• Tawazun supports Thales for the creation of the Underwater Training Centre (UWTC)
• The Underwater Training Centre will create and maintain local capabilities on the operational and tactical use of UAE Navy Sonar Systems supported by cutting-edge technology and State-of-the-art operational Know-How
• At the UWTC, Thales will be supplying the most highly advanced simulators on the market, integrating key digital technologies

By leveraging Thales’ position as a world leader in sonar systems and related products for naval forces, the UWTC will provide initial training through a Generic Sonar Simulator (Surface ship, helicopter, Maritime Patrol Aircraft, submarine) as well as a fully realistic simulation with real time processing, operational sonars and high fidelity modelling for equipment previously provided by Thales to the UAE Navy. Thales’ aim is to support the Navy in training the current and future generations of UAE Naval crews operating in the underwater warfare domain.
This Training Centre will be fully autonomously managed by the UAE Navy, with courses controlled by them. The curriculum and training courses specific to the current and future Naval Crews operating in the underwater warfare domain will benefit from a dedicated Instructor Training and coaching programmes.

As the UAE Navy needs access to instruction and training resources based on the latest technologies to make the right decisions at every decisive moment at sea, Thales will be providing the most highly advanced simulators on the market, integrating key digital technologies such as big data analysis and artificial intelligence.  

Thales is the world’s leading developer of sonar and related naval defence systems, supplying some of the most powerful Naval forces around the world. The Group has been forging close partnerships with these customers for over 60 years and are a testament to the sustainable competencies and unique expertise in naval systems the group brings to bear.
