Tritech Successful with Swedish Navy
UK-based Tritech has been selected as the preferred supplier for sonar and acoustic positioning onboard SAAB Seaeye Falcon remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for Försvarets Materielverk (FMV), the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration. The ten ROV systems will be deployed for seabed surveys, inspections, light underwater work and recovery of objects and encompass a full suite of Tritech sonars including Gemini multibeam imager, Micron mechanical scanning sonar, PA500 altimeter and MicronNav USBL.
The selection of Tritech’s sonars follows demonstrations at Portland Harbour, Dorset, UK where SAAB Seaeye (UK) invited Tritech to mine countermeasure (MCM) demos. Here Tritech highlighted the capabilities of its underwater sensors and data acquisition and logging software, Seanet Pro, to assist the ROV pilot to navigate, locate and position to target and subsequently obtain visual confirmation of the target.
Tritech has been active in the Defence industry for over two decades and its industry-recognised sonar equipment is the first choice for many NATO Navies MCM and neutralisation operations offering innovative, flexible and cost-effective solutions.
