Thales Started Production Of CAPTAS-4 Sonar For US Navy

Thales has confirmed that the US Navy’s FFG-62 Constellation-class frigate is to be equipped with its CAPTAS-4 low-frequency variable depth sonar (VDS). [...] The selection of CAPTAS-4 – the largest and most powerful member of the CAPTAS family of low-frequency active/passive sonars – means that the US Navy becomes the 14th customer navy for the CAPTAS line.

During a 29 August 2022 roundtable at the Pentagon to coincide with the start of fabrication on CONSTELLATION FFG 62, our colleague Chris Cavas brought up the decision to switch from the Raytheon DART sonar to the Thales CAPTAS-4 to Rear Admiral Casey Moton, NAVSEA Program Executive Officer, Unmanned and Small Combatants
