AN/AQS-24 Sonar
The AN/AQS-24 uses state-of-the-art digital electronics in both the operator's console and the towfish to provide much higher resolution, longer detection ranges and deeper depth than the AQS-14A.
A technology refresh and addition of the new laser converts the AN/AQS-14A into the AN/AQS-24 that provides positive visual identification of objects and improved sonar resolution. Northrop Grumman has been performing this aggressive upgrade program that substantially improves both the capabilities and performance of the AN/AQS-24 over its predecessors.
