Ecuadorian Navy’s 209-type submarines to get S-Cube sonar suite

Written on March 14, 2008 – 8:55 pm | by Frontier India Strategic and Defence |

On the 19th of December 2007 Thales signed a contract with the Chilean shipyard Asmar for the supply of its latest compact S-Cube™ sonar suite. This equipment is part of the modernization programme of the Ecuadorian Navy’s 209 type submarines.

Thales offers to supply its latest generation of sea proven S-CubeTM sonar system to fulfill all the requirements of the Ecuadorian Navy at no risk and a very competitive price. The sonar configuration proposed is based on the same technology as the large sonar suites installed on the French and British submarines adapted to a very compact packaging.

The sonar uses Planar flank array and state of the art sonar processing, especially the adaptive beam-forming already at sea with many navies.
