Description

Report Overview

The towed sonar system market encompasses advanced underwater acoustic detection and surveillance technologies deployed primarily by naval forces and maritime security agencies. These systems consist of hydrophone arrays towed behind surface ships or submarines, enabling long-range detection, classification, and tracking of submarines, mines, and other underwater threats through passive or active sonar capabilities. The market is driven by increasing defense budgets, rising geopolitical tensions, and the modernization of naval fleets worldwide, particularly in regions like the Indo-Pacific and NATO member states. Technological advancements, such as low-frequency active sonar (LFAS) and multi-static sonar networks, are enhancing detection ranges and accuracy, while integration with unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and AI-driven signal processing is expanding operational flexibility. Key challenges include high development costs, stringent environmental regulations (due to potential marine life impact), and the need for interoperability with existing naval systems. Major players include Thales, Lockheed Martin, Ultra Electronics, and L3Harris, with growth opportunities in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) upgrades and coastal surveillance applications. The market is projected to grow steadily, supported by increasing submarine proliferation and the strategic prioritization of undersea domain awareness.

The global Towed Sonar System market size was estimated at USD 726.64 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.50% during the forecast period.
