Trailer collecting technical data from dipping sonarPeake recently built a mobile operations trailer for Thales Defense and Security Inc. Thales will use the trailer for mobile operations within their Defense-Airborne Systems division.The trailer is currently being used to record technical data from helicopter’s equipped with dipping sonar. Dipping sonar systems are deployed to provide a lightweight, mobile detection sensor for locating and tracking submarines. Thales developed FLASH (Folding Light Acoustic System for Helicopters), the world leader in acoustic dipping sonar, and provides these solutions to the US Navy, the UK Royal Navy, the United Arab Emirates, France, Norway and Sweden.Peake’s integration of this mobile operations trailer include:
