The US Navy has signed a contract for the supply of next-generation sonar buoys
The US Navy has awarded a new generation of sonar buoys to the Ultra Group.
According to the American press, the company is the world leader in the supply of sonar buoys. Its services are used by the navies of the United States, Canada, Great Britain and a number of other states. But the main consumer of the company's products, of course, are the US Navy.
Ultra has a well-established history providing best-in-class sonar buoys to the US Navy. One of the main tasks of the company at present is to reduce the cost of supplied equipment. This policy fully fits into the overall strategy of the American fleet to reduce operating costs.
It is worth noting that any actions to strengthen the country's defense potential are considered by the Pentagon as very significant in the context of the general confrontation with China. After all, it is the navy that is called upon to play a key role in the rivalry of powers in the Asia-Pacific region, but its modernization will require appropriate efforts from the United States, including financial ones. If the company manages to reduce the cost of buoys, this will be very positively received in the Pentagon and lead to an increase in purchases.
With the help of new generation sonar buoys, it is planned to monitor the movements of not only submarines, but also unmanned underwater vehicles. At the same time, new buoys can be secretly placed in the area of military bases of countries that the United States has identified as its main opponents. In other words, we are talking primarily about Russia and China. The new buoys are capable of not only tracking, but also using secure communication channels to transmit data to the control panel of operators at US Navy bases.
