Expendable Mobile ASW Training Target (EMATT), capable of simulating the sounds and movement of a real Submarine

Description

The EMATT should be capable of being deployed from P8l aircraft, MH60R helicopters and ships (doing speed upto 10 kts). No modifications should be undertaken on the platform from which the EMATT is required to be launched. t should be dropped through the sonobuoy launch mechanism of the aircraft. After entry into the water, it should be capable of generating different types of acoustic signals (discrete tones, broadband noise, active emissions, magnetic signature and echo repeats of sonar and torpedo system) including dynamic characteristics of a Submarine. Thus, a single EMATT can simulate different types of target (Submarines and Torpedoes), thereby ensuring maximum training value to the crew without actual employment of various types of Submarines/ Torpedoes.
