Ultra's Towed Arrays To Be Used By Royal New Zealand Navy

Ultra has won a contract to supply towed arrays to its sister company, UK-based Ultra Electronics Sonar Systems, which will be used by the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN), under a contract announced in July.

The Sonar Systems business had won a contract valued at approximately $18M (CAD) to supply two Sea Sentor Surface Ship Torpedo Defence systems for the RNZN Frigate Systems Upgrade (FSU) programme.

Ultra's towed array is the key acoustic sensor for Sea Sentor, a system installed in naval ships to detect, classify and localize incoming torpedoes, and to activate countermeasures against them.
