Between the Lines of AIP Submarine Defense and Video
2 February 2008 - Strategy Page - The U.S. has been scrambling to develop the ability to detect the new generation of quiet diesel-electric subs. ... New pattern analysis software was developed, and quiet diesel-electric subs from allies were used to test and refine the system. ... The most effective way of hunting down subs is via helicopters or maritime patrol aircraft equipped with homing torpedoes and sonobuoys. The latter are three feet long, 120mm in diameter and weigh about 40 pounds. They are used once, by dropping them into the water. The U.S. has two basic types of air dropped sonobuoys. The AN/SSQ-101 floats upright, sending sonar signals into the water, and transmitting any data bouncing back, to the aircraft overhead.
