“Magnetic signature? 100% irrelevant, magnetism decays nears exponentially and could only be detected out to a few feet at best from the sub.”

Not correct, or we’ve wasted a LOT of money on those Magnetic Anomaly Detectors on our helicopters and P3s

somehow, detection technology discussion carries all the more weight coming from someone called “Mr. Inviso.” ;)

Those damn Orion's were pains in the... The LAMPS were tough too. Other than that skimmer sailors were fish bait. We opted against the Spruance after her shakedown and our skipper told us she was a vast improvement. He indicated she would be quite formidable with a towed array. I know that sorta dates me. I wonder how many improvements we have made since. Many many I would bet.

I did a little searching around and I stand corrected. It is fascinating that they are searching for the object’s interference with the earths magnetic field. I am not aware of any thing like this being in the fleet, do you know if there are any production contracts for this?

One of the systems I came across suggested that they will get a %20 range improvement using some new approach. That system stated an operational range of a little bit under 15 miles. I would be impressed if they, or anyone attempting this in ocean object detection technique, could achieve those ranges using this technology. This would still be less range than other in service existing technologies.
