Navy officials said the firm is the lowest bidder and the Defence Ministry has to take a final decision on the inking of the deal.
‘Atlas Elektronik has won the competition for the ATAS, which will equip the Delhi and Talwar class ships initially and subsequently be manufactured in India under cooperation with Bharat Electronics Limited,’ Atlas Elektronik’s India head Khalil Rahman said here on Wednesday.
He said the first six systems will be manufactured at the company’s facilities and the follow-on batches would be manufactured in Indian under the Transfer of Technology (ToT) arrangement with Indian public sector unit.
Rahman said an ATAS is necessary for detection of submarines and torpedoes and in today's underwater warfare environment the determining advantage is to detect a submarine beyond the weapon range (of the submarine), thereby denying offensive capability.
