www.thalesgroup.com High quality sonar with concurrent all-round anti-submarine warfare surveillance and self-protection to carry out escort, harassment and prosecution in littoral waters. High performance in littoral environment Excellent performance against submarines particularly in harsh conditions such as littoral waters. Self-protection against multiple threats Primarily ASW capability with simultaneous early torpedo warning. Complementary underwater obstacle/mine-like avoidance capability. Robust and easy to integrate Lightweight and compact sonar that easily fits with virtually any platform and combat system. Cooperative asset Accurate target positioning to prosecute and engage distant submarines with airborne assets. Capable of multi-static operation with most current low frequency sonars in operation world-wide. Reduced operator workload User-friendly, state-of-the-art Human Computer Interface. Same look & feel as CAPTAS VDS for high interoperability. Mammals safe Adjustable source level and noise monitoring for sea mammal protection. Low Life Cycle Cost Large installed base and continuous evolutions for inherent customer’s long term support. PEDIGREE More than 150 Hull-Mounted Sonars sold by Thales Underwater Systems. KINGKLIP has been selected by: South African Navy (Meko A200 class) Indonesian Navy (Sigma class) Royal Moroccan Navy (Sigma class) United Arab Emirates Navy (Abu Dhabi class) ANTI SUBMARINE WARFARE KINGKLIP Compact Medium Frequency Active and Passive Hull-Mounted Sonar (HMS) for Small to Medium Platforms

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
KINGKLIP is particularly efficient to detect submarines in roughsea states and coastal/littoral waters, where difficult reverberationconditions prevail.
It complements a CAPTAS Variable Depth Sonar to provide goodcoverage above & below the thermal layer.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICSSystem features:
• Designed for small to medium size Surface Combatant
• Compact and lightweight cylindrical array installed inside anacoustically transparent dome (keel mounted)
• Provides ASW all-round surveillance
• Several transmit configurations allowing operation with two shipsin the same area
• Integrated On-Board-Training capability
• Embedded bathythermograph & performance prediction functionfor sonar optimisation
• Comprehensive Built-in Test capability
Options:
• Can be operated either from CMS consoles or stand-alone
• Underwater telephone capability
• Powerful ASW Sonar Suite when integrated with CAPTAS VDS
