The French company's subsidiary, Naval Group Pacific, has proposed a "breakthrough in anti-torpedo countermeasures for Australia’s submarine and surface ship programs with CANTO, the latest countermeasure generation based on dilution/confusion multi-effects".
The solution applies the "dilution/confusion concept to defend high value and mission essential units by generating high-level acoustic signals over 360-degree, covering the full frequency range of the attacking torpedo".
The anti-torpedo is currently in service with the French Navy, as well as other foreign navies.
“This capability will provide navies with a combat-proven solution and if manufactured in Australia, will provide transfer [of] new technology and skills to local industry," said Francois Romanet, CEO of Naval Group Pacific.
The full list of MOUs signed, as well as a description on their works, is listed below:
