Sonobuoys
A tactical sonar system for transmitting submarine activity, the sonobuoy is a core technology for anti-submarine warfare. Sparton manufactures both active (emitting sound energy into the water and waiting for a return transmission) and passive (purely listening for sound wave transmissions) sonobuoys.
With over 6 million sonobuoys deployed to the United States and foreign* customers over the past 60 years, Sparton continues to serve as a vital supplier to these militaries with the most effective anti-submarine warfare sensor capability.
U.S. Specification Sonobuoys are sold through ERAPSCO, a joint venture between Sparton Corporation and Ultra Electronics – USSI.
Sonobuoy TechSystems operates under ERAPSCO for all ITAR-approved international sales and technical support.
