  P-3 Orion
The adaptive controlled phased array (ACPA) is a sonobuoy antenna system which consists of four antennas arranged in a diamond formation on the belly of the aircraft.
Acting as the sonobuoy receiver system, the advanced sonobuoy communication link (ASCL) extracts acoustic data received from the sonobuoy as it is picked up by the antennas.
A sonobuoy signal testing device, called the acoustic test signal generator (ATSG), broadcasts sonobuoy signals and simulated acoustic data on all 99 radio frequencies to check the system while the aircraft is on the ground.

 Sonobuoy Management
By fusing the information from multiple sonobuoys, it is possible to make accurate determinations of the location of a submarine.
It accomplishes this by selecting sonobuoy patterns for deployment based on its current information about the sub's position and the location of the aircraft, deploying selected patterns, interpreting the information presented by the sonobuoys, and then determining its next action.
The sonobuoy manager monitors the submarine's position and generates simulated contacts when the submarine enters the detection zone of any currently active sonobuoys.

 Advanced Air Deploy Sonobuoy
A smaller package for air deploy active receivers is desired to allow new platforms to be used for launch.
In addition a larger sonobuoy array is also desired but must fit into the existing launch canisters.
APL researchers have invented a new ADAR which allows for a reduction in size to deploy the current standard sonobuoy configuration.

 NDM Article - Army’s Web Portal Expanding Under New Management
Coyote, five feet long and with a wingspan of 30 inches, is designed to be dropped from sonobuoy launchers on the Navy's P-3C Orion antisubmarine aircraft.
For this concept to work, the UAV has to be small enough to fit in a narrow sonobuoy tube that's less than 3 feet long and 4.5 inches wide.
Branthoover said Coyote is scheduled for a test launch from a Navy C-12 aircraft next spring, followed by a launch from a P-3 in the summer.

 Barra Sonobuoy sonar - Australia Innovates - Powerhouse Museum
The Sonobuoy is dropped from an aircraft into the sea.
The array is connected to a radio transmitter in a buoy floating on the surface.
Each Sonobuoy is loaded into a coded tube, so the place where each is dropped can be recorded.

 General Dynamics Canada - Sonobuoy Acoustic Processing Systems - Overview
The cornerstone of GD Canada's approach to providing sonobuoy acoustic processing systems has been its incremental, but technologically aggressive, private venture product improvement program.
This process of continuous refinement and enhancement has ensured that the sonobuoy acoustic processors continue to lead the market in processing capabilities that encompass advanced submarine detection algorithms (narrowband, broadband and transient), leading edge microprocessors and low-complexity, object-oriented software design and implementation.
We have delivered sonobuoy acoustic processing systems that process as few as 4 sonobuoys to larger systems that process 64 sonobuoys concurrently.

 ASA 150th Meeting Lay Language Papers - Communicating underwater using natural ocean noise
Two sonobuoys equipped with GPS were deployed off the quarterdeck to receive the ABC transmissions from the barrel-stave transducer.
Once the sonobuoys became operational in the water, they drifted with the current at about half the speed of the ship, which was moving primarily under the influence of the gale force winds.
The gram on the right is from the sonobuoy 1300 m from the ship, i.e., the first sonobuoy to be deployed.
