Norway's new standardized vessel class: potential littoral ASW capabilities
- Norway's new Long Term Defence Plan introduces a class of standardized vessels with some Anti-Submarine Warfare capabilities. They can potentially take a lead role in littoral * Anti-Submarine Warfare.
- Blindly rising detection threshold is not a good way to remove sonar clutter. Dedicated clutter removal, both before and after tracking, is better.
- Even in strong reverberation environments do sonars benefit from larger dimensions and lower frequencies.
