The Infrasonic Advanced Acoustic Generator (IAAG) developed by Thales Australia for the US Navy's (USN's) mine-countermeasures fleet is to be trialled by the Australian Department of Defence as part of its capability and technology demonstrator (CTD) program.

Six IAAG shipsets have now been delivered to the USN and Thales Australia anticipates further contracts to equip the balance of the 14 Avenger-class ocean minesweeper/minehunter vessels.
