Selex Galileo's Sonic System OTS-90 Successfully Showcased on Board NH-90

(February 25, 2010) -- SELEX Galileo's sonic system OTS-90 was demonstrated successfully during recent flight trials performed in Australia.

In a demo flight during the PAC2010 Exhibition, the helicopter NH90 (NHF) deployed the sonic sensor for a dip just in front of the Sidney Opera House.


SELEX Galileo's OTS-90 is an integrated system combining dipping sonar and sonobuoys.

The system will equip the MFH ASW (Anti Submarine Warfare) fleet of the Italian Navy (Marina Militare) (46 Systems) and the Dutch Navy (14 Systems). The OTS System was developed to meet the requirements of the 4 partner Nations of the NH-90 programme: Germany, France, Netherlands and Italy.
