Key Industry Players at the Forefront of the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System Market
Several leading companies dominate the surveillance towed array sensor system sector, including RTX Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Thales Group, L3Harris Technologies Inc., Leidos Holdings Inc., Wärtsilä ELAC Nautik GmbH, Teledyne Instruments Inc., Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, Aselsan Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Curtiss-Wright Corporation, QinetiQ Group plc, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH, Exail Technologies SA, Cohort plc, Sonardyne International Limited, MacArtney A/S, DSIT Solutions Ltd., GeoSpectrum Technologies Inc., Optics11 B.V., and Concept Cables Ltd.
In a notable partnership announced in March 2025, Optics11 B.V., a Netherlands-based firm specializing in advanced fiber-optic sensing systems, joined forces with Thales S.A. to upgrade Dutch submarines with cutting-edge sonar technology. This collaboration aims to bolster Optics11's foothold in fiber-optic sensing innovation by leveraging Thales's extensive global market expertise and drive broader applications in underwater surveillance. Thales S.A., headquartered in France, is a prominent public company known for its services in the surveillance towed array sensor system domain.

Technological Advancements Driving Market Expansion in the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System Industry
Leading companies in this market are investing heavily in technology enhancements such as the small waterplane area twin hull (SWATH) form, designed to improve vessel stability, sonar capabilities, and operational efficiency in challenging maritime environments. The SWATH hull design features two slender submerged hulls connected by narrow struts to the upper platform, significantly reducing the waterplane area and improving performance.
A prime example of this innovation took place in February 2025 when Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), based in Japan, launched the fourth Hibiki-class vessel for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). This new ship is equipped with advanced towed-array sonar systems, which enhance Japan's maritime surveillance and anti-submarine warfare capabilities. The deployment of this vessel marks a vital advancement in improving maritime situational awareness, strengthening undersea threat detection, and boosting JMSDF's operational effectiveness in complex naval theaters.
