SyQwest Inc. manufactures and tests transducer ceramic stack assemblies for the TR-343 transducer which is used on a broad array of US Navy surface ships. The TR-343 transducer is part of the AN/SQS-53 Hull Mounted Sonar Array Assembly which is a component of AN/SQQ-89(V) acoustic sonar weapons (ASW) system. The AN/SQQ-89(V) is a fully integrated Surface Ship Undersea Warfare (USW) combat system with the capability to search, detect, classify, localize, and attack submarine targets. The Ceramic Stack Assembly provides the required piezoelectric characteristics to produce mechanical motion in the water for generation of sonar signals when a large voltage is applied.
