COMPANY  -  Major Prime Contractor                                 INDUSTRY  -  Defense / U.S. Navy

THE CHALLENGE

Advanced sonar buoy technology is vital to the US Navy’s ability to track enemy
submarines. The client needed a custom data recorder for a next generation sonar
buoy, one that would:

• Record data from an advanced sonar array.
• Operate using marine batteries.
• Support long-range wireless control and data retrieval.
• Withstand extended temperatures.
• Store large amounts of sonar data.

THE SOLUTION

Created for the Naval Research Laboratory, the major prime contractor's sonar arrays extend the state-of-the-art for underwater detection. To seamlessly process and record these vital data streams, Teligy created a unique system that:

• Harnessed custom FPGA hardware for data format conversion.
• Optimized system performance by utilizing custom system level software and a real-time recorder application.
• Supported remote control and monitoring, featuring a long range wireless control and data retrieval system.

SUMMARY

• Created a custom data recorder package to operate within a next generation sonar buoy.
• Engineered a solution that combined custom and COTS hardware to meet aggressive development schedules.
• Exceeded customer performance, battery power, and wireless range goals.
