KraitArray lowers cost
Alex Key, KraitArray product
manager, told the media
that conventional
towed arrays are large, heavy,
complex and costly, requiring
specialist handling procedures
and producing more drag, while
consuming more power.
To this end, SEA developed
the KraitArray system, which
counters many of the problems
found in legacy towed sonars,
from which the 150m example
is derived. The new sonar will
cost in the region of a tenth of
the price of a legacy system,
