The Passive and Active Sonobuoys to be manufactured under this contract are used for detection, classification, and localization of adversary submarines during peacetime and combat operations.

ERAPSCO/Sonobuoy TechSystems is the choice of many international customers for assistance in protecting their borders with leading-edge products developed by the joint venture partners. ERAPSCO welcomes opportunities to play a role in the defense activities of foreign allies, and views the expansion of the number of contracts it’s received from foreign nations as demonstration of its progress into markets outside the U.S.
