"Thales will provide "an advanced integrated mine countermeasures combat system, including the mine information system, a hull-mounted sonar, a towed synthetic aperture sonar [SAS] and expendable mine disposal systems," the company said in a statement.
The towed synthetic sonar array is the DUBM 44, an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) that uses onboard processing of digital signals to provide high-resolution imagery. The DUBM 44 UUV is not autonomous and is connected by cable to the surface ship.
Thales would also work with local partner ST Electronics on unspecified areas as part of the Singapore deal."
