SEA to deliver TLS to three SE Asia navies
SEA will deliver Torpedo Launcher Systems (TLS) to three navies in Southeast Asia, Cohort announced on 18 April.
Under seperate awards, the TLS will be delivered for the Royal Thai Navy’s DW3000F class frigate, the HDF-3000 frigates being built for the Philippine Navy and a new class of littoral combat ships under construction for the Royal Malaysian Navy.
SEA’s TLS can be configured to fire any NATO standard lightweight torpedo, enabling operators to benefit from the flexibility of choosing the best weapon independently and the option of re-configuring during the life of the ship.
With modular design, the TLS also has a common tube selection panel as part of the combat management system to enable fire control electronics to be adapted to interface with the ship’s decoy launchers as well as the TLS.
David Hinds, SE Asia vice president, SEA, said: 'Based on technology originally developed for the UK Royal Navy, SEA has become a leading supplier to navies in SE Asia and we are confident that there are further opportunities in new build and refurbishment projects for frigates and other similar ships throughout the region.'
