Ground Replay Acoustic Processing Equipment(GRAPE)

Actionable Intelligence

Building on the success of the Fast-Time Analysis System (FTAS) delivered to customers worldwide, including; Canada, U.K., Norway and Australia, General Dynamics Canada offers the next generation of post-mission replay and analysis.

General Dynamics Canada’s GRAPE allows for fast-time post-mission analysis of recorded sensor data from ASW platforms. GRAPE is capable of performing spectral analysis of acoustic data for the purposes of target identification, classification and characterization, mission reconstruction, mission debriefing, crew training and maintenance of intelligence databases.

Second line analysis is a time-critical function that directly supports acoustic operations through the collection of tactical acoustic intelligence (ACINT) and the rapid turnaround of that information to ASW platforms engaged in current operations. Through the ability to manage Contact Feature Definition files for a library of targets, GRAPE can prepare mission system configuration files in order to optimize settings for the target of interest.

Packaged in standard commercial hardware, GRAPE provides superior analysis capability that is both cost effective and deployable.
