IDRS - intercept detection and ranging system

SONARTECH ATLAS is arguably the world leader in intercept technology, with a complete family of products that provide exceptional intercept solutions in a wide variety of operational situations.

The same ground breaking technology can be delivered in a number of standard packages, or can be completely tailored to suit a specific operational situation.

DescriptionPertinent information

The underlying IDRS technology is capable of producing range and bearing solutions, both automatically and manually, from individual intercepted sonar transmissions or transient events. This can be augmented with contact specific detection facilities, broadband processing options and intercept TMA solutions among other options.

IDRS HF
A compact implementation of IDRS that provides all of the primary functionality. The system interfaces with a set of dedicated IDRS sensors which provide data across the frequency range from 1-100kHz, with 360° of azimuthal coverage for both range and bearing solutions.
IDRS MF
The IDRS MF system combines IDRS intercept functionality with a complementary broadband ranging capability to provide an exceptional distributed array (DA) processing solution. A number of sophisticated detection processes, working on the fully beamformed DA data set, augment the automatic detection capabilities of the system.).
IDRS LF
By providing an interface to existing flank arrays, IDRS LF extends the intercept detection and ranging capability down to the lowest frequencies useful for ranging.
