Naval forces of the USA have signed a contract for the supply of sonar buoys new generation with Ultra Group.
According to American media, the company is a world leader in the supply of sonar buoys. It is also used by the navies of the USA, Canada, UK and some other countries. But a major consumer products company, of course, are the naval forces of the United States.
Ultra has a well proven history of providing best-in-class sonar buoys for the US Navy. One of the main objectives of the company currently is reducing the cost of the equipment supplied. This policy is fully implemented within the overall strategy of the American fleet to reduce costs for its activities.
It should be noted that any actions to strengthen the defense potential of countries considered by the Pentagon as very significant in the context of a General opposition to China. Indeed, in the rivalry of powers in the Asia-Pacific region has a crucial role to play Navy, but its modernization will require the United States related efforts, including of a financial nature. If the company can reduce the costs of the buoy, it will be very welcomed at the Pentagon and will lead to increased purchases.
With the help of sonar buoys new generation is planned to monitor the movements of not only submarines but also unmanned underwater vehicles. The new buoys can be placed discreetly in the area of military bases in countries that the US has identified as its major opponents. In other words, we are talking primarily about Russia and China. New buoys are able not only to monitor but also to use secure communication channels for data transmission to the control panel of operators in bases of the U.S. Navy.
