Propulsion Noise Test System

New London, CT

The Propulsion Noise Test System (PNTS) is the only known land-based facility in the world capable of measuring the radiated noise of an operational underwater vehicle while excluding noise from propulsor and body-flow components. The system measures both external and internal radiated noise, while providing real-time monitoring of test item status. This land-based testing is far more cost-effective than in-water testing and provides more data with greater fidelity.
