APS has conceptualized, designed, and fabricated sensors and subsystems for both airborne and underwater passive acoustic surveillance and scientific measurement. These include vector sensors for deep submergence applications and a vector sensor towed array for torpedo defense applications. APS has a unique and proven capability to fabricate specialized transducers for harsh operating conditions as well as vector sensor towed arrays.
