Thales will provide Dutch submarines with advanced sonar systems

Thales, a long-time partner of the Naval Group and the Royal Netherlands Navy, will provide a comprehensive set of high-performance sonar systems for future Orka-class submarines. These systems will replace existing Walrus-class vessels and provide the Netherlands with operational superiority in the underwater environment.

The Orka-class submarines will form the backbone of the Dutch submarine fleet and will be equipped with the most advanced sonar systems from Thales. These systems will allow submarines to obtain a comprehensive picture of the underwater acoustic environment, which will significantly increase their combat capability and effectiveness in performing various tasks.

Integrated sonar systems from Thales will provide Orka-class submarines with the ability to detect and track underwater targets with high accuracy. This will allow the Netherlands to guarantee operational superiority in the underwater environment, which is especially important in the face of modern challenges and threats.

Thales is a long-standing partner of the Naval Group, which allows both companies to effectively cooperate in the development and implementation of advanced technologies for submarines. This partnership ensures the high quality and reliability of the supplied systems, which is a key factor for the successful fulfillment of tasks by the Dutch submarine fleet.

The Walrus-class submarines in service with the Royal Netherlands Navy will be replaced by new Orka-class vessels. This update will allow the Netherlands to significantly enhance its capabilities in the field of underwater warfare and provide a higher level of security.

The provision of a comprehensive set of high-performance sonar systems from Thales for Orka-class submarines is an important step in strengthening the defense capability of the Netherlands. These systems will provide submarines with operational superiority and enhance their combat capability, which is especially important in the face of modern challenges and threats. The partnership with the Naval Group and the Royal Netherlands Navy allows Thales to continue to implement advanced technologies and ensure the high quality and reliability of the supplied systems.
