SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

ACOUSTIC COMMS

The X-PULSE is a broadband impulsive acoustic source producing 217dB re 1μPa at one metre — outperforming FM chirp in reverberation conditions where conventional sources lose resolution. Compact enough to fit in a UUV nosecone, the X-PULSE delivers mission-grade acoustic output at 1 watt per five pulses per second. Operating from 5kHz to 500kHz with up to 0.2 joules per impulse, it covers small object detection, swarm coordination, underwater communications, antifouling, and beacon deployment from a single system.

Benefits

Mission-grade source level

217dB re 1μPa at one metre in a nosecone form factor. No comparable conventional source achieves this output at this package size.

Superior reverberation performance

Broadband impulsive pulses outperform FM chirp in reverberation — the exact shallow-water conditions where conventional sources lose resolution.
