"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."
