NIXIE or the AN/SLQ-25 is what type of counter measure device?
|
Passive electro acoustic decoy system.
The AN/SLQ-25 Nixie is a towed torpedo decoy used on US and allied warships. It consists of a towed decoy device, and a shipboard signal generator. The decoy emits signals to draw a torpedo away from its intended target. The Nixie attempts to defeat a torpedo's passive sonar by emitting simulated ship noise, such as propellor and engine noise, which is more attractive than the ship to the torpedo's sensors. Active sonar is decoyed by amplifying and returning "pings" from the torpedo, presenting a larger false target to the torpedo. The more modern AN/SLQ-25B also incorporates a towed array sensor, to detect submarines and incoming torpedoes. |
