automatically provides the operator with a visual image and contact data list.

Customer - United States Army

Description of Work - Contracted under the U.S. Army, Teledyne Brown Engineering developed the Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) as a mine counter measure system that provides rapid neutralization of mines at sea. This system is currently deployed from helicopter and is being modified to deploy from a remotely operated surface boat or other unmanned vessels. The AMNS is used as a mine countermeasure for aircraft carries, large amphibious ships, and the Littoral Combat Ship. Not only is it used to identify moored sea mines, it also has the capability to move and neutralize mines to support naval operations.
