Given the rise of stealthier and quieter submarines, current detection tools, which primarily focus on acoustic measurements, need an upgrade. Charles River Analytics won a nearly $1 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract from the US Navy to develop an alternative system to detect submarines effectively using their magnetic signals. The Magnetometer-based ASW […]
