    The AN/SSQ-53G (GPS) sonobuoy is a passive directional sonobuoy that combines omni-directional and directional acoustic sensing capabilities. It has four acoustic sensor modes and GPS location reporting capabilities. Operators can select sensor modes, buoy parameters, and control RF channels using Electronic Function Select prior to launch or Command Function Select after deployment. It is air launchable and stabilized by parachute in water.

    AN/SSQ-53G (GPS) DIFAR Sonobuoy

    Passive Directional with ASCII NMEA GPS


    The AN/SSQ-53G (GPS) DIFAR US Navy A-size sonobuoy combines a
    passive directional and calibrated wide-band omni capability into a single
    multi-functional sonobuoy. This is the recommended DIFAR
    Sonobuoy for international customers requiring GPS capability.

    This sonobuoy features both Electronic Function Select (EFS) for use
    prior to loading and launching and Command Function Select (CFS) to
    allow the operator to modify the sonobuoy’s modes of operation after it
    has been deployed in the water. These functions allow the operator to
    select operating mode (sensor selection), buoy life, depth setting, AGC
    level and RF channel.

    The AN/SSQ-53G (GPS) can operate in four acoustic sensor modes


    selectable via EFS or CFS. A Constant Shallow Omni (CSO) provides
    acoustic information at a fixed depth of 45 ft (13.7 m) while a Calibrated
    Omni (CO) co-located with the DIFAR sensor provides acoustic
    information at a selectable operational depth. The Calibrated Omni
    sensor can operate with acoustic bandwidths of 20 KHz (CO) or 40 KHz
    (XCO). The buoy amplifies the underwater acoustics and provides
    directional data necessary to establish bearing to the energy source.

    The AN/SSQ-53G (GPS) has GPS location reporting capabilities


    following activation to transmit NMEA formatted messages. The
    sonobuoy transmits the GPS messages RMC, GSV, GGA, and GSA at an
    update rate of 5 seconds on a subcarrier centered at 33.5 KHz for CSO,
    CO, and DIFAR modes or centered at 45 KHz for XCO mode.

    The AN/SSQ-53G (GPS) DIFAR is air launchable from fixed or rotary-


    wing aircraft or can be deployed from the deck of a surface vessel.
    Descent of the sonobuoy is stabilized and slowed by a parachute.
