Thales: first delivery in the MMCM program
(CercleFinance.com) - Thales says it will deliver the first mine countermeasures drone system to the French Navy in December 2024, a world first under the Franco-British MMCM program, steered by DGA and under the aegis of OCCAR.
A real technological breakthrough in the conduct of mine countermeasures missions, this system limits the exposure of sailors to danger, and helps to secure the maritime domain, the backbone of the global economy, Thales says.
The system delivered comprises a surface drone equipped with TSAM towed sonar for locating and classifying sea mines. Its operations can be piloted from land, a mother ship or a ship of opportunity.
