Long Range Communication Technology for locating torpedoes

Description

Tracker that can be fitted in practice torpedo which can provide location of the torpedo to recovery ship at the end of run. Presently heavy weight practice torpedoes having horizontal surfacing, are using SBRT (Satellite Based Reporting Terminal) system which transmits location of torpedo at the end of the run. SBRT transmits the location of the torpedo to satellite which in turn transmits the location to the receiving station. The location is then, through respective MOC, is passed to the ships for recovery of the torpedo. However, SBRT cannot be used for heavy weight and light weight torpedoes attaining vertical position post completion of vertical position at the end of the run. Thus, a transmitter is required to be fitted in the nose section which is exposed out of water post end of torpedo run. This transmitter should be able to directly communicate to the ship the location of the torpedo.
