LOOK: THALES' CAPTAS 1 SONAR OFFERED FOR PHILIPPINE NAVY VESSELS!

Описание: In this video, we dive into the recent news from ADAS 2024, where Thales has officially offered their CAPTAS-1 variable depth sonar (VDS) to the Philippine Navy. Initially thought to be reserved for the HDP-2200 offshore patrol vessels (OPVs), CAPTAS-1 is now being considered for the larger Jose Rizal-class frigates and Miguel Malvar-class corvettes. This compact, cost-effective sonar system could significantly enhance the Navy's anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities, especially when paired with the Thales FLASH dipping sonar already used by the AW159 Wildcat helicopters.

Why is CAPTAS-1 a potential game-changer? How does it compare to the larger CAPTAS-2, which is typically installed on medium-sized ships like frigates? We'll break down everything you need to know about this strategic decision and its implications for the Philippine Navy.
