Thales touts mini-sonar for underwater drones ahead of UK Navy pitch
PARIS — French defense-electronics firm Thales has developed a miniaturized sonar that can equip underwater drones to detect submarines, with plans to demonstrate the system to the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy at an event on Wednesday.The new system brings a “dramatic reduction” in size and weight from traditional sonar systems, Ian McFarlane, sales director for underwater systems at Thales UK, told Defense News in a written reply to questions. P…
Developed in record time, the 76Nano, created by the French group Thales, is a new generation sonar designed to improve underwater detection and surveillance for the UK, NATO and their allies, specifies the company in a press release published on 15 December. Thanks to the artificial intelligence integrated directly into the sonar, it can quickly identify targets and make decisions with an "unprecedented" precision.The future of underwater warfa…
Thales offers first insight into new 76Nano sonar system
Thales has given new insight into Sonar 76Nano, a compact tile based sonar system developed to support the Royal Navy’s push toward distributed and uncrewed underwater sensing. The company briefed UK Defence Journal on the prototype following a rapid ten month development cycle linked to emerging requirements within Project Cabot and the wider Atlantic Net and Bastion concepts. According to Ian McFarlane, Sales Director for Underwater Systems at…
Thales develops modular sonar for uncrewed anti-submarine and seabed warfare - Navy Lookout
Thales has unveiled its Sonar 76Nano prototype developed in response to a growing recognition within the Royal Navy that traditional approaches to anti-submarine warfare are no longer sufficient. While the system draws lineage from the highly effective Sonar 2076 submarine sonar, its true significance lies in how it has been conceived for uncrewed operations, rapid […] The post Thales develops modular sonar for uncrewed anti-submarine and seabed…
CAPTAS sonar, S-Cube suite for submarines, SonoFlash acoustic buoys… The effectiveness of Thales' solutions in the field of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) is well established. But the company has just expanded its offering with the 76Nano, a compact acoustic detection system it describes as "revolutionary." This new sonar has been put into operation… This article, "Thales unveils a 'revolutionary' sonar boosted by artificial intelligence," first a…
