The Patria, Finnish company, has completed the delivery of its SONAC acoustic minesweeping systems to the Royal Norwegian Navy.

These systems are advanced tools for marine minesweeping, capable of generating high sound pressure across various frequencies, from infrared to ultrasonic, accurately simulating any vessel.

The system offers real-time control for the operator, allowing the selection of acoustic signals from a library or the creation of custom signals for acoustic recognition.

The Patria SONAC system is effective for both mine positioning and target simulation, with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to operate and monitor equipment status. The company has also provided these systems to the navies of Belgium and the Netherlands, as reported in 2021.

Additionally, Patria expanded its drone lineup with the introduction of three new models: Patria SKY, Patria ONE, and Patria GEO, following the acquisition of Nordic Drones in 2024. These drones, which meet both military and civilian needs, include the Patria ONE, which can be equipped with a warhead, and all feature a three-stage operator protection system to ensure safe handling of munitions.
