Counter the mine.
End to end, robot first.
A mine-countermeasures and EOD mission is a chain of tasks — wide-area search, buried-target detection, re-acquisition, disposal and rehearsal. SepcoTech scopes the whole chain across suppliers, so the vehicle goes first, the network keeps everyone located, and the diver enters the water last.
One mission, several makers — scoped as a single capability.
No single product clears a minefield. Wide-area search, buried-target detection, close identification, acoustic disposal and realistic training each favour a different tool. Buying them piecemeal from four companies leaves the integration — and the accountability — with you. SepcoTech specifies the mission first and assembles the systems around it, from four manufacturers, delivered and supported as one.
How an MCM & EOD mission runs
Each phase names the system that does it — and links to that system's page. This is where ‘platform-agnostic’ stops being a slogan.
Wide-area search & detection
Man-portable MCM AUVs run side-scan and magnetometer survey lines — solo or in a swarm — to map candidate contacts across a wide area before anyone enters the water.
SystemAUV COMET-MCM · RTsysBuried-target detection
Where mines are silted-in or buried, an AUV carrying active electric-sense (ELWAVE) discriminates buried metallic targets that pure sonar can miss.
SystemA.IKANBILIS + ELWAVE · BeeXRe-acquisition & identification
A zero-visibility-capable AUV re-acquires each contact and identifies mine from clutter in black water and strong current, close to the seabed.
SystemTethys ONE · Tethys RoboticsDiver-held search & navigation
When a diver is committed, a handheld sonar-and-navigation console gives detection, precise positioning and acoustic comms — with a deliberately low magnetic signature for influence-mine work.
SystemSONADIVE · RTsysAcoustic firing & disposal
Charges are placed and fired by acoustic command from a surface module — no fragile electric firing lines, divers clear of the blast radius.
SystemSONABLOW · RTsysTraining & rehearsal
A recoverable acoustic target rehearses the whole detect-classify-dispose cycle and trains sonar operators, so the crew is ready before the real tasking.
SystemSEMA training target · RTsysThe systems, and where each one lives
Beyond the core cycle, these platforms extend the mission into confined spaces, diver support and the surface network.
ExRay — Confined & Hull-Adjacent Inspection
A tetherless micro-ROV for flooded, confined spaces and hull-adjacent search where a tether would snag — wireless flyout with live HD video.
Hydromea ExRay →
Chinook — Diver & EOD Support ROV
An inspection-class ROV that supports divers and recovers evidence or ordnance with a manipulator — keeping people out of the water for the routine looks.
SEAMOR Chinook →
Surface Communication Module — The Backbone
The topside hub that tracks divers and vehicles, relays acoustic positions and messages, and gives the supervisor one coordinated picture of everyone in the water.
RTsys SCM →Two operators. No crane. In the water in minutes.
Every element of this mission set is built to deploy from small craft and austere shorelines — so a team can search, classify and neutralise wherever the threat is, without a dedicated mine-hunter on station.
How SepcoTech scopes and delivers this as one package
A four-supplier MCM & EOD capability from SepcoTech differs from buying four things from four companies in one respect that matters on contract: a single accountable partner. We take one requirement, run one specification exercise across RTsys, BeeX, Tethys, Hydromea and Seamor, and return one quotation and one delivery schedule.
What you get from one contract
- One requirement scoped across every supplier
- One specification and one quotation
- One delivery schedule and one warranty administrator
- One export-control conversation, not four (scope confirmed on enquiry)
- One training programme covering the whole toolset
Why it matters operationally
When a sensor and a vehicle from different makers have to work as one picture, a single accountable partner owns the integration — so the gaps between products are our problem, not yours. Platform-agnostic: we specify against your mission profile, not a single catalogue.
Who runs this mission
Navy MCM Squadrons
Route survey, harbour and anchorage search, and Q-route clearance ahead of amphibious operations.
EOD & Clearance-Diver Units
Locating, identifying and neutralising ordnance with the robot leading and the diver committed only when needed.
Coastal UXO Programmes
Clearing legacy ordnance along shorelines and shallow approaches — the densest UXO problem in European waters.
Trusted by allied navies and agencies
Every reference below is a supplier's customer, labelled as such — not a SepcoTech delivery record.
A safe pair of hands for defence at sea
Authorised Distributor
We represent each manufacturer directly — specification, supply and through-life support, coordinated from Denmark, inside NATO and the EU.
Scoped From the Requirement
Platform-agnostic. We specify against your mission profile and integrate across suppliers, rather than fitting your requirement to one product line.
One Contract, One Invoice
Multi-supplier systems specified, quoted and delivered as a single package by one accountable partner.
Backed Through Life
Operator and maintainer training, and through-life support for every system we supply; spares and calibration scoped on enquiry.
