Tods Defence wins contract for Spanish submarine sonar domes

Tods Defence has been awarded a contract by the Spanish shipbuilder Navantia to supply the carbon composite, bow sonar domes for Spanish Navy’s new S80 submarines.

With a total surface area of 80 m2, each dome acts as an acoustic window and both protects and optimises the performance of the submarine's bow underwater detection and warfare sensors.

Under the current contract Tods will supply a total of four domes over the next four years. Each dome will be produced in three pieces by Tods and delivered to Spain for final assembly and installation.
