Knudsen Systems Inc. (KSI) has delivered orders under its multiyear contract with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC), Division Keyport for supply of 320N COTS fathometers and peripheral equipment. Deliverables include 12 320N systems, 12 Sonar Simulators and 36 Remote Displays. The orders come on the heels of a recent sale of 10 systems to the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as delivery of a unit to the U.S. Foreign Military Sales Office.
The 320N Fathometer - now officially dubbed as the AN/UQN-10 by the U.S. Navy - was selected as the drop-in replacement for obsolete AN/UQN-4 fathometers. KSI in Ogdensburg, N.Y. is the exclusive U.S. distributor for the 320Nmanufactured in Canada byKnudsen Engineering. Designed to meet critical retrofit requirements, as well as new ship builds, increasing sales for the new AN/UQN-10 fathometer are projected.
