Thales: French Navy chooses the SonoFlash buoy
(CercleFinance.com) - Thales has announced that the French Navy has chosen to equip itself with its new generation SonoFlash acoustic buoy.
This buoy offers "unequalled performance-to-mass ratio that builds on decades of expertise in sonars and acoustic sensors to offer an ambitious new solution," Thales said.
While buoys today are either passive or active, the SonoFlash buoy combines the best of both modes: combining a powerful, optimised low-frequency transmitter with a high-directivity passive receiver.
The combination of these two capabilities, and the added advantage of long endurance, mean that the SonoFlash buoy is suitable for a wide array of deployment scenarios, it added.
