Patria Sonac ACS makes use of the company’s patented sound source technology, providing acoustic performance over a wide frequency spectrum and completely supporting the ‘Mine Setting’, ‘Target Simulation’, and ‘Mine Jamming’ modes of operation.
This design enables precise reproduction of pre-recorded or synthesised submerged or surface target signatures, making it efficient against intelligent influence sea mines.
Given its compact size, Patria Sonac ACS is suitable for future lightweight autonomous multi-influence minesweeping systems.
Patria’s Systems Business Unit president Jonas Geust said: “We are very proud to provide the Royal Norwegian Navy with world-class capability as the critical part of their future naval minesweeping toolbox. The development of Patria Sonac ACS is based on Patria’s long-term experience and know-how in the design and development of acoustic sweeping gear and multi-influence sea mines.”
