While conducting its anti-submarine warfare mission, Bayraktar TB3 operated in coordination with the maritime patrol aircraft and deployed two sonobuoys into the sea using the Baykar SAS POD carried under its wing.
During the mission, Bayraktar TB3 processed data collected from the sonobuoys it deployed, as well as data obtained from sonobuoys deployed by the maritime patrol aircraft, using its onboard sonobuoy processing unit.
A sonobuoy is an acoustic sensor system deployed into the sea for the detection, classification and tracking of submarines as part of anti-submarine warfare operations.
It detects acoustic signals emitted by submarines and provides data on the target’s position, movement and other tactical parameters.
Acoustic data collected by sonobuoys is transmitted to airborne platforms and used for submarine detection and tracking operations…
