One of nine countermeasure MoU’s signed by Naval Group Pacific in Australia, the co-operation with MTSA is aimed at entrusting them with the fabrication of equipment composing countermeasures and/or its associated launching system.

Naval Group Pacific is proposing a breakthrough in anti-torpedo countermeasures for Australian submarines and surface ships programs (SEA 1000 Australian Future Submarine, SEA 5000 Hunter Class frigates and SEA 4000, upgrade of Hobart Class air warfare destroyer) with CANTO, the latest countermeasure generation based on dilution/confusion multi-effects.

This anti-torpedo system, fitted with its associated reaction module, CONTRALTO is already in service in the French Navy and in several blue-water navies.

The announcement comes after a series of MoU signings by Naval Group at Pacific 2019, including two major Industry 4.0 agreements with Flinders University and ASC Shipbuilding.
