Information Systems Laboratories (ISL) has completed the factory acceptance test for a $1 million contract to modify the software and hardware of the sonar Intercept and Analysis (IntAna) systems currently in operation on Royal Swedish Navy submarines.
The work, performed by ISL's Systems Engineering and Integration Division (SEID), was done under subcontract to Saab AB of Sweden, which is installing a new Combat Management System (CMS) on the Royal Swedish Navy (RSN) submarines.
"This project further demonstrates ISL's capabilities in acoustic signal processing research and development," said Richard Miller, President and CEO of ISL. "We are pleased to be working with both Saab and the Swedish government to implement this important step in their navy's combat readiness."
The ISL system upgrade utilizes client/server technologies that allow the IntAna processing, analysis, and display functions to be integrated into modern CMS consoles on the RSN submarines. The upgrade improves system accessibility and the ability to share network resources and information with other ship systems.
The IntAna system, originally developed and produced by ISL in 2000, provides the submarine crew with the capability to detect and classify active sonars, weapons and other potential acoustic threat signals in order to make rapid tactical decisions in a high density acoustic threat/target environment.
The frequency response of the system covers all ASW sonars, ASW weapons, side-scan sonars, underwater communications, diver sonars and fish-finding sonars. The system also supports detailed passive acoustic analysis and recording of signals from the various passive sonar arrays and sensors on the submarine.
ISL is a science and engineering innovator in the fields of advanced sensors, communications, adaptive signal processing, nuclear systems analysis, and space/missile system technology. ISL supplies critical, timely, high quality solutions and products to meet the needs of commercial and government customers.
ISL has cradle-to-grave capability to develop concept innovation, simulation of feasibility, prototype engineering, ISO-certified production and support, ranging from all levels of national security to quality of life in general. The company is based in San Diego and has seven other domestic offices.
