AN/SSQ-125A Sonobuoy Prototype

Production Sonobuoys are the principal sensors used by Navy Air Anti-Submarine Warfare forces to carry out their mission. The latest variants of Production Sonobuoys are currently being procured from a joint-venture which will be dissolved at the conclusion of the FY23 ordering period. The purpose of this project is to determine the feasibility of producing sonobuoys with the same form/fit/function as the current design to address the loss of the current manufacturing source.
