SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Towed Acoustic Sensors

Outpost® is a next-generation maritime surveillance system centered around a towed passive sonar array – a highly sensitive acoustic payload engineered to detect and track underwater threats with unmatched precision and persistence. 

 

This sonar array is deployed by a rugged, autonomous, unmanned surface vessel (USV) that enables long-duration missions with low power consumption, edge processing, and secure, real-time communications. The USV is the enabler – designed to carry, power, and position the sonar array for maximum effectiveness.

 

The Outpost Acoustic Intelligence Payload is the differentiator – enabling Maritime Domain Awareness at range and scale.

Outpost is a fleet-ready architecture that is deployed in groups for resilient coverage.

Outpost is designed for low power consumption. It’s able to operate using low SWaP (size, weight, and power) components and energy harvesting.

Outpost can operate continuously for 3-6 months without maintenance.  

Yes. ThayerMahan offers modeling and CONOPS development to optimize deployment for specific geographies and acoustic targets. 

Outpost supports secure data transmission and can be integrated into ATO workflows for classified operations.

Outpost is capable of edge-processing, real-time acoustic signal processing, and automated data selection onboard.
