ASELBUOY is a NATO-A size
passive directional sonobuoy, deployed from patrol aircrafts and surface ships alike. ASELBUOY can operate in two different depths
(30m and 150m), providing directional acoustic information in the 5-2400Hz
frequency band on the horizontal plane. The buoy can send this acoustic
information to aircrafts and surface ships via one of its 96 VHF communication
channels (136MHz-173.5MHz). VHF
communication channel and
operating time (0.5, 1, 2, 4 or 8 hrs) are programmable from the user
interface on the buoy itself before deployment. VHF communication channel and operating time can also be changed after launch by
remote commands. As an expendable system, ASELBUOY
scuttles at the end of its programmed
operating time.
