Thales: contract with Naval Group for a sonar
(CercleFinance.com) - Thales announced today that it has won a contract from Naval Group to test an autonomous passive hull sonar as part of a project launched by the French defense procurement agency (DGA) to test an unmanned combat submarine demonstrator.
The omnidirectional passive hull sonar supplied by Thales will help to secure the autonomous navigation of an XL-UUV UAV, particularly during 'sight recovery', providing a better understanding of the surface environment.
These technological and tactical capabilities should provide an operational response in the medium term for underwater warfare and new forms of naval combat, the defence electronics group explains.
