SEARCH & RESCUE

The X-FIELD is a wideband blade sensor receiver delivering near-complete spherical acoustic coverage across 1kHz to 600kHz. Designed for direct integration with UUVs and USVs, it mounts under the platform hull, reduces trim ballast, and provides real-time broadband directional sensing at under 2 watts. Dual 7-element hexagonal arrays with 40dB left-right separation give the X-FIELD exceptional directional resolution across the full frequency range — from ultra-low to ultrasonic.

Benefits

Full spatial awareness

Nearly complete spherical coverage means no acoustic blind spots. The X-FIELD detects from every direction simultaneously without platform repositioning.

Ultra-low power

Operating at under 2 watts, the X-FIELD extends mission endurance on constrained UUV and USV platforms without compromising sensing capability.

Ultra-low power

Operating at under 2 watts, the X-FIELD extends mission endurance on constrained UUV and USV platforms without compromising sensing capability.

Rapid platform integration

At 4.5" × 5.5" and one pound, the X-FIELD mounts directly under UUV and USV hulls — reducing rather than adding to trim ballast.

Broadband frequency range

95% efficiency at 1 watt per five pulses per second. Mission endurance is not compromised by acoustic source power requirements.
