Description

To address the Navys need for a micro-towed magnetic-anomaly-detection (MAD) system that is compatible with small aircraft platforms such as the MQ-8 and MH-60R/S, Physical Optics Corporation proposes to develop the Compact Aerial Towed Magnetic-Anomaly-Detection System (CATMADS). It consists of a non-magnetic micro-towed body, state-of-the-art compact MAD sensor, and a modular reeling machine. The innovative design results in a rugged and lightweight (
