LCAP

LCAP serves as a sonobuoy test, development, and evaluation platform. As an underwater acoustic platform, it enables the recording, command/control, and acoustic processing of sonobuoys operated by the Navy P3, P8A Poseidon, and the MV-22 Osprey. LCAP is compatible with all current, next generation, and experimental sonobuoy types in the Navy’s inventory. LCAP offers an integration capability for system evaluation. With real-time sonobuoy processing ability, the LCAP system provides in-situ observation, analysis, and an on-screen display for both at-sea and in-flight research and development. Engineers and operators can interpret results, identify problems, and adjust test plans immediately.
