TMS 2000
processors offer a rapidly deployable ASW capability, with installation
requiring only minor modifications to the aircraft. Sonobuoys are released
over the sea by a fixed- or rotary-wing aircraft and send acoustic data
to the processor via a VHF link. The VHF receiver on the aircraft receives
and processes the data in real time.
With the TMS 2000 system, Thales offers a solution that is both cost-effective
and highly efficient in operational terms. It is quick and easy to install
and delivers excellent signal processing performance and display quality.
Overall, the TMS 2000 represents an ideal solution for navies that need
to quickly acquire an ASW capability.
Thales offers proven sonobuoy processors for maritime patrol aircraft
as well as helicopters of all sizes. The operational performance of
sonobuoys has improved rapidly in recent years, making them an increasingly
serious threat to any submarine seeking to avoid detection.
With a large number of systems already in service, Thales is a leading
player in sonobuoy processors and is maintaining a significant level
of investment in order to ensure client navies benefit from the very
latest systems and technologies.
The TMS 2000 processor is one of the most advanced currently available
on the market and equips NH90 helicopters operated by the French, Norwegian
and Swedish Navies as well as the Royal Navy’s EH101 Merlins.
