Because of the development of the modern high speed submarine, capable of high submerged speeds and prolonged submergence, along with the great vulnerability of surface ASW vessels to submarine attack, it became desirable to develop an antisubmarine attack system suitable for a vehicle which possesses a high mobility and comparative invulnerability to submarine attack. To meet this need the Naval Research Laboratory has developed and field-tested the NRL Two- Helicopter Attack Sonar System. Continued field research and development has been conducted for the past two years, in which new techniques were evolved and exploited. Results of these field tests have shown that this system is capable of: Excellent short range classification, presenting precise sonar information for fire control equipment, accurate vectoring of a transponder carrier to a target, a probable increase in hit percentages with both active and passive ASW weapons, and it requires a minimum amount of sonar operator training because of the pictorial presentation.
