Advanced Acoustic Concepts, a US subsidiary of Thales, received a US Navy order for two integrated Remote Mine Hunting modules and related technical support. The contract is worth USD 53.9 million, while options for additional modules could raise the potential total to USD 196.2 million, according to FinanzNachrichten.de.
The Remote Mine Hunting solution combines synthetic-aperture sonar, artificial-intelligence-supported target recognition software and remote vehicles. It is designed to locate and classify underwater mines from a distance, reducing exposure for naval personnel and vessels.
For Thales, the order adds another defense program to its underwater-warfare portfolio. The options provide potential follow-on volume, but their value depends on future exercise decisions by the US Navy.
