TRAPS
Towed Reelable Active Passive Sonar
Cost-Effective, Compact ASW Capability

Innovative Multi-Mission Capability


TRAPS is a compact, open, low-cost active passive TRAPS is ideal for littoral operations and very useful
variable depth ASW sonar. Modular, cross deckable in deep water as part of a multistatic system. The
and highly capable this proven containerised modular design of TRAPS provides a variety of
system can be easily hosted on current and future installation options, including containerisation on
combatants; as well as commercial shipping / multi-mission vessels and standard deck-mounting.
ships taken up for trade (STUFT) to detect TRAPS can be used on small combatants such as OPVs,
submarines, torpedoes and other surface ships. corvettes, ships of opportunity, and USVs. Applications
include naval defence surveillance, drug interdiction,
Modular, All-in-One Design homeland security, and other water-borne policing.
TRAPS incorporates a single tow with a Vertical
Projector Array (VPA) and does not require a
handling system to deploy, retrieve, and stow.
This reduces footprint, weight, and price.
