Atlas Elektronik to deliver sonar systems to Indian Navy
ATLAS Elektronik has signed a contract to make six active towed array sonar systems (ACTAS) for the Indian Navy.
Details of the €40 million contract were released on 5 January.
The ACTAS operates in the low-frequency range and permits observation of the sea space at ranges over 60km, depending on conditions.
It offers an exceptional operational range advantage to warships over the radars and weapon systems of submarines.
It can locate and track surface vessels as well, allowing for reconnaissance of ships as well as submarines in the sonar search area.
Deliveries to the Indian Navy will begin in 2016.
