There are many current and future requirements for unmanned systems to tow and dip acoustic sensors such as thin line passive towed arrays, directional sensors and compact sound sources. Some of this technology exists, but significant development work is still required to produce solutions that can be operated from these small platforms. The Firm intends to continue to develop compact passive and active acoustic sensing systems that can be operated from both unmanned and manned platforms., description french : Développement d'une technologie améliorée de détection des sous-marins et des torpilles pour plates-formes avec pilote et sans pilote, expected results english : The purpose of IRAP Contributions to Firms is to support research, development, adoption and/or adaptation of innovative or technology-driven new or improved products, services or processes in Canada up to their commercialization, expected results french : Le PARI, par le biais des Contributions aux entreprises, vise à appuyer la recherche, le développement, l’adaptation et/ou l’adoption au Canada de produits, de services ou de processus novateurs ou axés sur des technologies nouvelles ou améliorées, et ce jusqu’à leur commercialisation, additional information english : nan, additional information french : nan, owner organization : nrc-cnrc, owner organization title : National Research Council Canada | Conseil national de recherches Canada
