ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Officials at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), a unit of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) in Arlington, Va., recently selected Sensorcom, Inc. of Annapolis, Md., to supply integrated subsystems, using single-board computers from Interactive Circuits and Systems Ltd. (ICS) in Ottawa, Ontario, for the Acoustic Trials Measurement System (ATOMS).
ATOMS is a submarine self-monitoring system that acquires and processes noise data in real time, ICS officials say. The deployment goal for ATOMS is a loop feedback system for noise generated at the structural level and from the propulsion system. At the structural level ATOMS will provide early warning of loose fittings resulting in greater security and reduced maintenance costs. The propulsion system monitor will provide feedback to the propulsion system's developers for product enhancement, company officials say.
Sensorcom and ICS engineers have already delivered four 6U systems for the ATOMS program. When complete, ATOMS will result in deployment of an acoustic measurement system initially on all Virginia-class New Attack Submarines. Each ATOMS system uses eight ICS-610 (PCI) analog to digital conversion boards.
"Sensorcom is our largest systems integration partner," says Dr. Dipak Roy, ICS' president. "Clearly, the ATOMS program will enable us to continue to build upon the momentum already established between the two companies."
