    This document provides information about the AN/SSQ-53F sonobuoy, which combines passive directional and calibrated wideband omni capabilities. It can operate in three acoustic sensor modes (CSO, CO, DIFAR) that are selectable via EFS or CFS. EFS allows selection of operating mode, life, depth, AGC level and RF channel before launch, while CFS enables modifying the sonobuoy's configuration after deployment. Key specifications include a 1 Watt 96-channel RF transmitter, factory configurable depths from 90-1000ft, and selectable EFS and CFS options for RF channel, life, depth, sensor and AGC level.

    AN/SSQ-53F DIFAR Sonobuoy

    Passive Directional
    The AN/SSQ-53F is a NATO A-size sonobuoy manufactured for the U.S.
    Navy which combines a passive directional and calibrated wide band
    omni capability into a single multi-functional sonobuoy. This advanced
    sonobuoy combines the capabilities of both the AN/SSQ-53D and AN/
    SSQ-57 sonobuoys.
    The Q-53F can operate in three available acoustic sensor modes that are
    selectable via EFS or CFS. A Constant Shallow Omni (CSO) provides
    acoustic information at a fixed depth of 45 ft (13.7 m) while a Calibrated
    Omni (CO) co-located with a DIFAR sensor provides acoustic information
    at a selectable operational depth. The buoy amplifies the underwater
    acoustics and provides directional data necessary to establish bearing to
    the source of the acoustic energy.
    This sonobuoy features both Electronic Function Select (EFS) for use
    prior to loading and launching, and Command Function Select (CFS) to
    allow the operator to modify the sonobuoys mode of operation after it has
    been deployed in the water. These functions allow the operator to select
    operating mode (sensor selection), buoy life, depth setting, AGC level and
    RF channel.
