General Dynamics Canada has been awarded a multi-year contract to provide next-generation acoustic processing systems as part of the South Korean Navy (RoKN) P-3C Orion Maritime Patrol Aircraft upgrade program.
Under the contract, prime contractor Korean Air Lines Co. Ltd. will acquire 10 Vpx ENhanced Open architecture Multi-static (VENOM) sonobuoy processors to replace the existing acoustic systems under the “Lot I” P-3C aircraft upgrade program. In 2010, General Dynamics Canada completed delivery of acoustic processors for the Republic of Korea Navy’s “Lot II” P-3 upgrade program.
The VENOM system is an advanced acoustic processor designed to provide underwater acoustic signal acquisition and processing capabilities, automation and sophisticated tools that help acoustic operators to quickly and accurately detect, classify and track submarines in complex undersea environments.
The compact size and modularity of VENOM’s3U VPX form factor makes it ideal for new or retrofit airborne applications.
General Dynamics Canada has been providing acoustic processing systems to the Canadian government and international customers for more than 40 years.
