The towed
array sonar ACTAS operates in the low-frequency range and permits observation
of the sea space at ranges in excess of 60 kilometers, depending on
the sound propagation conditions of the water. The performance of ACTAS
delivers to warships an exceptional operational range advantage over
both the operational range of radars and weapons systems employed by
submarines. ACTAS can also locate and track surface vessels which permits
reconnaissance of both submarines and ships in the same sonar search
area.
The signing of the contract confirms the pronounced competence in hydro
acoustics of ATLAS ELEKTRONIK as a leading supplier of maritime electronic
systems in the international market. |
