Abstract:
To fill the apparent need for supplemental navigation aids for submarines transiting the Arctic region, a long-lived acoustic transponder is being developed by NEL. This transponder is compatible with equipments on the nuclear-powered under-ice submarines ANSQS-4, ANBQS-4A, and ANBQR-2B and offers a semi-secure navigational reference point. Work has been initiated to power the transponder with a nuclear isotopic power supply SNAP program in order that reliable long operating life is achieved.
