Submarines are one of the most effective and powerful instruments in maritime security policy as they perform a wide number of operations including intelligence and supporting the fight against asymmetric threats. A concealed submarine can force an enemy navy to waste resources searching large areas of ocean and protecting ships against attack. 
With more than fifty submarines of various types (SSK, SSN or SSBN) equipped with Thales sonars at sea today, Thales is a world leader that holds about fifty percent of the accessible submarine market and supports ten Navies worldwide.
To deliver solution, Thales leverages its top-performance acoustic sensors and processors as well as its expert Sonar System integration capability.
