Elbit Systems has been awarded a number of contracts,
worth approximately $56 million in total, to supply Anti-Submarine
Warfare (ASW) capabilities to the Navy of an undisclosed country
in Asia-Pacific.
The contracts will be performed over a 12-month
period.
Under the agreements, Elbit Systems will provide
Seagull USVs (Unmanned Surface Vessels) configured to perform
ASW missions and the Towed Reelable Active Passive Sonar (TRAPS)
systems.
The Seagull USVs will integrate Helicopter/Ship
Long-Range Active Sonars (HELRAS) and will be equipped with the
Elbit Systems’ autonomous suite, Combat Management System and Satellite
Communication capability.
The TRAPS systems, which will be
installed onboard the customer’s corvettes, are low frequency
variable-depth-sonars intended for detection, tracking and
classification of submarines, midget submarines, surface vessels
and torpedoes.
Oren Sabag, Co-General Manager of
Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW, said, “Advanced autonomous and
sonar capabilities are a key to addressing the expanding
challenges in the underwater arena. We believe that our portfolio
of proven maritime capabilities is well positioned to support the
growing operational requirements of naval forces around the
world.”
