Under the amended contract, ELAC will deliver the sonar system for an additional unit of a new build submarine programme for the Italian Navy.
The amendment brings the total value of the contract, which was awarded in 2021, to over €100 million and covers the supply of sonar systems for a total of four submarines.
Andy Thomis, Cohort Chief Executive, said: "This important order is another significant win for ELAC and demonstrates its ability to meet the demanding specifications of the Italian Navy.
"We believe that ELAC’s Sphere digital hydroacoustic technology provides the most advanced and effective sonars available worldwide, enabling a generational leap in underwater battlespace performance.
"Together with other recent contract wins at ELAC and across the Group, this announcement further demonstrates the visibility of our future revenues."
