Once the solution is launched into the water, it generates numerous high-level 360° acoustic signals to cover the full frequency range of the attacking torpedo.

The system can be used to help navies protect mission-essential units.

In 2016, Naval Group conducted operational trials of the CANTO 130mm anti-torpedo decoy to test the capability of the solution to divert incoming torpedoes away from their original target.

The system can dilute/confuse the homing ability of the torpedo by generating false targets, which draw the attention of the incoming torpedo and ensure the protection of the ship.
