Undertaken over a number of days in June, the SATs period saw the Sonar 2150 system perform detection and tracking on a submerged target. “Despite somewhat challenging weather conditions, the trials team [on Portland ] successfully proved both active and passive performance in conjunction with Royal Navy personnel,” said Ultra in a 30 July statement. Further performance proving activities are planned later in the year.
Ultra Electronics is delivering the Sonar 2150 programme under a GBP27 million (USD37.6 million) contract awarded by the UK Ministry of Defence in late 2014. Replacing the legacy Thales Sonar 2050 bow sonar, the new system is to equip the RN's eight anti-submarine warfare (ASW)-roled Type 23 frigates (comprising Kent , Northumberland , Portland , Richmond , Somerset , St Albans , Sutherland , and Westminster
