SAES, a leading company in underwater <\/span>defence<\/span> and protection with its main headquarters in Cartagena (Region of Murcia) and offices in San Fernando (C\u00e1diz), has signed significant agreements at <\/span>Exponaval<\/span> 2024: one of the most important naval fairs in Latin America, held this week in Valpara\u00edso, Chile. Among these agreements is a contract with the Chilean Naval Aviation for the maintenance of the SPAS acoustic sensor and collaborations with Chilean company SISDEF, thereby strengthening its presence and commitment to advanced technology in the region.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/h3>\n\n

SAES, a leading company in underwater defence, announced today the signing of several key commercial agreements during its participation in Exponaval 2024, one of the most important naval fairs in Latin America, held from December 3 to 6 in Valpara\u00edso, Chile. These agreements highlight Chile’s strategic position for SAES and strengthen its commercial and technological relationships in the region.<\/p>\n\n

Among the agreements signed today by SAES, a contract with the <\/span><\/span>Chilean Naval Aviation<\/span><\/span><\/strong> stands out for the <\/span><\/span>maintenance of the SPAS acoustic sensor<\/span><\/span><\/strong> (Sonobuoy Acoustic Processor System) <\/span><\/span>installed on the Chilean Navy’s P-295 maritime patrol <\/span>aircraft<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/strong> This important contract ensures the operational capability of the SPAS acoustic sensor for the coming years, guaranteeing the continuity and effectiveness of maritime patrol operations. This system has been operational since 2010 on the two P-295 Maritime Patrol Aircraft with anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability of Chile.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n

The SPAS is an advanced underwater acoustic signal processing system designed to detect, locate, and classify underwater targets, primarily submarines. The system analyses data collected by sonobuoys, providing precise and real-time information on the position, type, and characteristics of detected targets. This technology is essential for maritime surveillance missions and anti-submarine operations. <\/p>\n\n

According to Javier M\u00e1rmol, President and CEO of SAES, “this contract not only strengthens the relationship between SAES and the Chilean Navy but also underscores our commitment to the modernisation and maintenance of advanced underwater defence technologies and to closely collaborating to enhance maritime security in the region.” <\/p>\n\n

Moreover, SAES has signed a collaboration agreement with the Chilean company SISDEF<\/strong>, dedicated to developing System Engineering solutions primarily for defence and security, aligning with SAES’s objectives in the maritime and industrial fields. This collaboration aims to provide advanced acoustic solutions to the Chilean Navy, enhancing its operational and technological capabilities.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n

SAES President and CEO, Javier M\u00e1rmol, highlighted that “these agreements consolidate the growth and international presence of SAES, a fundamental strategic objective for our company. By strengthening our commercial and technological relationships in Chile, we not only advance our business goals but also contribute to generating wealth and employment at our headquarters in Cartagena. The expansion of our international presence allows us to share our advanced underwater defence technology while creating value for both our commercial partners and the communities in the regions where SAES is based, whose highly skilled workers are essential to SAES’s success. This commitment to excellence and innovation positions us as leaders in the sector and reaffirms our dedication to economic and technological progress.” <\/p>\n\n

Participation in Exponaval 2024 has provided a platform to consolidate these ties and ensure continued technological collaboration between Spain and Chile. <\/p>\n\n
