Raytheon DeepSiren Closes Submarine Comms Gap At Arctic Exercise:
"During a U.S. Navy exercise, Raytheon's DeepSiren underwater acoustic communication system bridged a capability gap for submarines operating beneath the Arctic ice by providing on-demand tactical mission and emergency response information.
The system was successfully operated during the Navy's ICEX 2011 exercise conducted by the Arctic Submarine Laboratory far north of the Arctic Circle.
'Raytheon DeepSiren enables operational commanders anywhere in the world to quickly send tactical messages to a submarine operating at speed and depth - even under Arctic ice,' said Steve Moynahan, senior engineer, Raytheon Network Centric Systems (NCS), who deployed with DeepSiren to support the exercise. 'This addresses one of the most significant shortfalls in submarine communications to provide mission-critical information while the vessel is submerged.'"
