The UYS-504 family of sonobuoy acoustic processors leverages the latest advances in concurrent parallel processing to provide a state-of-theart capability for fi xed wing, rotary wing, naval and ground platforms. It provides the operator with the capability to detect, localise, classify and track surface and sub-surface targets.
Along with building on established passive and active processing capabilities proven operationally over many years it also provides new advanced capabilities to support the detection of quiet targets in challenging conditions.

Conduction-cooled VME Acoustic Processor/Receiver (CVAR)
This revolutionary single-chassis design with embedded sonobuoy receivers provides a powerful acoustic processor suitable for weight-critical applications. It also provides the option to integrate with a dipping sonar system. General Dynamics Canada’s sonobuoy acoustic processors are capable of processing any sonobuoy in fleet use today. Our scalable architecture allows processing for 16 sonobuoys of any mix, whether analogue, digital, passive or active.
Features
- Functional features of MVASP
- Embedded sonobuoy receivers
- Ruggedized, conduction-cooled chassis
- Supports embedded dipping sonar processing
- Suitable for MPA, helicopter and ship use
