Anti-Submarine Warfare :
New threats and the need to conduct operations in both deep and shallow waters have led to a significant shift in operational requirements. Building on solid credentials and uncomparable skills in the undersea battlespace, Thales works with individual customers to tailor its proven, interoperable solution to the specific needs of any type of surface vessel.

Mine Warfare :
Sea mines remain a very efficient and cost-effective mean to disrupt commercial shipping as well as to deny naval operations. They are cheap, easy to deploy, and deadly. Numbers of low-tech mines are rising, and are increasingly matched by higher-tech variants, harder to find, and often programmed to detect specific signatures or use torpedoes.
